Is this their version of <a href="https://tailscale.com/tailcat" rel="nofollow">https://tailscale.com/tailcat ? I can't tell if you need to auth
edit: yeah, it says no account creation, neat!

    This is a crowded space with lots of solutions (oss and commercial)

  I believe with tailscale you don’t have to trust a 3rd party with your cleartext traffic

    But you do seem to get to host a https version of your app in case you need features locked behind secure context.

    That can't be right. If they're hosting on a different DNS they have an absolute need to MITM ssl/tls traffic. Can't work otherwise.
    So cloudflare sees your plaintext. Btw: tailscale does not (but ssl errors and warnings are unavoidable)
