Reviews of Tailscale

  • Simple and secure

    Excellent performance with my home Linux server acting as an exit node to my home network. It just works and even has a kill switch if connectivity suspends. Was very easy to setup
  • The network seems less stable recently

    Twice in the last few days I had to disable the app to get bits flowing into and out of my phone. The second I did everything worked fine. Last time I just disconnected the exit node but that didn’t help.

    If it’s not reliable I won’t use it.
  • Great on Vision Pro but Missing Dark Mode User Setting

    Feature request: Add an app settings for theme with three options: Light, Dark, System Setting. Tailscale uses system preferences to toggle dark mode. Unfortunately, visionOS doesn’t have this setting so the app defaults to light mode.

    Other than this minor gripe, Tailscale is amazing. I use it to remote into my home computers from anywhere in the world and with an exit node, I can access all of my favorite streaming apps.
