Tailscale: A modern replacement for Hamachi

Tailscale is presented as a modern evolution of Hamachi, building upon its foundational concepts to create a more advanced and secure networking tool. While Hamachi allowed users to connect devices for gaming and file sharing, Tailscale enhances this by integrating identity verification through identity providers, allowing for more precise access control and security. Unlike Hamachi's reliance on network numbers and limited control over user permissions, Tailscale uses access control lists and identity-based memberships to manage access more effectively, addressing potential security risks and conflicts. Tailscale also offers broader platform support, including open-source components and the ability to self-host its infrastructure. By utilizing a private address range and supporting numerous operating systems, Tailscale ensures stable IP addresses and connectivity across diverse devices. Its versatility extends beyond basic networking, facilitating collaborative environments for sharing applications and services among colleagues, friends, and family.
