The guy who wrote up the praise for Tailscale changed my life (alien.top)

I had heard of Tailscale, vaguely knew it was low-touch VPN, but I never bothered to look into it because I had Cloudflare tunnels and DNS/routing that I was satisfied with.

But that post here from a few days back got me to finally look into Tailscale.

And just - wow. I can't believe how dead simple this is. No more messing with cloudflare cli for tunneling. Easiest user management I could ask for. AND I can 1-click designate exit nodes?? So I can watch xfinity stream on my apple tv outside my home now??

I fucking love Tailscale.

Someone out there surely can relate to my first paragraph. If you are that person - this is your sign to go look into Tailscale NOW

it’s not just wireguard, it’s wireguard with a built in set of relays and methods to defeat CGNAT. if you don’t want to deal with tailscale the company, just use head scale and host the control plane yourself.
