> 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.

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?

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