Tailscale keeps the private keys locally, . It just facillitates setting up wireguard. They could steal your private keys, as could any program you install with root access. But it would comepletely destroy their business, and it’s open source. I really dont think they have anything to gain by tricking everyone

Use headscale, I have no idea how people are OK with tailscale when they keep your keys and essentially have access to your network

They could steal your private keys, as could any program you install with root access

There you go.

and it’s open source.

Are you sure that what you download from https://tailscale.com/download is 100% open-source and the same thing that is published on their repos?

Same goes for Cloudflare. Maybe Tailscale is secure and good people, or maybe they copy all keys to somewhere and covertly share them with govt agencies.
