A friend mine responds to that:
"yeah... but if you look at the sources or use your own
headscale server (headscale is completely compatible,
apparently) [the eavesdrop] concerns are practically moot. Yes,
they could collect some tracking info, but likely far less
useful info than what google or microsoft gleen from bing or
google maps or whatever."
"doing the investigation has convinced me that the threat of
interception by tailscale.com is relatively small and
manageable."
"They are after all trying to make money from services and
features, and do not appear to be a fundamentally evil
organization that is out to get all your personal info and
monetize you like google or microsoft �r facebook."

I have been disappointed in RDP in the past. I've had many
dropped or "stuck" connections. VNC (via TightVNC) has served
me well.

Then take a look at headscale.
