Tailscale Reviews Summary
Author infoRatingReview Summary
DevOps Engineer at a consultancy with 1-10 employees4.0I use Tailscale for secure, flexible access to client Kubernetes clusters and hybrid cloud environments, valuing its stability and time-saving benefits over traditional VPNs. My key concerns are the login issues when switching between multiple tailnets, the ACL format, and its higher price for smaller teams.
Freelance Web Developer and IT Support Specialist at a tech services company with 1-10 employees4.0I use Tailscale for easy, secure remote access to my home lab across all devices. Its simple setup, great features like Exit Nodes and MagicDNS, and stability make it preferred over WireGuard. The free tier is excellent, saving me significant time.
Software engineer4.5I use Tailscale extensively for my home lab and work, loving its Zero Trust features, file sharing, and secure access to self-hosted services. The free tier and Mullvad integration are great. However, control server speed and Linux UI support need improvement.
IT Support Engineer at a security firm with 11-50 employees4.5I use Tailscale with Headscale for remote access and device management, finding it faster and easier than ZeroTier. Its web interface and network connectivity are vital, though I wish for better troubleshooting. I highly recommend this stable, scalable solution.
IT Support / Sysadmin4.5I use Tailscale for fast, reliable remote access to my church's doorbell, servers, and homelab, praising its ease of use and security. My main wish is for anti-censorship protocols like VLESS to bypass deep packet inspection.
Application Security Engineer at a tech vendor with 501-1,000 employees5.0Tailscale is an easy-to-use, reliable VPN for my home network, leveraging MagicDNS and subnet routing. It's stable, saves me time compared to OpenVPN, and works great, though Linux UI support could improve. The free tier is excellent.
Field Service Engineer at a tech services company with 51-200 employees4.5I use Tailscale daily to connect all my devices to my media server and as a DNS. It's incredibly simple to set up, stable, and scalable with 20 devices. Support is great, and I find it perfect for my needs, strongly recommending it.
Software Engineer4.5I've used Tailscale for several months to securely restrict access to our AWS infrastructure via a private peer-to-peer VPN, appreciating its easy setup, robust ACL controls, and strong encryption, though free-tier limitations could be improved.
