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.

To be fair, anything the GUI clients do can be done with the CLI which is still open source and on all desktop platforms and headscale is literally their open source control server.

Yea, but in iOS?

[–] lud@lemm.ee 3 points 11 hours ago (1 children)

I mean is anything iOS really open source?

[–] fmstrat@lemmy.nowsci.com 1 points 2 hours ago

Yes? There are Lemmy clients that are open source, for instance. And the Wireguard client is.

The iOS app is the exception for now but with the CLI and the core libs being open source it’s at least not off the table to make an alternate iOS client I’d say.
