I suppose many apps need to phone home, but I wonder about the loss of control if a lot of apps and devices start embedding this.

Tailscale seems better for controlling my own network?

Lol i expected a text about protecting relays from mechanical or electric problems. You know those real mechanical relays we used to build computers of some years ago

Same, having worked on firmware that controlled relays (and NAND chips) and managed to burn them both out surprisingly quickly due to software bugs :p

> A leaked token enables connections, but not impersonations. The token is addressed to one specific endpoint's public key

So now the problem is moved to "how do you decide who to issue tokens to?", which every project must solve individually. It might sound like I'm being dismissive here but I think that's exactly the right approach.

Does this mean the official relay now requires an account to use?
