Tailscale Peer Relays is now generally available

Tailscale Peer Relays, now generally available, offer a robust solution for maintaining secure and reliable network connections in challenging environments where direct peer-to-peer links are hindered by factors such as firewalls and NATs. These relays, deployable on any Tailscale node, have evolved from a workaround for network constraints to a production-ready option that enhances performance, control, and flexibility, particularly in cloud environments with strict endpoint restrictions. By integrating with static endpoints and offering improved throughput through vertical scaling, Peer Relays ensure high-performance connectivity even when automatic endpoint discovery is not feasible. Additionally, they enhance observability and auditability by integrating with Tailscale's monitoring tools, providing detailed metrics for tracking relay usage and detecting anomalies. Available on all Tailscale plans, Peer Relays maintain core Tailscale guarantees like end-to-end encryption and predictable operation while enabling scalable, resilient networking solutions.
