Tailscale

Tailscale is a networking and security company that builds tools to create secure, simple connections between devices and teams. Its core product, also called Tailscale, is a networking solution built on the WireGuard protocol that provides end-to-end encryption. The company's stated aim is to remove the complexity traditionally associated with building trusted networks, making secure connectivity accessible to teams of any size.

The company operates as a fully distributed team with a presence in the United States, Canada, and the United Kingdom. Tailscale's technical work spans networking, security, encryption, and open-source software. The organisation maintains a culture that values small, focused teams, transparency in security practices, and a commitment to open source.

Tailscale's engineering philosophy emphasises that technology should function reliably without requiring constant adjustment. The company's product is designed to scale without proportionally increasing operational overhead. Privacy is treated as a foundational principle in both the company's products and its internal practices.
