> tl;dr: Tailscale is awesome, give it a try if you use WireGuard® often!
|
||||
|
||||
WireGuard® was something that I have been using a lot from the time it was yet to merge in linux kernel, and it was great, had a lot of improvements over my old OpenVPN Setup.
|
||||
|
||||
WireGuard® is great and I have never been thrilled with the quick and easy setup with few configurations here and there, but when the number of servers/peers are increasing it is harder to manage.
|
||||
|
||||
# Enter Tailscale!
|
||||
|
||||
I was watching this service for a while and it was a great concept, plus coming from the people I follow, [@bradfitz](https://twitter.com/bradfitz) and [@davidcrawshaw](https://twitter.com/davidcrawshaw).
|
||||
|
||||
The major takeaway is the automation and simplicity. Before using WireGuard® in production I tried it for a year and when I was confident enough I rolled it out to the users, and I am hoping to do the same with Tailscale once I see if it's feasible to replace our current VPN workflow.
|
||||
|
||||
## Advantages
|
||||
|
||||
* Quick sign-up and getting started [doc](https://tailscale.com/kb/1017/install/)
|
||||
* Easy to use command-line utility
|
||||
* Packages are available for most of the distributions and platforms
|
||||
* Raspberry Pi plus Arch Linux.
|
||||
* Feature Rich (and they are configurable!)
|
||||
* DNS
|
||||
* Management
|
||||
* ACL (not tried though...)
|
||||
* VPN (ofcourse...)
|
||||
* and so on...
|
||||
* Nice [Explanation](https://tailscale.com/blog/how-tailscale-works/).
|
||||
|
||||
I remember that previously it took me a couple of days to setup an exit-node on WireGuard® work properly and in Tailscale it took me about half-hour.
|
||||
|
||||
## My bad
|
||||
|
||||
Despite of all the advantages I ran into few problems when trying out the
|
||||
tunnels on various devices.
|
||||
|
||||
I connected 4 devices, and all of them are running without errors but when I tried to
|
||||
create a configuration for exit nodes and using one of them somewhere else,
|
||||
it created and issue.
|
||||
|
||||
Though it was my mistake that I created a Subnet and exit-node on the same device
|
||||
that could have led to that issue.
|
||||
|
||||
## Works perfectly
|
||||
|
||||
I didn't mention this previously but my laptop already had WireGuard® up and running with three peers across three different data centers, and I was running Tailscale without any problems. I had different routes for both so it worked.
|
||||
|
||||
The DNS was something I had to struggle with as I have a custom DNS setup in my local and had to use `tailscale up --accept-dns=false` to avoid breaking my configuration.
