I have been using Tailscale VPN with my servers for about 6 months now and I would recommend it to anyone.

I’m running it on both of my Proxmox machines, my laptop, a raspberry pi, and my Android phone. It makes it super easy and secure to access my local services while away from my house.

Very simple set up, minimal initial configuration, and versatile.

There are apps for Linux, Windows, Mac, Android, and iOS.

Is anyone else currently using Tailscale? I’d like to hear what you all think.

    I tried it, its great if you want to get started. or you want to run a vpn on a server that doesnt support wireguard. My main gripe with the client is that it can’t do high speeds, it’s just too cpu bound. Like going close to a gigabit transfer.

    With wireguard I was able to get to 98% gigabit transfer. It was fine for a month I was using it, in the end I just setup a wireguard mesh with Netmaker.

    There is headscale where you can run your own hosted central server, so you’re not using the tailscale one.

    In the end netmaker did what I wanted, however they tend to introduce bit of changes in their releases, so if you’re not super technical it might pose a challenege with upgrading until they reach a super stable version. Like jump from 0.10.X to 0.20 had some big changes for the whole netmaker internals. Bit that does not impact wireguard connectivity.
