Tailscale
Overview
Secure mesh VPN built on WireGuard for private access to devices and services, useful for self-hosted AI agent stacks and tooling.
Best For Professions:
Tailscale is a secure connectivity platform that creates a private mesh network (“tailnet”) between devices and services using WireGuard as the data plane and a control plane for identity, key distribution, and policy. It’s commonly used by developers to give servers, containers, and services private, authenticated access without exposing ports publicly. For AI agent developers, it’s useful for securely connecting self-hosted agent runners, internal APIs, databases, vector stores, and automation tools across clouds and local machines. Tailscale includes features like ACL-based access policies, MagicDNS, device sharing, subnet routing, and exit nodes for routing traffic through a trusted device.

Some of the use cases of Tailscale:
- Giving self-hosted AI agents private access to internal services (databases, APIs, vector stores) without public exposure.
- Connecting cloud VMs, containers, and local machines into a single private network with identity-based access.
- Enforcing least-privilege access via ACL policies and readable DNS for internal services.
- Routing access to private subnets or outbound traffic using subnet routers and exit nodes.
