I'm a network engineer but use TailScale for my home lab. It's a great product, that works very reliably for me. Also a huge shoutout to Alex for all his TailScale videos. They are a brilliant resource and this is someone who's been in enterprise networking since 1994. I use Tailscale extensively at home and keen to get used at work in the future. Thanks again Alex your videos are brilliant. 🥳

Absolutely stellar. Setup across my infrastructure required less than an hour, seamless integration. Everything just works, no nonsense. Beautiful engineering.

Tailscale might be the greatest experience I have had with networking applications in my 20 years of IT. It is extremely well built and easy to configure. It opens up a wealth of opportunities for small and medium size companies that would struggle to create solutions otherwise. Everyone in IT needs to try this tool.

Insanely easy to use, and SO powerful out of the box. Just the free tier is amazing for connecting devices across the globe, or anywhere, either for security or for geo-location use cases.
The user experience is fantastic, their guides are great, just... hats off to Tailscale.

Free tier is perfect for me.
I can circumvent the CGNAT imposed by my ISP and connect to my local network by installing it on a remote device, and on a local device (configured as exit node).
Using the funnel feature I can also access my home assistant remote with a secure URL without a client, and it also allows me to connect Google Home to Home Assistant using this a part of the solution.

Absolute goat for my use case. 'Exceedingly' well documented, handles IDP like a charm, access list is stupidly well documented and easy to integrate, have integrated on Android TV/Mac/Windows/Android/Linux/Unraid, and have had 0 problems caused by their implementation. Integration with Mullvad AND NextDNS is flawless. The free tier is fantastic for getting a taste. Does require a reasonable knowledge of what you're doing, but given how it scales, you only need one competent administrator for a group. SSH integration means that I'm never having to reach around for credentials. Telemetry/funnel/serve were all an investment of time and research, but, they've all been running for months without a single problem to be seen. Can't recommend enough, but, be certain that this is actually what you need.

It works, but the documentation is hopelessly lacking in detail. they assume the reader knows too much and have not put critical thought into their documentation process.

as such, we gave it a pass for our organization. we need partners that document things well enough that we can parachute new employees and not have them quit out of frustration with a vender system.

I'm happily using Tailscale since an year to connect to my home devices.
I love how easy it is to set up and the fact that you don't even have to open any firewall ports to connect to your devices, very interesting detail especially if you are behind carrier grade NAT (like me).

Very good! I use it to connect my server / PC network together; it makes the entire experience seamless. Furthermore, the security is great: I don't have to expose *anything* to the open web just to use it remotely.

One disadvantage, however, is that some companies block Tailscale for... well, no reason. That's annoying.

Forced 3rd party logins to use, steer clear.
