About this app

Securely connect to anything on the internet with Tailscale. Built on WireGuard®, Tailscale is networking technology that enables you to make finely configurable connections, secured end-to-end according to zero trust principles, between any resources on any infrastructure. Tailscale brings identity to the network layer, so that you can control access based on user identity, not only IP address. This gives you the power to intuitively and flexibly define which users should have access to which services based on existing user identities, as well as groups, services, and subnet ranges.

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.

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. Deploy a zero-config VPN, securely access resources on any infrastructure, unlock developer workflow networking, and modernize 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 it 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.

Ratings and reviews

Disclaimer: This is a rating of the Tailscale Android App, not the VPN service or product as a whole (a VPN review is an easy 6 stars anyways) This app is fine, it works smooth and has a nice simple and clean UI. I just wish I could access the Tailscale Admin Console and all of the related menus from the app. It's a royal pain in the butt to have to get redirected to a page in Chrome and navigate it on a touch screen. Other than that I have no complaints.

I added stars b/c of quick response of admin team. Deleted app, restarted phone, Updated app. I do not receive the prompt to install VPN configuration. Option to connect is grayed out. I'm signed in w/GitHub. Settings in tailscale app same as other devices. No other active VPNs. Still can't connect. App works great on all other devices. I just wanted to work again on this device because this is the device I take everywhere.

The recent update is much needed!!!! It fixes many problems that existed in the previous Android version. However, if I allow LAN access, things get very wonky. That did not happen in the previous version. I'm going to disable that until LAN access is improved. I am running 1.66.3.

What's new

- New: AuthKey system policy can be used to authenticate a device with Tailscale using an MDM solution.
- Fixed: Device network change detection is improved to reflect accurate Tailscale DNS configuration updates.
- Fixed: System policies for the Android client on ChromeOS work as expected.
- Fixed: Tailnet Lock long rotation signatures are truncated automatically to avoid excessive growth.
- Fixed: Log In option in the client works as expected.
