I really wanted to keep it after deciding to switch from Tailscale, but it’s mobile app is draining my phone’s battery. It also disconnects without automatically reconnect. Now, I’m in the process of setting OpenZiti up.
How’s your experience with NetBird’s mobile app?

Because the main reason I’m self-hosting is to have control over my data. This includes a lot of metadata about my infra/services/devices which Tailscale is uploading all the time to their servers. Besides that, they’re on the Enshitification road, which made me to search for 100% self-hosted alternatives. And yes, I’m going for EU based companies when it’s a viable option.

You can self host the Tailscale server via Headscale.

You gave away your metadata getting on the internet today. I like controlling my data as well, however I realize that certain compromises just have to be made in order to continue to live in a global, civilized, society.

While I agree with You that there is always a compromise regarding privacy and participation. But you can always take steps to reduce that delta between reality and ideal by optimizing things.

Didn’t downvote you, and I get what you are saying, but in another way I don’t. What makes every other country safer? Nothing that would happen here in the USA couldn’t happen or is happening in any other country. Oh, and this has nothing to do with people trash talking the US. I do it every day I’m awake. However, for those who go with this line of thought, I honestly want to know what you think Tailscale is going to do with your encrypted traffic? Because the day the world finds out that America has cracked strong ciphers, is the day you are going to see a lot of panic and movement on this planet. And I would certainly love to make that announcement. It’ll be my going out 15 minutes of fame.

A lot of people are boycotting as many things from the U.S. as they can because of the warmongering paedophile, and his cadre of paedophiles.
It’s not exactly exciting to buy into products when you have that stinky orange mess breathing down your neck about how he’s going to invade your continent and annex countries.

You are comparing something that could happen, to something that is already happening, though. Of course people will take stance.

There is an alternative unofficial app available on F-Droid called JetBird.
It is as valid as the official one.
To reduce battery usage, you may want to try Netbird’s Lazy Connections feature.
