if there's anyone from tailscale is currently lurking this post:

1. How much traffic cost would you expect to get into your DERP instances when this service will be available globally?

2. How much bandwidth would you prepare just for proxying these nodes into public network?

3. How do you think some users might abuse this service in the future?




It looks like they're bracing for a lot of traffic or abuse:

I was thinking this would be cool to run some live video stuff on, but maybe that's too much bandwidth for now :)


I'd love to learn what the bandwidth limits are.
