The simplest way to explain Tailscale is that it’s a modern mesh VPN that allows you to create a secure, peer-to-peer network of Internet-connected devices that you can access effortlessly from anywhere for free. That boils Tailscale down pretty well, but it’s still a lot to unpack and doesn’t answer the question, “Yeah, but what does it do?”
I’m a big fan of Tailscale, but it has two big problems that can make it confusing. The first issue is also one of Tailscale’s greatest strengths: its flexibility. The service has several built-in features that are useful as standalone tools, which is a good place to start. However, the ability to connect a disparate collection of devices without regard for their operating systems opens up a vastly larger universe of possibilities that’s only limited by your imagination. That makes it incredibly powerful – but a lot to wrap your head around, too.
