Tailscale is an open-source zero-configuration VPN and networking solution that makes it simple to create secure, private networks across devices by leveraging WireGuard under the hood. It lets users connect computers, servers, mobile devices, and cloud instances together with peer-to-peer encrypted tunnels without dealing with complex firewalls, NAT rules, or key distribution headaches. Instead of traditional VPN server infrastructure, Tailscale uses a coordination service to authenticate devices and exchange connection information, enabling automatic NAT traversal and minimal manual setup. The project includes a daemon (tailscaled) and a CLI tool that run on major operating systems, and it also forms the basis for the official clients on platforms like iOS and Android, though those have GUI wrappers not fully in this repository.

  • Zero-config secure networking with WireGuard
  • Automatic NAT traversal and peer-to-peer tunnels
