- bix6 1y agoIs there a tutorial you recommend?
- lambdaba 1y agoThere's a lot more to Tailscale but for a basic setup you just install the client on all your devices, and set DNS to the NextDNS endpoint. Any device on your network will automatically pick it up.

- vaxman 1y agoSo people with access to the TailScale control plane can easily add and remove devices from your network. https://youtu.be/bJHPfpOnDzg https://youtu.be/bJHPfpOnDzg

- lambdaba 1y agoYou don't strictly need it, it just makes it a tiny bit more convenient since you can set it up to override DNS on any connected device, and Tailscale sets up a private VPN mesh between your devices I've come to get take for granted - a tangential feature that goes well with centrally managed DNS.
