Hey, so this pretty much looks like a Tailscale rip-off. Not a competitor, but a straight-up ripoff in the worst possible way.

Tailscale has LONG used Pangolins as a mascot (https://tailscale.com/blog/network-pangolins). They even run a "Pangolin Enthusiast" website (https://tailandscales.com/) that is essentially a demo site for their tutorials. This is an animal with a tail and scales! The branding is very good.

You clearly chose this name to deliberately create brand confusion with Tailscale, and to derail some of their marketing and community branding in your favor. That's scummy behavior by developers who don't have anything to offer but a copy of someone else's work.

If am going to choose between Tailscale, and a project opportunistically attempting to impersonate Tailscale, why would I ever choose the scummy impersonator?
