Tailscale

Tailscale develops a software-defined networking platform that simplifies the creation of secure private networks using the WireGuard protocol. Its solution enables devices to connect directly through peer-to-peer mesh networking, reducing latency and eliminating the need for traditional VPN configurations. The platform integrates with existing identity providers, allowing for streamlined user authentication and access control. Tailscale supports various operating systems, including Windows, macOS, Linux, Android, and iOS, and offers compatibility with cloud services and Kubernetes environments. The company emphasizes ease of use and scalability, catering to teams and organizations seeking straightforward network security solutions. Tailscale builds on top of WireGuard’s Noise protocol encryption, a peer-reviewed and trusted standard. Their vision is to remove overhead and complexity from this long tail of software and operational problems that people face every day.
