I don't know whether I'm knowledgeable enough for Tailscale, but I'll give it a try. Thanks.
Thanks for that explanation. I have seen references to Tailscale forever and even looked at the official web site... And you explained it better than they did.
Thanks for the clearest explanation of Tailscale I've read.
How is this different from a VPN provider? Both are breaking out from a node in the country where you want to consume your media. Only one is used by 1000's, one is used just by you.
Not dissing tailscale or anything. But just curious from a technical pov.
Commercial VPN-providers IP-addresses are known, and easily identified by things like the amount of traffic coming from them.
A single user connecting from a residential IP's indistinguishable from legitimate traffic.
Interesting write-up. But I wonder e.g. what the benefit over this would be over using Wireguard? It's easy enough to set up on a UK router and then with a tap of the button you're sending requests via your personal VPN to UK to the internet.
Tailscale is wireguard but even easier.
