Origin Story

By Avery Pennarun & David Crawshaw & Brad Fitzpatrick

The Problem

Traditional VPNs were painful to set up and maintain. WireGuard was fast but required manual configuration. Tailscale automates the hard parts.

Building It

Founded in 2019. Built on WireGuard protocol. Grew rapidly among developers and self-hosters who love connecting their devices securely.

What It Means

Networking should be zero-config. If you can install an app, you should be able to create a secure network.

The Dream

To make private networking as easy and transparent as the internet itself.
