"Easy to use VPN for humans and machines"
5/5
What do you like best about Tailscale?

Tailscale is incredibly easy to set up and in almost all cases just works. The ACLs allow fine grained control between users and devices, regardless of where they live on the network, which massively reduces the admin burden of maintaining IP lists and allows security teams audit who has access to what and apply the principle of least privilege.

The staff at Tailscale are very friendly and it's clear they want to build what their users want. The calls we have had with their teams have been very productive and it really feels like they value our feedback when deciding how to build features. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Tailscale?

A lot of Tailscale's features (e.g. magic DNS) are inherently tied to the tailnet DNS name, which can make integration with existing services more difficult. We'd love it if Tailscale integrated with our own domain name as this would make everything work transparently! Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"Absolutely wonderful"
5/5
What do you like best about Tailscale?

The best part about Tailsacle is being able to have devices talk to each other regardless of how they get their internet is indispensible. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Tailscale?

Tailscale doesn't allow for arbitrary WireGuard exit nodes. It would be useful to allow clients to connect to a WireGuard server while still being able to ping each other. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

"The easiest private VPN I've ever used!"
5/5
What do you like best about Tailscale?

It is so easy to setup and use. Also, tailscale is very good at finding the shortest route between devices - giving it an edge over using a standard self-hosted vpn like OpenVPN or Wireguard. Additionally, tailscale allows you to "share" devices, this, in addition to the simple setup process, makes it an invaluable tool when doing troubleshooting for others. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Tailscale?

The IOS app needs some heavy improvement. As far as usability, the app works relatively fine, however it tremendously drains battery life. Also, in networks where 'tailscale.com' is blocked, the app will not connect - this is also an issue when using a desktop computer. The DERP servers should be implemented in a way that allows for connection around this method of blocking. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.
