About this app

Securely connect people, workloads, and even AI agents to anything on the internet with Tailscale, the secure connectivity platform built on WireGuard®. Tailscale brings identity to the network layer so you can control access based on users, groups, tags, and devices instead of IP addresses, applying Zero Trust principles end-to-end across every environment.

Tailscale transforms your existing network from a legacy hub and spoke model to a modern, lightweight, and responsive mesh networking architecture that eliminates single points of failure and delivers better performance, scalability, and security for your end users, devices, and remote resources.

Tailscale can be used for your Homelab VPN and connectivity, Business VPN, Workload Connectivity across clouds, Kubernetes clusters, regions, and environments, Privileged Access Management (PAM), Edge & IoT, CI/CD, and Securing AI – all on the same platform.

Replace legacy VPNs, connect workloads across on-prem and cloud infrastructure providers, power Zero Trust initiatives, and make remote access secure by simplifying software-defined networking and security operations. Modernize your home, your organization, and your enterprise networking at scale with Tailscale.

Tailscale is hardware-agnostic, so you can make decisions about your hardware independently from decisions about your network. Tailscale creates an overlay network, using your existing network, so you can incrementally deploy Tailscale without needing new network switches or to change your network architecture.

Tailscale works with 100+ technology integrations and dozens of identity providers, and is available on a wide range of operating system platforms, including Apple macOS, iOS, and tvOS, Windows, Linux, and Android. Securely connect from wherever you work.

Ratings and reviews

I can't emphasise enough how well tailscale works! I use it to connect to my remote synology. I have configured it in my router, so that all my devices can reach my synology seamlessly. It just works. And the Web portal has everything a service of this kind should have. It would be helpful to add all admin tools of Web portal to the app as well, but this is not a blocker. I don't remember the last time I was so enthusiastic about an app/service. Keep up the good work!

App has a nasty bug. It will not attempt to log me in. I cannot add an account. Here's my fix: turn on notifications in settings. Personally, I had a "connected" notification. If you see that, click "Disconnect" while in the app. It automatically pulled me to the login page and prompted me to connect my phone. 3 stars for me having to find a workaround. Will update in the future if fixed.

This app was great, but over the past week or so I've had issues where I can't connect to devices on my tailnet nor can I access web pages unless I turn the connection off. The only way it seems to get fixed is to restart my phone which is ridiculous since this happens every day or two. v1.102.3, should just let us rollback to an earlier version until they fix this mess.

What’s new

Changed: Go is updated to version 1.26.6.
Fixed: Tailscale refuses host-scoped IPv4 destinations at every point that acts on an unmapped 4via6 address. This fix addresses a security vulnerability described in TS-2026-011.
Fixed: When MagicDNS is disabled, unqualified hostnames are correctly forwarded to the configured nameservers.
Fixed: Resolved an issue where nodes with Tailnet Lock enabled on large tailnets would experience startup failures.
