Streamlined Local VPN Setup, Needs Better Connectivity
What do you like best about the product?
I really like how Tailscale is simple to use. It’s straightforward with a Mac desktop, where you just plug in your credentials and the client's credentials, and you’re good to go. The software has simple installations and clear guides. The setup was really easy with the documentation provided, and everything went smoothly.
What do you dislike about the product?
Sometimes it might be a blocker, I would say. You might be blocked out every now and then. For example, maybe they have some caches, so they keep your credentials locally for around forty-eight hours or seventy-two hours, so you might be logged out. Network isolation or something needs to be taken care of. That could be improved for better connectivity.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Tailscale allows me to work locally without the need for commercial VPNs, solving connectivity issues by enabling local setup.
Effortless Remote Access for Home Networks
What do you like best about the product?
Being able to install it on my Mac mini (home server of sorts) and use the subnets to be able to access my routers, and generally act like Im at my house, while away. Also this works for my NAS, I can not remove any exposure to it from the internet, and allow only LAN access, which allows me to access it remotely with TS.
What do you dislike about the product?
Tailscale is good for small “home scale” networks. I find it very cumbersome for large scale networks (eg at production scale networks) where you have to want to do more advanced stuff like DNS routing, granular ACLs, etc. Some of it is technically possible with Tailscale but it is very cumbersome and doesn’t scale well. For personal use, I think netbird and zerotier to be functionally similar and different pros/cons.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
I am not any sort of network guru. I just wanted to be able to access my home Linux box remotely with a laptop or tablet. Getting this set up using ddns and port forwarding through the cable box was getting to be a pain. Maybe I'm just not smart enough. I read about tailscale and a couple of YouTube videos I decided to give it a try. Couldn't have been easier. Now it's two desktops, two Amazon fire tablets, and a Linode instance later...
Experience using TailScale
What do you like best about the product?
probably that is not that complicated to use, once you get the context its pretty straight forward
What do you dislike about the product?
probably the process of disconnecting, its always turned on and sometimes you do not need the VPN as youll probably be doing other tasks that do not require VPN
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
probably the access to the company's systems, with a secure network to make sure that we comply with the security standards
Easier to use and easier to set up

It's fast, straightforward, and lightweight. Easy to implement as well.

Nothing comes to mind. It's very smooth so far in my team.

Stupidly Simple Setup!
What do you like best about the product?
I thought that a WordPress installation was Stupidly Simple. I was ready to spend a few hours learning the TS (TailScale) dashboard and it's implementations. I think that I'm all of 15 minutes in and have 4 devices already connected.
For the devices such as my managed switch that don't have a way to add the TS client it's ridiculously east to sub net to it through one of my NAS's or PC. I can't seem to find anything negative to say about my experience so for. I'll be curious as time goes by to see if I'm ever connected to the DERP server. Great job TailScale team!

What do you dislike about the product?
I can't seem to find any at this time to report.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Protecting my whole network from bad actors.
Easy to use VPN for humans and machines
What do you like best about the product?
Tailscale is incredibly easy to set up and in almost all cases just works. The ACLs allow fine grained control between users and devices, regardless of where they live on the network, which massively reduces the admin burden of maintaining IP lists and allows security teams audit who has access to what and apply the principle of least privilege.
The staff at Tailscale are very friendly and it's clear they want to build what their users want. The calls we have had with their teams have been very productive and it really feels like they value our feedback when deciding how to build features.

What do you dislike about the product?
A lot of Tailscale's features (e.g. magic DNS) are inherently tied to the tailnet DNS name, which can make integration with existing services more difficult. We'd love it if Tailscale integrated with our own domain name as this would make everything work transparently!
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Securely allowing access to our network from staff members, and between machines.
Granting access based on identity, rather than needing to trust based on location or IP address.

Perfect software, nice people
What do you like best about the product?
I can ssh into my raspberry PIs, or any other server, from any of my devices, and it's safe and simple.
What do you dislike about the product?
Minor nit: I wish they would alias admin.tailscale.com to https://login.tailscale.com/admin/machines
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Connectivity. Access control. Safety.
Best Tools for Multi-Cloud Network Integration
What do you like best about the product?
It scales effortlessly as your team or infrastructure grows. I also appreciate how powerful and flexible the access control policies are—you can define very granular permissions to suit almost any security need.
What do you dislike about the product?
Should improve a multi tailnet option to split environments.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
Tailscale solves the complexity of building and maintaining a secure, fault-tolerant VPN mesh. It makes it easy to connect devices across different networks without relying on traditional VPN infrastructure. This has been a big benefit by improving reliability, simplifying setup, and reducing the need for manual configuration or public IPs.
Absolutely wonderful
What do you like best about the product?
The best part about Tailsacle is being able to have devices talk to each other regardless of how they get their internet is indispensible.
What do you dislike about the product?
Tailscale doesn't allow for arbitrary WireGuard exit nodes. It would be useful to allow clients to connect to a WireGuard server while still being able to ping each other.
What problems is the product solving and how is that benefiting you?
When working in different environments, IP address might change. Tailscale gives each device a static IP and hostname so that programs like reverse proxies and whatnot don't have to be reconfigured every time.
