Tangential ... I think I read somewhere that I cannot become a customer of tailscale without FAANG credentials ? As in, I cannot simply sign up with my own personal identifiers (email, phone, etc.) but need to participate in a google auth or FB auth mechanism ? I found it hard to believe - is this, indeed, the case ? | ||||||||

It's possible to use Tailscale with just a passkey [0], but it's a weird process because they don't let you create a tailnet and a passkey account at the same time. Instead, you need to create an account with a throwaway FAANG credential and send yourself an invite to that account's tailnet, and then use that invite to create a passkey-linked Tailscale account. This account can then create its own tailnet, at which point the original tailnet (and the throwaway FAANG account) can be discarded. It's a weird process and not particularly user friendly (passkey accounts are tied to a specific passkey and can't have additional ones added, so you need to create a new account if you, say, migrate from one hardware key to another). Hopefully they improve the process before passkey support goes out of beta. | ||||||||

Since April 2023 they support custom OIDC providers[1], and as of April 2024 that was extended to the free plan as well[2], so you can bring your own auth. | ||||||||

You need one of the following: Google, Microsoft, Github, Apple or your own OIDC Provider. They do not have their own account backend. So you dont technically need a FAANG account if you have a Gitea, Gitlab, Authentik Account or something like that. | ||||||||

You can also use Codeberg. | ||||||||
