Tailscale Reviews Summary
Author infoRatingReview Summary
System Engineer at Idkatar4.0I find Tailscale excellent for secure, zero-trust remote access, greatly simplifying operations and reducing VPN overhead. Its setup is easy, but I wish for better enterprise visibility, monitoring, and more flexible pricing.
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.
Student at Auburn University4.5I've used Tailscale for years for personal and work, appreciating its easy setup for bypassing network restrictions, securing game servers, and quickly creating VPNs. It saved me significant time. I believe enhancing the free version would further expand its user base.
Independent Consultant4.5I rely on Tailscale for easy, reliable remote access and client support, appreciating its transparent key management and stability, which greatly reduced connectivity issues. A self-hosted control plane option would further enhance its value.
