You're right. I guess my brain wouldn't let me process something as dumb as a corporate security control based on blocking a website to keep people from installing a binary.
Anyways, I'm just here to say, corporate security teams are definitely not OK with you doing a rogue Tailscale install, and that's as it should be.

You might be shocked at how often I get "can you deploy a tarsnap server on port 443? My company's security team won't let me connect to your server on port 9279" requested.
I mean, it's trivial to bounce the TCP connection... but I'm not going to help subvert security policies.
I work for a Fortune 100 company and this is precisely what our corporate overlords do with non-approved VPN software. There are device management tools on every machine in the corporation to detect and block the software, but that isn't turned on. Just blocking the website. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
