"Effortless Remote Access for Home Networks"

4/5

What do you like best about Tailscale?

Being able to install it on my Mac mini (home server of sorts) and use the subnets to be able to access my routers, and generally act like Im at my house, while away. Also this works for my NAS, I can not remove any exposure to it from the internet, and allow only LAN access, which allows me to access it remotely with TS. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What do you dislike about Tailscale?

Tailscale is good for small “home scale” networks. I find it very cumbersome for large scale networks (eg at production scale networks) where you have to want to do more advanced stuff like DNS routing, granular ACLs, etc. Some of it is technically possible with Tailscale but it is very cumbersome and doesn’t scale well. For personal use, I think netbird and zerotier to be functionally similar and different pros/cons. Review collected by and hosted on G2.com.

What problems is Tailscale solving and how is that benefiting you?

I am not any sort of network guru. I just wanted to be able to access my home Linux box remotely with a laptop or tablet. Getting this set up using ddns and port forwarding through the cable box was getting to be a pain. Maybe I'm just not smart enough. I read about tailscale and a couple of YouTube videos I decided to give it a try. Couldn't have been easier. Now it's two desktops, two Amazon fire tablets, and a Linode instance later...
