Sharing over Tailscale

Tailscale has introduced a new feature called Sharing, now in public beta, which allows users to securely and conveniently grant others access to devices within their private network without exposing them to the public internet. This feature is aimed at tech enthusiasts, friends, and companies who wish to share access to specific devices, such as dogcams or private Minecraft servers, with minimal security risks. Sharing works by generating invite links that allow only the invited user to connect to the shared device, with connections being encrypted and private. The feature has security measures in place, such as device-to-user shares, quarantined shared devices, and adherence to existing access control lists (ACLs). While currently in beta, with plans for further enhancements like MagicDNS integration and subnet sharing, Tailscale encourages users to explore the possibilities of Sharing, as evidenced by creative use cases during its private beta testing.
