A conversation started with:
“Is there an AirDrop for Windows?”
My answer was Tailscale, though that undersells it a bit.
What I like most is that it replaced several annoying parts of remote access for me:
• less messing with port forwarding
• less dealing with unreliable sync tools
• less thinking about network setup in general
Now I mostly just connect to the machine I need, by name, and keep moving.
I wrote up how I use it here:

@tayarndt I’ve heard of this for years, but I really need to start playing with it now that I will have more machines. Thank you. As always, your article was very well written and informative.

@technocounselor @tayarndt Yes this is awesome and unwound the complexities of Tailscale for me somewhat. There's still quite a bit that I wouldn't necessarily need but it sounds customizable enough that I can disable what I wouldn't need and some things sound like from your article that they're not even on by default.

@GamingWithEars @technocounselor @tayarndt I use it for accessing stuff when I'm not home, I haven't fully put everything on ts yet, I'm still working on the remote stuff, mapping out exit nodes, etc. but it's a fun thing. I might actually pay the $6 for it.
