It’s also ludicrous how easy it is to setup. The website claims it takes minutes. It took minutes, but only because I sat there with it working trying to work out how I finished the config. After cursing the brevity of the documents I realised that they were complete and it was actually running. Total setup was less than 10 minutes, maybe even 5 minutes.

The steps are basically:

“Step 1: Sign up for an account

Step 2: Add a machine to your network

Step 3: Add another machine to your network”

I have never used anything in my whole career that was as easy to set up as Tailscale. It is terrifying.

How does it pass your firewall? Is it through the client for each machine?

Tailscale adds a layer of NAT traversal logic on top of regular WireGuard, so in most cases you end up with p2p WireGuard tunnels between your devices, as if the NAT wasn't there. https://tailscale.com/blog/how-nat-traversal-works/ has the gory details, it's less easy than I just made it sound :)

Haha, thank you. Going to read that.

the setup is such a pleasure to use - they've really nailed the onboarding and are a great example for other startups
