It does too many things, and the product has got too complex. I saw a year ago they were looking for someone just to help with complexity.

I use it but feel uncomfortable, that it has large attack surface and LLMs will find exploits in it.

Without taillock it makes no sense. Anyone on their coordination servers will be able to connect to your network.

The large attack surface is a good point. I started using it initially and the ease of setting up a vpn was nice, but then I came across few security vulnerability postings which led to concern so I went to Wireguard. I think they should reign in the features and treat it as a secure vpn first and foremost and remove unnecessary features to minimize the attack surface.

Doesn't this apply to any application you use? How would it be different with plain wireguard?

Seriously ?

You do realise that of all the security tools on the planet, plain wireguard most likely has the smallest attack surface of them all, right ?

The problem here is as the other poster said. Tailscale is a security tool and yet the guys at Tailscale seem to be insistent on dumping everything INCLUDING the kitchen sink into it as a "feature".

That sort of attitude is not going to end well. You end up with a large bloated code base, which equals large attack surface.

		I am talking especially about the LLM part. Also a kinder tone in your comments would be more appreciated.
