This is my regular announcement that you need Tailscale in your life. I’m here in Korea on my iPhone but I’m watching Netflix using my Synology NAS back in Oregon as an exit node. Absolutely rock solid personal free VPN *and* amazing for teams and developers as well. Magical.

@shanselman
I can absolutely see the use for teams and companies, but as a "personal VPN", it seems a bit pointless.
My router already lets me set up WireGuard tunnels, and for "pretending to be at home" (or generally securing access from a public network), this seems easier than running Tailscale.

@aserraric @shanselman needs to be coupled with a dyndns setup though.

@ssg @aserraric Tailscale is wireguard. https://tailscale.com/compare/wireguard
WireGuard® vs. Tailscale | Which is Better for You?

Compare WireGuard® vs. Tailscale to find which is best for connecting devices behind NATs and firewalls, IoT devices and policy management needs.

@shanselman @[email protected] yes, but router setup wireguard doesn’t need individual clients to be installed on each node, AFAIK.

@ssg Yes, they mentioned that in the link. It all comes down to how much effort do you want to put into it

@shanselman that’s why i prefer router-based wireguard. most effort goes into dyndns setup. tailscale is obviously more capable in many aspects but maintaining clients on every node feels like more work to me. depends on the use case, of course.
