Comment on Friendly reminder that Tailscale is VC-funded and driving towards IPO
gravitywell@lemmy.ml 2 weeks agoI’m curious what kind of a use case you can think of that “traditional wireguard” can’t replace tailscale for.
Tailscale has a maximum of 3 users on their free tier, so it seems like a super limited use case of people who DIY their own servers for Jellyfin or HomAssistant or whatever, but just a tad too lazy to setup their own Wireguard service in addition to whatever it is they’d be using it for… I think the vast majority of free tailscale users have simply never actually tried wg-easy , because if they did they wouldnt need to use a third party service.

Big difference in users and devices here. Tailscale might have a 3 user limit, but you can add up to 100 devices for free. So for me for example I have tailscale running in each and every docker container in my NAS. So each and every container can now act as a node on my tailnet. Users isn’t a big deal, any one node can activate funnel with a simple command and poof its available to the public. The convenience coupled with simplicity is what makes Tailscale so god damn good.

Can you segregate connections between different nodes on the tailnet, like say node G and H can only talk to each other and no other nodes?

Not sure, not tried that as that’s outside my use case. But I would assume its possible with ACLs!
