Hello 2021!

Tailscale, a zero-config VPN, experienced significant growth and development in 2020, transitioning from a prototype to a fully operational service that simplifies peer-to-peer connections through innovations like rewritten peer discovery and NAT traversal logic, as well as DERP relay servers for challenging network scenarios. The company expanded its team from three founders to over 20 employees globally and secured $15 million in funding, allowing for continued improvements and the rollout of features like MagicDNS and an Android app. Notable community contributions included guides for running Tailscale with Jellyfin, Ansible, k3s clusters, and Pi-Hole DNS routing. Looking forward, Tailscale plans to introduce a public sharing feature, a new API for network automation, support for IPv6, and default route capabilities, indicating an ambitious agenda for the upcoming year.
