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 like Tailscale but I wish you could make the Android app always default to using a certain exit node when it starts. You have to enable the tunnel them go into the menu and select an exit node every time. It’s a pain.
With my Wireguard client I can just start it with a shortcut and be running in a second or even default to always on with no interaction, but it won’t tunnel over https like Tailscale will to get around restrictive network firewalls that only allow outbound port 443.
