One thing of significance, to me, is that the devs building TailScale are heavy weight hitters/very skilled people in the tech industry, and are seemingly doing this startup out of pure nerd itch scratching. Hence you can expect really clean and well built stuff from them.

[SuperSpeed]

This is an absurdly high quality and easy to understand video explanation for an IT guy with a weaker networking background, great job!

[JosephJohnson-sqbu]

Love it, thank you so much. Would be awesome to see a ZeroTier bridging setup for remote branch deployment

[pieterrossouw]

Even if you only use it to play old-school LAN games with friends, tailscale is a killer experience because I could explain to my non techy friends how to set it up no problem. All they sent me is the authorization link.

[YugimanTeam]

Yes! I was hoping someone creditable would review tailscale. Thanks Lawrence!

[jsnjyn]

Network overlays. I dig it. This is the future.

I started with tailscale a few weeks ago, and decided to move over to Zerotier. I looked at Nebula but it seems like setting it up is well above my skill & knowledge levels.

After this video, I'd consider the user interface, reporting, setup and maintenance as more important. The video showed Zerotier as faster throughput (for whatever reason) but it wasn't as smoothly consistent on latency. Tailscale wasn't as fast (for whatever reason) but showed very consistent latency across the board. I'll probably look into the software that doesn't require me to punch holes and redirects into my double NAT.

[COASTER]

The first ping on ZeroTier always took ~1000ms while TailScale always seemed to be consistent. I wonder whether ZeroTier waits until communication begins to find the best route between the two while TailScale figures one out in advance, even if not quite as optimal for throughput. In some applications I could imagine that latency being a problem.

What a great video... your approach to testing these and with some added complexity to show the setup and how each of these solutions and how they could work was awesome. Concise, effective and efficient, thanks for your work.. I was totally considering Cloud Flare tunnels until I saw your TOS video on it then I watched a few other videos.. intrigued by zerotier and tailscale. I've used wireguard in the past but I think zerotier is definitely worth a look/try.

Love using Tailscale on SBC - and I love the easy share with other function.

[binnihh]

I was thinking about implementing Tailscale for my work but when it all adds up with the x amount of users it just costs way to much.
I will probably end up using Zerotier.

[oakfig]

Great video! This makes learning so much easier!!

*Tom puts out a zero tier video*
Dammit Tom! I have work I should be doing...

[lolololowbx]

Thank for the video tom! I would like to see you reviewing wiretrustee and netmaker too, thank before

[silverismoney]

Great video. I've been using ZT for a few years now and i wondered if I was missing out on not using tailscale. I was wondering if you've had a look at Headscale?

[pransis]

Had some issues with ZeroTier where sometimes my devices can't see each other. Same issues happened to my IT Staff when I asked them to try it. They said they had to add some firewall exceptions to make it work. I didn't get this issue on my end, though I had to disconnect and reconnect my devices to the ZeroTier network a few times to make it work. Now I tried Tailscale and it worked right off the bat. No issues so far.

[amosgiture]

Looking at Tailscale's route advertising and exit nodes. 2 points up over Zerotier 😎

So I have an app to watch tv from anywhere using a mobile device from my cable provider, but certain channels and recordings on my PVR only work if I’m connected to my home wifi. I’m thinking that connecting to a computer at home when I’m out and about via, Nebula, Tailscale, or Zerotier would allow me to get full functionality - which one would you recommend i go with for this one requirement?
