Tailscale vs AxeSentry

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 integrates with 100+ technologies and dozens of identity providers, and is available on a wide range of platforms — including Apple’s macOS, iOS, and tvOS — so you can securely connect from wherever you work.

AxeSentry keeps an eye on your Bitaxe and NerdAxe / NerdQAxe miners so you don't have to. It talks to your devices directly over your home Wi-Fi using the AxeOS API — no account, no cloud, no data leaves your network. WATCH YOUR WHOLE SWARM • Live hashrate, temperature, power, best share and uptime for every miner • Swarm totals and a health timeline showing when devices went offline, ran hot or slowed down • List or grid view, with sorting by hashrate, temperature, best diff or name • A dead or stuck miner is pinned to the top in red so you spot it instantly ALERTS THAT REACH YOU • High temperature, low hashrate, new best share, block found and miners-offline alerts • Set global thresholds or override them per device • Mute for 4, 8 or 12 hours when you need quiet • A full in-app alert history logs everything — even alerts that fired while muted AUTO-RECOVERY • Automatically reboot a miner that drops below its hashrate limit or rises above its temperature limit — up to three tries, a minute apart • Optionally undervolt and/or downclock an overheating miner on the third reboot to cool it down (with safe floors) • Every part of this is opt-in and configurable SOLO MINING, MADE FUN • Block-odds card estimates how often your swarm would find a block solo, using live BTC or BCH difficulty • A full-screen celebration with sound the moment one of your miners solves a block CONTROL EVERY MINER • Change pool, frequency, voltage and fan, or reboot and identify — per device • Or reboot all, set fans on all, and identify all from one Controls screen BUILT FOR YOUR DEVICES • Universal app for iPhone and iPad • iCloud sync keeps your miner list the same on every device • Home-screen widget and a Live Activity with devices online, on the Lock Screen and (optionally) the Dynamic Island • Best-effort background monitoring so alerts can reach you even when the app is closed PRIVATE BY DESIGN • Works only on your local network — your iPhone or iPad must be on the same Wi-Fi as your miners • No sign-up, no analytics, no tracking. Nothing is collected. Compatible with Bitaxe and NerdAxe / NerdQAxe miners running the AxeOS API.
