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

    I saw this guy’s post and didn’t get it. Can you help change my life too? My understanding of tailscale is it’s an ephemeral OS. You take out the usb from your computer and it’s all gone. What’s the deal with the VPN? Why can’t I just use a DigitalOceam instance with wireguard running on it?

      You’re thinking of Tails, the operating system. Tailscale is something different.
