Tailscale

Tailscale builds a secure networking platform that creates trusted, encrypted connections between devices and infrastructure. The product is built on WireGuard and uses end-to-end encryption, so that Tailscale itself cannot see user traffic. Its stated aim is to remove the overhead and complexity of building secure networks, with a design that scales with user needs without scaling operational overhead. The company works in the fields of VPN and secure networking, zero-trust networking, network security, privacy engineering and open source software.

Its customer base ranges from individuals using the product for personal device networking, such as sharing family photos, to multinational corporations securing infrastructure. The company operates across the networking and connectivity, cybersecurity, consumer and enterprise infrastructure sectors.

Tailscale is a small, fully remote team spread across three countries: the United States, Canada and the United Kingdom. The company holds that small, excellent teams produce better outcomes than massive ones, and that technology should work without constant fiddling. Its stated product philosophy is that networking should be safe, understandable and practically invisible, and it is committed to open source software and transparent security practices.
