Ask HN: What's the Deal with Tailscale?
> they actively went after third party coordination servers, wherenas I hear headscale mentioned by tailscale employees all the time.
ZeroTier founder here. We never did anything remotely like that, so I'm curious about where you heard that.
We did adjust our licensing to counter people attempting to take the product, slap their own name on it, and monetize it without supporting us, but we are strongly considering going back to a more liberal license in the near future. In any case we didn't "go after" anyone, just limited commercial closed source use in a manner not unlike the AGPL. We never filed any kind of lawsuits about this or anything.
We also regularly promote third party open source products like this:
https://github.com/key-networks/ztncui
We've never had an issue with non-commercial or FOSS usage.

Selfhosted wireguard vs zerotier (or similar) what is best in terms of security
If you have a VPN somewhere, you could also try Nebula (https://www.defined.net/nebula/) or self-host the management server for Tailscale (https://github.com/juanfont/headscale) or zerotier (https://github.com/key-networks/ztncui).

You should know about using ZeroTier or Tailscale as an easier approach to secure all your connections, while being easier infrastructure-wise than VPN
You can self host a controller of adding/removing devices and all ( https://github.com/key-networks/ztncui ), but it has an upstream connection to their managed services, it’s how the apps and all keep working.

Free plan member limit per network or overall?
There are a couple of Options out there that make controlling the controller easier, either through WEB Guis: https://github.com/key-networks/ztncui https://github.com/dec0dOS/zero-ui

ZeroTier – Global Area Networking
Every zerotier node ships with the CLI network controller, but someone wrote a simple GUI for it and that is on docker.

ZeroUI - ZeroTier Controller Web UI - is a web user interface for a self-hosted ZeroTier network controller. ZTNCUI alternative.
ZeroUI implements controller-specific workarounds that address some existing [issues](https://github.com/zerotier/ZeroTierOne/issues/859). ZTNCUI [does not](https://github.com/key-networks/ztncui/issues/63).

Headscale: Open-source implementation of the Tailscale control server
I've really liked nebula and have been working on a web frontend. Basically define a network and nodes and it uses nebula to generate certificates and has scripts for installing.
What are some alternatives?
