So the main parts that you need aside from Wireguard support in your OS, is the Tailscale client and the Headscale hosted server?

Is the client fully FOSS? Or are there still any parts of this typical deployment that could be rug-pulled if the company gets enshittified?

    Great question! You use the Tailscale clients which are fully open source. Headscale is compatible with them, and if TS gets sketchy (which, very well may happen), those clients would need a fork.

    Tailscale's network is with paying for it you need enterprise features and they do have a free tier. I'm not going to lock myself in there though and prefer a full FOSS option.
