Description

Securely connect to anything on the internet with Tailscale. Built on WireGuard®, Tailscale is networking technology that enables you to make finely configurable connections, secured end-to-end according to zero trust principles, between any resources on any infrastructure. Tailscale brings identity to the network layer, so that you can control access based on user identity, not only IP address. This gives you the power to intuitively and flexibly define which users should have access to which services based on existing user identities, as well as groups, services, and subnet ranges.

Tailscale transforms your existing network from a legacy hub and spoke model to a modern, lightweight, and responsive mesh networking architecture that eliminates single points of failure and delivers better performance, scalability, and security for your end users, devices, and remote resources.

Replace legacy VPNs, connect workloads across on-prem and cloud infrastructure providers, power Zero Trust initiatives, and make remote access secure by simplifying software-defined networking and security operations. Deploy a zero-config VPN, securely access resources on any infrastructure, unlock developer workflow networking, and modernize Enterprise networking at scale with Tailscale.

Tailscale is hardware-agnostic—so you can make decisions about your hardware independently from decisions about your network. Tailscale creates an overlay network, using your existing network, so you can incrementally deploy it without needing new network switches or to change your network architecture.

Tailscale works with 100+ technology integrations and dozens of identity providers, and is available on a wide range of operating system platforms, including Apple’s macOS, iOS, and tvOS.

What’s New

Version 1.80.2

- Fixed: Nodes could lose the display names of owners of peers in rare cases. This had manifested in missing names in `tailscale status` and could prevent incoming Tailscale SSH connections from being accepted. The behavior is reverted to that of v1.78.x and earlier.

Absolutely brilliant

Tailscale is a fantastic service that makes my life so much easier. It’s easy to setup with great features - HTTPS, taildrop and Tailscale ssh for example are brilliant and just the general NAT wizardry removes a layer of hassle/annoyance - it automagically deals with everything and just works. The VPN on demand feature ensures connection and is configurable and it seems like the recent battery improvements in version 1.62.0 of the iOS app have improved the battery drain issues I was experiencing for my particular use case. It’s now using about 9% in a 24 hour period, so still some work to do - but now usable. I look forward to further battery optimisations that will hopefully get that down to 1-3% like WireGuard so I can continue to use the app. Overall though, Well done for a fantastic product and active support community. Truly a great product. 👍

Brilliant and free

Not only am I able to access my home PC from anywhere, I run a subnet with a Raspberry Pi at home and that allows me to remotely control my Icom ham radio equipment, that connects via RJ45 Ethernet, using the iPhone SDR-modem app over Tailscale when away from home.

The Tailscale app is very stable and “just works”.

Fantastic

I’d previously been using WireGuard with a Raspberry Pi at my home and parent’s house. While this worked it was a good amount of config, setting up all my devices, etc.

Tail scale is a breeze, SSO with Google for auth, subnets exposed so effortlessly I often forget that I’m going across the Tailscale connections when accessing NAS devices or CCTV NVR.
