The guy who wrote up the praise for Tailscale changed my life (alien.top)

I had heard of Tailscale, vaguely knew it was low-touch VPN, but I never bothered to look into it because I had Cloudflare tunnels and DNS/routing that I was satisfied with.

But that post here from a few days back got me to finally look into Tailscale.

And just - wow. I can't believe how dead simple this is. No more messing with cloudflare cli for tunneling. Easiest user management I could ask for. AND I can 1-click designate exit nodes?? So I can watch xfinity stream on my apple tv outside my home now??

I fucking love Tailscale.

Someone out there surely can relate to my first paragraph. If you are that person - this is your sign to go look into Tailscale NOW

Tailscale feels so fucking sketchy to me

And why would that be? They offer a generous free tier, because they earn their money with companies.

Feels like a rug pull waiting to happen tbh, but I also don’t like the idea of remote access to my network being ran through an organization that isn’t me

Probably feels too good to be true lol. I don’t actively use it but have got it setup as an option just in case I ever need local access to my network and it’s something I’m not hosting. I also use Cloudflare tunnel though so can do the same thing with that. Either way, options are nice.
