Version History of Tailscale

1.76.1

October 16, 2024

- Fixed: Improperly formatted SERVFAIL responses no longer cause DNS timeouts when using an exit node.

1.76.0

October 11, 2024

- Changed: Battery usage is improved when MagicDNS is enabled. The improvement comes from adjusting the timeout of DNS over HTTPS (DoH) for idle connections and requiring a TLS 1.3 handshake when establishing a connection with the DoH server. - Fixed: DNS settings no longer improperly set when keys expire or Tailscale stops. - Fixed: Clients lacking UDP connectivity no longer skip performing fallback latency measurements with DERP servers. - Fixed: Warnings no longer display unnecessarily. - Fixed: Tailscale connectivity on in-flight internet on airplanes (such as Alaska Airlines) no longer fails. - Fixed: Service-related processes no longer run unnecessarily when services are disabled on the tailnet. - Fixed: Error messages include explanations in addition to the HTTP status code.

Description of Tailscale

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’s macOS, iOS, and tvOS.

Reviews of Tailscale

Fairly good

The app is not bad. It does allow me to connect to my mesh, but I’m deducting a star for the inability to set the exit node. Literally spent hours trying to find something that is on every other device before deciding that they just don’t have the support for iOS. The docs would suggest that the feature is there, but we can’t find it.

Great Pomodoro App

Tailscale the service is great. Other apps are decent, though amateurish. But this iPadOS app just stinks. Every ten to twenty minutes you have to restart the connection. Sometimes many times before it starts working again. But it always shows its status as 100% so you restart, switch apps to verify, no joy, switch back, restart again, and again…

Very impressive

They really are doing things right, free, packed full of features, incredibly secure, minimalist, no ads, and supporting zero knowledge and decentralisation not dependent on their own servers. Superb.
