Despite what people say, absolutely. Tailscale's moat is the centrally deployed NAT traversal solutions built with an easy-to-use interface and (somewhat) friendly pricing model. At one point they wrote a blog post (looks to be deleted) basically saying that IPv6 and direct connectivity in general is 'bad actually' or something along those lines.
- jiehong 1y agoTailscale also goes through firewalls, not only NAT boxes. IPv6 won’t change firewall needs.
- hcfman 1y agoCan tailscale work when firewalls block outgoing udp from everywhere except the company web proxy server ?
- p_l 1y agoI think I actually have that in production somewhere, going through DERP always
- thunderfork 1y agoTailscale can work anywhere you can get an https connection... but it might not be fast, since the relays used for this have various limits.
