- erdaniels 4y agoIt is! But the usual thing with Tailscale is that this just works out of the box. Any new person starting where I work has Tailscale installed by default. Once they log in, they can access any of our pis/servers that are setup with names like rpi1. Furthermore, you've got ACLs + Tailscale SSH. That means you can start day 1 and do ssh root@rpi1 and it just works. It's amazing and worth so much money. Edit: I just really wish they would allow more than being tied to Google SSO. I want to invite people outside of my domain easily :o)
- xena 4y agoI wrote a giant diatribe about this here: https://tailscale.com/blog/magicdns-why-name/ https://tailscale.com/blog/magicdns-why-name/ It's not just a DNS server, it's everything _around_ the DNS server.
- VTimofeenko 4y agoYeah, it's totally possible to configure a stack like that. I roll my own stack of unbound+nsd as adblocking split-horizon DNS for LAN, roaming and management WG network. Tailscale value prop as I understand it - they can manage this whole thing for you.
