I appreciate the response - great blog post. I don't doubt this works for certain companies and components of the ecosystem; it worked for Dropbox (at least for a long time).

Tailscale is clearly a superior product to it's competitors and I have regularly recommended colleagues and clients to evaluate whether it fits their needs. However, unfortunately, that is frequently not enough to "win" in the crowded and bureaucratic enterprise software space.

I would love to be proved wrong here and wish you the greatest success!

The big problem with Tailscale in enterprise is it can't touch anything that interacts with lots of compliance domains, which typically require FIPS.

There are creative ways to get around that, but it makes implementation a complex story and heavy lift.

Of course the typical comment that ignores every other country except the USA.

Which "compliance domains" are you thinking of that require FIPS crypto for access VPNs? Be specific, if you can? Thanks!
