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.

All of a sudden someone they're broke the VPN On Demand. It never Automatically connects. I have to go in and manually do it. What's more, the widget That it is disconnected. I used to believe in this product to look elsewhere. I think the developers are slacking off.

Love it very much,but why can’t I sign in on iPad ?Are there some bugs?

The app will forget all your WiFi network SSIDs that you allow/blacklist if you temporarily disable VPN on demand. That’s really dumb and punishes troubleshooting.

This is my first ever app store review. It solved a major problem I have, I am able to use my home IP address while traveling.

На удивление работает очень даже хорошо, но на iOS сильно не хватает раздельного туннелирования трафика, которое есть на android. Очень нужно.

Love tailscale, but the battery drain is insane on iOS. Charge the phone to full at night, leave it doing nothing and less than 8 hours later it’s at half change. Disable tailscale and this doesn’t happen

Super useful app/service, connect to your pc from anywhere as if you were on the same network, main issue is battery drains like crazy when it's on.

Workaround is to use shortcuts, have it turn tailscale on when the apps you use with it are open, turn it off after the app is closed. Issue with that is no server monitoring widgets work, you have to have the app open.

Installed this on my Mac, four iPads and iPhone and it’s working perfect. Great app and software

Was a monster to initially setup but with a solid Traefik layer it works a treat both on and off Tailnet while at home.

I have had little to no real issues with Tailscale the battery drain is insane but I personally cannot think of o better way to fit that.

Tailscale is an amazing service for securely accessing services on my home network while on the go. I use it on both my phone and laptop. I have a few small issues with the app.

The battery drain is a little ridiculous which deters me from using it on my phone.

Additionally the VPN on demand settings are fantastic, except for when I have a one off use case where I want to ignore them. I should be able to turn the VPN on and off as I please and have it override the VPN on demand settings. And when I turn off VPN on demand for these one off situations, my settings should be saved. It’s very frustrating that they are lost as soon as the app isn’t the primary one open.

If these issues could be resolved, easy 5/5.

So easy to set up and works flawlessly ✌️

the many countless amounts of time i have foolishly wasted upon pleasing my needs and pleasures, spiking and burning up the systems of dopamine, increased aggressiveness and lack of self-respect i have brought upon myself when i am not near the supposed ‘tavern’. the many amounts of devices i took with me, for the sake of convenience to watch the text flow by in each prompts typed, waiting for a satisfying response. the many sins i committed that pushes me away from Him, He fears his creation and cries in anguish for every hour spent on the amounts of lust. it sickens me to watch the memories flow. regrets and pain “just wanting to be silly”. i am a stain, i am destined for the deepest layers of inferno. 5 stars tho, because this was good for that one time someone recreated flappy bird on node.js and i used this app to let me play it on my phone.

I love this app and the VPN, but I can’t effectively automate the enabling/disabling of my exit node on my devices (especially this app). If you all added on-demand functionality for exit nodes like you did for the VPN, that would be awesome!
snifflepig • May 20, 2026 ★ 5
I use this with my home based Pi-Hole DNS server, and to secure and lockdown my home server, paired with a mullvad exit node this service is incredible. I have noticed some increase in battery drain but that is to be expected. It’s not over the top in any way. My wife hasn’t noticed anything on her device.
