When a new user signs up for Tailscale with alice@example.com, they automatically join the same Tailscale network (tailnet) as everyone else @example.com. This makes it easy for small teams to get started with Tailscale. For more complex management of users in your organization, … | Continue reading
At Tailscale, we don’t want your users (or us) managing a separate list of usernames and passwords, which is why you must use single sign-on with an identity provider to create and manage your network. Until now, that meant you needed to choose from a handful of trusted identity … | Continue reading

A few months ago I was poking around the package contents of Tailscale’s macOS app when I happened to notice that the main Tailscale binary was surprisingly large — more than 37 megabytes. Some of the size is explained by it being a universal app — it includes both x86_64 (for In … | Continue reading
Developing software in an IDE like CodeSandbox requires access to many on-prem or cloud resources, from package and container image registries to databases.

Here are just a few highlights: We laun … | Continue reading
When setting up cloud infrastructure for your team, it often makes sense to provision sensitive services in private subnets. However, this usually means that those services are not easily accessible from your personal devices or CI/CD infrastructure. Tailscale already makes it po … | Continue reading
We’re pleased to announce that user & group provisioning for Okta is now generally available. You can sync group membership and deactivated users from Okta, and refer to a synced group as part of an access rule in your tailnet policy file.

Tailscale has recently been notified of security vulnerabilities in the Tailscale Windows client which allow a malicious website visited by a device running Tailscale to change the Tailscale daemon configuration and access information in the Tailscale local and peer APIs. To patc … | Continue reading
Tailscale lets you put all your devices on their own private tailnet so they can reach each other, ACLs permitting. Usually that’s nice and comforting, knowing that all your devices can then be isolated from the internet, without any ports needing to be open to the world. Sometim … | Continue reading

Tailscale is amazing. But you already knew that, right? There’s nothing more satisfying than being able to set up a secure network in seconds, almost like magic — except maybe realizing it’s Friday when you thought it was Thursday, but I digress. Being a relatively new product, T … | Continue reading
It’s been a BIG month at Tailscale and we’re excited to share several new features with you. First off, MagicDNS is now GA (human-readable DNS names for each device in your tailnet).

Today, we’re launching a web-based SSH client: Tailscale SSH Console. | Continue reading
If you’re managing and using Tailscale along with several other users, it’s hard to keep track of what changes get made, even with audit logs. For example, another admin might make an update, or an event that you need to react to could occur — such as a node needing authorization … | Continue reading
Naming products is hard. One of Tailscale’s key features, MagicDNS, has long been a source of armchair grammar controversy. To wit: Some people think we should call it Magic DNS because Apple calls their flagship keyboard and mouse the Magic Keyboard and the Magic Mouse. | Continue reading
Tailscale automatically assigns IP addresses for every unique device in your network, giving each device an IP address no matter where it is located. We further improved on this with MagicDNS, which automatically registers a human-readable, easy-to-remember DNS name for each devi … | Continue reading
Ever wanted to run your own DNS resolver but you don’t actually want to run your own DNS resolver because running DNS is fraught with pain? | Continue reading

The rewards will be reflected in your device limits on your Billing page. (Don’t wo … | Continue reading
When I was in college almost a decade ago, I lived on the computer science floor of my dorm. It was quite possibly one of the most interesting places I’ve ever lived. It was full of nerds, and we had file shares and LAN parties every weekend. While I was there, I got introduced t … | Continue reading
