WHY YOUR VPN MAY NOT BE AS SECURE AS IT CLAIMS

VPNs may not provide complete protection against snooping when connecting from untrusted networks. Attackers on the same network can abuse the DHCP protocol to force a target's traffic off the VPN tunnel without triggering alerts. By running a rogue DHCP server and manipulating gateway settings, attackers can snoop on the target's traffic while passing it through to the legitimate gateway, bypassing the VPN's encryption.

SSO TAX, CUT

This blog post discusses why Tailscale originally charged extra for advanced identity providers and why it decided to remove this charge. Tailscale requires SSO and doesn't allow for username + password authentication, but made the decision to charge extra for some paid/advanced identity providers, believing that clients of those IdPs might want premium features anyway. However, when Tailscale reevaluated its pricing structure, it realized that this created an SSO tax and customer feedback indicated that it didn't really impact their chosen services.
