What is Tailscale?

Tailscale is a ZERO config VPN that provides end-to-end encryption, using WireGuard’s technology.
And not only that, they added peer-to-peer technology to the mix, so you don’t have to worry about port redirects, firewalls, and stuff like that. It just works.

How to install it

Open your Home Assistant instance and show the dashboard of a Supervisor add-on.

You can use this button to start the setup process. It will open the add-ons page in Home Assistant.

Use it on your phone
