Corporate VPN startup Tailscale secures $230 million CAD Series C on back of “surprising” growth

Pennarun confirmed the company had been approached by potential acquirers, but told BetaKit that the company intends to grow as a private company and work towards an initial public offering (IPO).

“Tailscale intends to remain independent and we are on a likely IPO track, although any IPO is several years out,” Pennarun said. “Meanwhile, we have an extremely efficient business model, rapid revenue acceleration, and a long runway that allows us to become profitable when needed, which means we can weather all kinds of economic storms.”

Keep that in mind as you ponder whether and when to switch to self-hosting Headscale.

I just replaced my entire setup with base wireguard as a challenge, easier than I expected it to be, and not hard to mimic tailscale.

If you just have to talk from many devices to the one server sure, but Tailscale sure makes it easy for many to many. Also if a direct connection is impossible (e.g. firewall of china, CGNAT etc) tailscale puts a relay server in the middle for you.

My entire setup might not be your entire setup, I have the basic functionality of connecting multiple systems into one mesh network. That's all I needed so it's all I did.

Any helpful guids or links you feel like sharing for interested parties?

I did this was well awhile ago. Felt nice to completely control everything.

Can you elaborate how?

Pihole and pivpn get along like peas and carrots.

Make the "available ips" your pivpn subnet and ta-da, the mesh functionality of tailscale without the entire connection.

Want to exit node from the server? Just change the value back to 0.0.0.0/0.
