What is Tailscale tunnel?

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.

Does Tailscale work as a VPN?

Tailscale is a VPN service that makes the devices and applications you own accessible anywhere in the world, securely and effortlessly. It enables encrypted point-to-point connections using the open source WireGuard protocol, which means only devices on your private network can communicate with each other.

What is the difference between Tailscale and WireGuard?

Tailscale and WireGuard offer identical point-to-point traffic encryption. Using Tailscale introduces a dependency on Tailscale's security. Using WireGuard directly does not. It is important to note that a device's private key never leaves the device and thus Tailscale cannot decrypt network traffic.

Is Tailscale VPN free?

Completely free, took minutes. The beauty of @Tailscale is that they enable people to make their own personal internet, for free in most cases.
