About:
Tailscale is a zero-config VPN that creates a secure, private mesh network connecting all your devices. It uses the WireGuard protocol to establish encrypted peer-to-peer connections, allowing you to access machines, services, and files remotely as if they were on the same local network.
Key Features:
  • Zero-configuration mesh networking
  • Uses modern WireGuard encryption
  • Single sign-on with Google, Microsoft, or GitHub
  • NAT traversal and relay fallback
  • Exit nodes for location masking
Use Cases:
  • Secure remote access to home or office servers
  • Developing across multiple machines seamlessly
  • Accessing devices behind restrictive firewalls
Alternatives:
  • Cloudflare Zero Trust – More enterprise-focused with additional security layers
  • OpenVPN – Requires manual configuration and certificate management
  • ZeroTier – Similar mesh networking but different protocol and management model
