Tailscale Explained: What is an app connector?

Tailscale app connectors offer a solution for routing traffic through specific parts of your infrastructure, acting as domain-specific exit nodes that allow you to direct packets wherever needed, similar to split DNS but for routing. They enable scenarios such as routing traffic through a particular location to alter the perceived geolocation, as demonstrated by rerouting U.S. traffic via the UK to change the IP address visible to websites. App connectors facilitate various routing patterns, especially useful for services requiring traffic from known locations, and come pre-configured for applications like Salesforce, JIRA, GitHub, and Google Workspace. Users can explore the Tailscale documentation for setup details and start using app connectors through the Tailscale admin console.
