@menelion @jcsteh @tailscale It lets you access servers/devices on different networks using a private encrypted link. So for example if you had Tailscale running on your laptop and on a NAS on your home network, you could interact with files on your NAS from a coffee shop network over a managed encrypted connection. You can do more with it obviously but that is my simple intro.

@menelion It is a VPN, but P2P and cloud-managed at the same time. You can create a network and add devices there. They don't need a dedicated VPN server. They'll be using a coordination server and when possible will try to connect directly to each other over WireGuard. In case they don't they use relay(s). So it's similar to ZeroTier, but: Uses WireGuardBlocks users from Russia and maybe some other contries Or if you need similar cloud-free option examples: TincEdgeVPN In other words: cloud-managed mesh-networking on Wireguard. @jcsteh @tailscale
