by Tailscale Inc.
What you get
You can reach private resources securely without replacing your existing network.
With Tailscale, you can securely reach your home lab, work resources, or cloud workloads from wherever you work. You get a private network built on WireGuard that connects your devices and resources across locations, rather than relying on a traditional central VPN hub.
You can decide who gets access based on users, groups, device identities, and tags instead of managing access around IP addresses. This lets you give different people and devices access to the resources they need, whether you’re connecting a small home setup or infrastructure spread across cloud providers and on-site systems.
You can keep your current network hardware and add Tailscale gradually over your existing network. Support for macOS, iOS, and tvOS lets you connect your Apple devices, while integrations with identity providers let you use your existing sign-in system to manage access.
