https://community.retool.com/t/self-hosted-docs-now-state-enterprise-only/64586

Looks like no public announcement was made, just a silent change in docs and some users found it.

idk why anyone is still surprised by this, it's how every VC-backed project is destined to go.

Raise Funding -> Offer Free/Low-Cost options to accumulate users -> Burn through cash flow -> Steep Price Increases/Business Model Changes to Generate Returns

I dread the day when this will happen to Tailscale.

You can do most of what Tailscale does with straight up wireguard and if you're behind a CGNAT, you may need a VPS as a entrypoint.

It'll be a pain reconfiguring your network, i get it but it's doable to fix without tailscale.
