About Tailscale

Tailscale is a software-defined VPN that facilitates secure connections between devices without the need to open ports or configure complicated rules. With this VPN, you'll turn your PC into a secure node within your private "tailnet", using the WireGuard protocol to encrypt all traffic and ensure that your communication is fast, private, and efficient.

Unattended Mode for constant availability

Tailscale includes an Unattended Mode that allows you to keep your equipment connected even if you haven't logged into Windows. This is especially useful if you want to access your computer via remote desktop, VNC, or expose services without someone physically using the session.

Secure state storage and recent improvements

Tailscale is a secure and robust tool that stores its state in %ProgramData% instead of in folders more vulnerable to being deleted during operating system updates, which prevents losing the setup or the machine key. What's more, the node key seal is stably enabled to maintain the encrypted state on disk.

Compatibility with WSL 2 for development environments

If you use WSL 2, you can install Tailscale directly in that environment. This gives you the flexibility of having a Linux node within your Windows environment, perfect if you're a developer wanting to use Linux tools without leaving the main machine. That said, there are some cautions about the network package size and configuration, so it's recommended that you follow the specific instructions to the letter.

A private network without manual network setup

One of the most notable advantages of Tailscale is that you won't need to open ports or touch your router's configuration: it automatically connects devices through NAT traversal, allowing them to communicate as if they were on the same local network, even if they are on different networks or behind firewalls. This will help you securely access your Windows computer from another device without complex external dependencies.

Download Tailscale for free and connect your machines as if they were on a local network, without the hassle of routers or complex configurations.
