I don't know how sustainable it is as a business practice, but I absolutely love the idea of a company doing hard things, telling you all about how to do it yourself, but offering the service to have it done professionally by them. Very cool. Not to mention the tech sounds awesome too.

I've never heard of tailscale I see it's a pretty good option for its purpose and seems to have good no-setup features. What's your opinion on Zero-Tier ? I ask because Zero-Tier does use Peer-to-Peer and you talked abt wanting that!
