Tailscale is a Zero Trust identity-based connectivity platform that connects remote teams, multi-cloud environments, CI/CD pipelines, Edge & IoT devices, and AI workloads. It replaces legacy VPN, SASE, and PAM with a mesh overlay network built on WireGuard, using existing identity providers for authentication and ACLs for access control. It also offers Tailscale Services for assigning virtual IPs and MagicDNS names to resources, and Aperture for bringing AI usage into focus.
What it does
- Identity-based Zero Trust access to apps, data, and infrastructure
- Business VPN for secure remote access to apps and data anywhere, replacing legacy VPN
- Privileged Access with auditable access to SSH, Kubernetes, databases, and more
- Infra access directly to infrastructure without bastions
- Connects remote teams, multi-cloud environments, CI/CD pipelines, Edge & IoT devices, and AI workloads
- Connects SaaS and third-party apps without public exposure
- Tailscale Services assigns virtual Tailscale IPv4 and IPv6 address pairs (TailVIPs) and unique MagicDNS names to logical resources, manageable via Tailscale API or admin console
- Securing AI brings AI usage into focus with Aperture
- Zero Trust networking enforces least privilege with identity-based access
- Mesh overlay network bridges hybrid environments across clouds or on-prem
What sets it apart
- Replaces legacy VPN, SASE, and PAM with a single identity-based platform
- Built on WireGuard with end-to-end encryption; Tailscale cannot read your traffic and sees metadata, not data
- Your network remains available even if Tailscale's coordination server is down: once nodes exchange information, they can still connect
- Coordination server only collects and exchanges public keys; private encryption keys never leave nodes
- DERP relay servers do not log your data, and the code is open-source for verification
- Written in Go, using wireguard-go, to prevent a whole class of memory safety vulnerabilities
- SOC 2 Type II certified, with Latacora security audits available on request
- Tailscale Services assigns stable TailVIPs and MagicDNS names to resources that cannot run Tailscale directly, with API-driven automation
- Cross-platform and infrastructure agnostic; works in one or multi-cloud
- Cited outcomes include 1,000+ hours saved, 25x headcount growth without dedicated IT resources, and 90% reduction in internal support requests
- Installation takes minutes; integrations apply policies to teams at scale
