Tailscale Reviews

Tailscale simplifies a WireGuard VPN so that anyone can set it up. The setup is easy, and maintenance is even easier. It also provides peer-to-peer connections which can be cumbersome to implement with raw WireGuard

There is no official self-hosted option. This forces us to rely on Tailscale's cloud, which may not always be available if one day they disappear. While an app called Headscale does exist, it lacks some functionality.

Having low-latency connections between devices was cumbersome to set up. Using Tailscale, we no longer have to worry about WireGuard configs and can instead focusing on work.

Unlike other VPNs, which can be complex to set up, Tailscale is easy to deploy and configure. I appreciate that it works across a wide range of platforms. Provides secure access to my network resources without the need for a dedicated server or VPN gateway.

Another feature that stands out for me is its security. Tailscale uses WireGuard, a modern, advanced, high-performance VPN protocol that's designed with security in mind.

While Tailscale's pricing may be reasonable for some users, it may be relatively expensive compared to other VPN solutions, especially for larger organisations that need to connect many devices.

Tailscale is a VPN solution that helps us solve the problem of securely accessing our sensitive network resources from remote locations. Its ease of use, extensible configuration, security features, and access control capabilities benefit us by providing a simple, secure, and efficient way to access our network resources over the internet.

Fastest and simplest VPN I have ever setup. Rolling it out to the organization was even easier. First time I've used wireguard but I highly recommend tailscale.

I wish there was an LDAP integration or another way to manage users besides solely through one of the three sso providers.

Works fine for most cases but my person stuff I would appreciate but having to use Google, Microsoft, or GitHub.

Tailscale keeps internal resources within the organization.

Extremely easy to set up, on-board, and manage endpoints for non-technical users but with powerful tools to lock down access to specific systems using ACLs

I've not found anything to dislike. It does everything I need so far.

We are using Tailscale to allow devs to work together on projects and access dev / prod servers securely. As a fully remote workforce Tailscale has been indispensable.

The Tailscale Mesh Network solution delivers a secure solution to keep all your assets and network environments private, and all from an easy-to-use user interface. The use of SAML SSO and the requirement to authenticate each machine (client node), provides a strong and convenient security control with a defence-in-depth approach to your operational security. Then we throw in ACLs, IdP conditional access policies, Tailscale SSH, exit nodes, Tailscale sharing to guests, and it becomes an obvious addition to your networking infrastructure.

I would like to be able to reference my IdP (Azure AD, Okta, etc.) security groups when defining my ACLs.

Implementing a DNS solution has not been straightforward, since we heavily use node-relays.

Tailscale has allowed us to close all the publically facing doors and operate with a truly private network. It has allowed us to spin-up infrastructure and provide secure network access for employees, regardless of their location.

Flexibility, Security, and Ease of use make Talescale number one in its class. I've used this product in everything from access to nodes in my home lab to B2B solutions.

There isn't much that I don't like. I feel this product should be baked into every OS from Desktops, Laptops, Servers, Kiosk, to Phones, Tablets, and POS solutions.

Talescale has made Securely connecting to remote networks much easier than trying to setup and configure standard VPN connections. Talescale has literally saved me many hours and headaches.

We're a small startup and product development team (under 15). Because of our business, we do need some physical hardware in our office, but we also are taking advantage of the flexibility of the cloud.

On the infrastructure development side, Tailscale gives us flexibility to connect cloud and physical resources securely. It lets us design our network and security in the logical fashion we'd like without physical locality constraining us.

Our team is partially remote, and many of them _don't need_ to know whether the resources are local or in the cloud. They can work effectively from wherever they are.

Tailscale has been reliable for us and has allowed us to adapt quickly as the sands of startup life shift beneath our feet.

I didn't initially understand the differences between "teams" and "business" plans from their page because I didn't understand how their ACLs work. I think much use of ACLs will likely require a switch to the business plan.

I don't think there's anything terribly _wrong_ with this; it was just a surprise to me.

- Transparent use of devices in cloud and physical locations for team use, and product development.

- VPN-like remote access.

- Ability to switch on for full traffic protection when on sketchy networks such as coffee shops.

I love the simplicy of the product and the lightbulb moment when you realise where it's useful.

It's a difficult sell in environments where they are dyed in the wool cisco

Test it first

I had two sites and needed to connect the machines between them and because of double NAT one end was having issues.
