Tailscale Funnel now available in beta

Tailscale Funnel, now available in beta, allows users to share a web server on their private tailnet with the public internet by providing a DNS name tied to their node, which becomes publicly accessible when enabled. This tool securely forwards public internet requests to the user’s service via a Tailscale tunnel without Tailscale seeing decrypted packets, as all connections require TLS encryption with certificates automatically provisioned. Improvements since the alpha release include enhanced DNS handling, optimized CLI commands for better user experience, and the separation of Funnel into its own command. Users can easily enable Funnel by pointing Tailscale to their local server and using simple commands to turn it on or off. The update process for public DNS records has been streamlined, and the system now efficiently routes requests to the nearest ingress server. The beta phase welcomes user feedback and insights into how Funnel is being utilized, aligning with Tailscale's commitment to user privacy and secure connectivity.
