I have been using Tailscale VPN with my servers for about 6 months now and I would recommend it to anyone.
I’m running it on both of my Proxmox machines, my laptop, a raspberry pi, and my Android phone. It makes it super easy and secure to access my local services while away from my house.
Very simple set up, minimal initial configuration, and versatile.
There are apps for Linux, Windows, Mac, Android, and iOS.
Is anyone else currently using Tailscale? I’d like to hear what you all think.
I took a quick look and it says it has a free option for individuals with practically everything unlocked, what’s the point of that? It’s a trick I guess?
According to them it’s a way to get individual enthusiasts on board who will then get their workplaces to adopt Tailscale.
“In capitalism we call this a win/win deal. You get free stuff. You enjoy it. You tell your boss. Your boss gives us money (eventually). And nobody’s personal information got misplaced along the way. You did pay us—by talking about us.” https://tailscale.com/blog/free-plan/
It’s not a trick at all. They want personal users to use it on the chance they then introduce it to work.
They are a very positive company that supports the FOSS community. It is a great product.
You only get 3 users with the free version
how many do you want? I only use 1 and have 4 networks with multiple subnet routers in failover in each network.
Anyone like me, one or two is fine. If you’re a business, that won’t be sufficient.
Fair enough.
