Genuine question, so please don’t be mean to whoever responds. Better to learn than to judge.
Curious if people who are on Cloudflare are considering any selfhosted alternatives? If not, interested to hear what is a deal breaker in regards to using a service besides Cloudflare. I do hear a lot of praise for Cloudflare when facing DDOS, and always happy to learn more!
I have a lot more faith in tailscale holding the fort against enshitification. They at least seem to have planned their business plan around free tier for advertising, and minimising the cost of the free tier traffic. Can’t predict the future of course, but from a business model POV, they appear to be well setup.
Headscales main issue is that they rely on the tailscale app, and if the app got paywalled or locked to tailscale, that would kill headscale overnight.
I am very happy with headscale so far though, bit fiddly, but once setup it works very well.
