Tailscale is a zero config VPN for building secure networks. Install on any device in minutes. Remote access from any network or physical location.

Tailscale SSH, now in beta, is a better way to establish SSH connections between devices in your Tailscale network, as authorized by your access controls, without managing ssh keys, and authenticates and encrypts your SSH connection using WireGuard.

I’m co-founder and CEO of Tailscale. I’ve been working in networking and security for pretty much my whole career, and SSH key management has been a pain the whole time. It only got worse with mobile devices, security keys, and ever more restrictive firewalls and NATs. Tailscale creates an instant link between all your devices anywhere in the world, authenticated with your Google/GitHub/etc identity. The new Tailscale ssh feature authenticates ssh the same way. I think you’ll like it!

This looks like a super helpful addition to your network security arsenal!

@chrismessina thanks so much for hunting Tailscale SSH, we're super excited to bring this to the Product Hunt community 🎉

I'm one of the very early users and use Tailscale for quite some time now, it feels like ages. Once you've got into it (which is one of the simplest things to do) you will love it. No doubt. I couldn't sell it my mother, but for you out here, who knows why a VPN is always nothing easy to set up, you definitely will never go somewhere else.

We 🖤 Tailscale because it let's us quickly spin up a LAN for our team to test with. It is just super good.

Super easy VPN tool to access my home network from everywhere on my phone or computer.

Performance was just terrible for me, even over Lan it regularly killed data transfer speeds from 80mbps to 2, between my pc and Synology drive, it seemed to route such transfers through the net so I constantly had to turn it off which seized up my Synology which required a reboot each time, such a waste of time and access was barely possible over the Internet, can’t even stream a video. So in the end it just did not work and my NAS now performs amazingly without it.
