Tailscale SSH

More easily and securely manage SSH connections

Tailscale SSH launched on June 22, 2022 with 126 votes, #249 of 3,005 launches that month and more than 90% of that year's launches. The site was still online in September 2026, 4 years on.

What it does

Tailscale SSH, now in beta, is a better way to establish SSH connections between devices in your Tailscale network, as authorized by your access controls, without managing ssh keys, and authenticates and encrypts your SSH connection using WireGuard.

Simplify SSH access with automated key management. Connect securely to any device without bastion hosts, manual rotation, or public exposure.

Manage SSH access across environments with zero-touch configuration and granular team controls. Trusted by DevOps and platform teams. Automate key creation, rotation, and expiration — no scripts, no spreadsheets, and no manual effort. Deploy SSH from any device and across operating systems. Answer an on-call emergency from anywhere. Enforce SSO and MFA with Okta, Google Workspace, or any SAML IdP. Every session is tied to the right user. Easily manage shell access to any Linux-based infrastructure and reduce the risk of mismanagement that comes with static SSH keys and manual sharing and rotation. Verify user identities against existing identity providers (e.g. Google Workspace or Okta) and…from tailscale.com

    ts-ssh solves a specific problem: accessing machines on your Tailnet from environments where you can't install the full Tailscale daemon (like CI/CD runners or restricted systems). It uses Tailscale's tsnet library to establish userspace connectivity, then provides a standard SSH experience. Works with existing workflows since it supports normal SSH features like ProxyCommand, key auth, and terminal handling. Some features that proved useful: • Parallel command execution across multiple hosts • Built-in tmux session management for multi-host work • SCP-style file transfers • Works on…

  • TailGuard – Bridge your WireGuard router into Tailscale via a container2025 · github.com · ▲150

    My elderly parents are behind a 5G connection in rural areas, and I help them manage their network from overseas. I found a reasonably priced 5G router that can do external antennas required for it to work, but the only reasonable ways to get access to it is either through OpenVPN or WireGuard, the latter of which is much more lightweight and preferred with the memory constraints of the device. The problem with WireGuard is that it requires handling key management oneself, and configuring the keys to every device you want to access it from. It also doesn't play nicely together with other…

    Hi HN, I’m a fullstack developer, and honestly, I’ve lost count of how many side projects I’ve worked on over the years. But one idea kept coming back to me: a different kind of email client. It first came to me in 2014: “What if we could handle emails more like conversations?” Every year, I’d revisit this concept in my “Build Notes.” Ten years later, no one had built exactly what I had in mind — so I finally decided to do it myself. That’s how Talanoa was born. I wanted something focused on people, not timelines. I was tired of marking messages as unread just to remember to reply later, or…

    I've seen some interests in (simulation) video games here on HN so I thought I'd share a short version of our story. More than 6 years ago, me and my friend from university were playing around with an idea of making a game we always wanted to play. We worked on it on weekends but the progress was quite slow, especially due to so many dead ends and wasted effort. Eventually however, we solidified our direction and decided to take the risk to resign from our well paid SWE jobs and work on it full time. It took more than a year but yesterday we have finally released it on Steam:…
