I am sick of people shilling to this thing here. Stop exploiting HN for free advertising. Every Wireguard post here has become a free ad for this company.

EDIT: Stop supporting parasites repackaging and rebranding open source and selling it while leaving the author who single handedly made this entire thing possible begging for donations on Patreon

You've been breaking the site guidelines repeatedly, both in this thread and unfortunately in others (and we've had to ask you about this before). We ban accounts that do that. Would you mind reviewing https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html and sticking to the rules when posting here? The intended spirit is curious conversation.

Again, please do your job and delete astroturfing comments and ban these users. This company has been exploiting HN for so long to promote itself whenever a post about Wireguard go to the frontpage. They don't even have a ready product. This website encourages really sneaky types of marketing if you don't take action.

Last time I talked to him about it, Jason Donenfeld was not upset about Tailscale. You'll have to find someone else to be vicariously outraged for.

Of course I am sure he is extremely happy spending 5 years developing the next big thing then others rebrand it for enterprise and become rich.

Actually, I haven't heard of them and they look like a pretty nice way of connecting different resources over the internet. I am not sure what you mean by parasites. I am glad they posted the link in this thread. Wireguard is an opensource project, Tailscale is a paid service. Do you think they compete with each other or you think that people should not share product recommendations at all on HN?

One could just as easily make the opposite complaint that WireGuard is receiving undeserved hype because it is just a tunneling protocol without a control plane.
