Announcing session recording for Tailscale SSH in beta

Tailscale has introduced a beta version of session recording for Tailscale SSH, allowing users to record terminal outputs during SSH connections within their tailnet. This feature enhances security by helping to detect threats, investigate incidents, and ensure compliance with network policies. The recordings are encrypted and saved in asciinema format, streamed to a dedicated recorder node within the user's tailnet to maintain data privacy. Users can deploy these nodes as Docker containers using an auth key, and recordings can be stored on the file system or in S3-compatible object storage services for resilience. The feature, designed with privacy in mind, is available on Tailscale's Free and Enterprise plans, replacing an older local SSH logging system, which will be supported until at least August 1, 2023.
