What is Tunnelless?
Tunnelless allows you to connect your iPhone, iPad, or Mac to your private Tailscale network without needing to install a VPN profile. It uses a local SOCKS5 proxy so only its traffic accesses your private network.
Does Tunnelless require a Tailscale account?

How does Tunnelless differ from a traditional VPN?
