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.

Why do manually what you can Tailscale?

Used to have my own Wireguard setup, but that's a pain when you add new devices, have difficult NAT networks, etc. Tailscale makes that simple. Offsite backup running on a raspberry pi in a network you don't control? Just throw tailscale on it. Need to use public wifi at the coffee shop with the creepy guy with a laptop in the corner you're sure must be hacking everyone? Just start your exit node and bank away in peace. Want the benefit of Pi-Hole on you're phone whenever you're away? Just throw tailscale on it with a defined DNS server pointing to your pihole box. My go to answer these days for all things networking? Just throw tailscale on it.

Regarding this app specifically? I've had no issues with it on a 14in M1 Pro for the last few months of using it; easy to conenct, start your exit node, etc. Well done devs.

Fully functional client and exactly how software should be done

Tailscale is an amazing piece of software. Only a few days and I am super impressed by the ease of use and how it's so functional with things like specifying exit nodes, etc.

The fact that it's available via the App Store means much less configurations for the Mac end user such as granting specific permissions in Mac settings, etc.

Flawless!

The Future of VPN

When I was searching for multiple programs and system to route networks together and get connected to different endpoints, I ran into a wall.

Up comes TailScale and helps me out with everything I need and more!
