Tailscale is not just a wrapper around Wireguard, as some people imply in the comments. The codebase is far bigger, and it does far more. They are different products.
What Tailscale does is difficult to do with Wireguard: Easy VPN, SSO with MFA, key distribution, static private IP for each node, peer to peer direct connectivity, split tunneling, fine grained access control rules down to per port and application, Wireguard over TCP, NAT transversal for devices behind firewall, central management, sharing nodes with others, DNS, file sending, routing rules (with exit nodes, subnet routers, “via”), key rotation, …
Wireguard connects peer A to peer B, and its simplicity stops there.
I found Tailscale to be a very good tool, that I extensively use.
My only concern is: what happens if their infrastructure is compromised at some point, like Okta’s? Assuming I have tail lock enabled.
