    They make the already great wireguard even better! Installation and configuration is a breeze, can easily connect to machines behind firewall(s) without altering anything.

    Definitely made life easier.

  • I have made a smalll NAS server using samba. What is the port to fwd to get to it externally
    Tailscale is another way of doing it. I'm using it to access my Pi's Samba shares from my phone but it works from Windows as well. Source: 5 months ago
  • Macbook air M1 used with Remote Desktop
    My recommendation would be to use Tailscale (https://tailscale.com/) so you don't expose RDP to the internet. The basic Remote Desktop Client will work but if you want something more complex, Remote Desktop Manager is great https://devolutions.net/remote-desktop-manager/. Source: 5 months ago
  • Enabling Remote Access
    You will need to go to their website Tailscale click the link or just go to tailscale.com. You will need to setup an account and then download the program and login to that once installed. Source: 5 months ago
  • Duck DNS
    Fond memories of using DDNS on old Netgear routers at home in the aughts and port forwarding services with some rudimentary firewall rules and tcpwrappers to try and lock down access. Now I use a combination of Tailscale[1] for private services only to me and Tailscale Funnels[2], and Cloudflare Tunnels[3] for public service exposure. This accomplishes the same thing I was doing with DDNS and my ISP IP, but in a... - Source: Hacker News / 9 months ago
  • Which overlay network?
    Tailscale: Seems to have quite good NAT support and seems to do DNS resolution. Clients for most relevant platform - a well rounded package. But I find their plans to be prohibitive. Only 20 devices on the free plan. The first paid tier is 5 devices per 1 user, so 5 devices for me paying? A head scratcher. There is an open source control plane https://github.com/juanfont/headscale but given the clients are not... Source: 10 months ago
  • How to edit my world when not at home
    The next best option, in my opinion, would be to use a mesh VPN technology like Tailscale (https://tailscale.com/). This technology will allow any devices that have the same software installed and configured upon them to talk to each other directly on a secure private network that runs over top of the Internet. It's user friendly, secure, and relatively easy to configure compared to some other options. If you... Source: 10 months ago
  • User-Friendly VPN Solution for AWS Hosting
    Haven’t gotten the chance to play with it but I’ve heard a lot of good things about tailscale https://tailscale.com. Source: 10 months ago
  • How can I allow access to my server from outside the network without reconfiguring the firewall?
    This should do what you're after: https://tailscale.com/. Your friends will need to install it too, and you'll need to share the server with them. Source: 10 months ago
  • I'm ROOT!

  • Pwnagotchi + Tailscale. Ditch the micro usb cable and SSH into your Pwnagotchi from anywhere securely.

  • Any alternative to the AWS VPN Gateway to get access to VPC?
    Tailscale seems like a similar thing, but the "router" is their SaaS offering with a free tier. Source: 10 months ago
  • Ads these days..
    I also set it up to where I can even use it on the go thanks to https://tailscale.com/. Source: 10 months ago
  • New to Keep large amount of Data and Need Advice!
    For a few TB of data you have many options. I use a Beelink Mini S12 with a 4TB SSD and a 2TB NVMe in it. It is powerful enough to run several services and stream photos and video to my phone, desktop, and TV (using an Amazon Fire Stick on the TV). I use Photoprism and Jellyfin for that. I access it remotely using Tailscale. It helps if you own a domain so you can setup SSL certs. I have devpl.us and home.devpl.us... Source: 10 months ago
  • How to make my Mac Mini storage server accessible from anywhere?
    You can also do this without messing with your router by setting up the VPN on your Mac and all client devices using something like Tailscale: https://tailscale.com. Source: 10 months ago
  • Completely redesigned Screen Sharing app in macOS Sonoma!
    I ended up installing a program called Tailscale, which essentially just creates a private, personal LAN in the cloud, completely free for personal use. So e.g. Once I've got it installed, by using MagicDNS I can just use "Connect to Server" from the Finder and type in the hostname for the target device, e.g. My Mac Pro has hostname towerofbssd. That works remotely and as far as I can tell quite seamlessly. Source: 11 months ago
  • Today my synology nas got attacked(god bless disabling the default admin account) and some buddies had the ssme thing happen today
    OP, put your Synology behind a service like a Cloudflare Tunnel or Tailscale. You got lucky this time. Source: 11 months ago
  • Anyone running a Plex server and using Google/Nest Wifi? I can't get a connection to my server when I'm away from home. Would love advice. Thanks

  • Network storage
    You and your friend could both install Tailscale and join the same VPN together. Then you could share a folder on your network and you can both access it. Source: 11 months ago
