About
Tailscale is a zero trust identity-based connectivity platform built on WireGuard that connects devices, servers, workloads, and services across remote teams, multi-cloud environments, CI/CD pipelines, edge devices, and AI workloads. It provides secure peer-to-peer connections, subnet routers and exit nodes, split tunneling, MagicDNS, ACLs, Tailscale SSH, Kubernetes ingress and egress, Kubernetes API proxy, Funnel, device posture, logging, and integrations with identity providers and MDM tools.
The free Personal plan is intended for non-commercial use and includes unlimited user devices, up to 6 users, up to 3 ACL groups, up to 50 tagged resources, and 1,000 minutes per month for ephemeral resources. It also includes access to nearly all features, with basic support, while paid plans add higher limits, SCIM, advanced roles, logging features, and platform extensions such as PAM, CI/CD connectivity, workload connectivity, IoT edge connectivity, and Aperture for AI governance.

Free Tier Value
Tailscale’s Personal plan is explicitly $0/free forever and includes up to 6 users, unlimited user devices, 3 ACL groups, 50 tagged resources, 1,000 mins/month for ephemeral resources, and access to nearly all features including SSH and Kubernetes. The cheapest paid plan is Standard at $8 per user/month, so the conservative free-tier value is $8/month (the lowest paid plan that expands the free cap, especially on users and ACL groups). There is also a separate 14-day business free trial, but the requested free-tier signal is based on the recurring Personal plan; no explicit no-credit-card claim appears in the provided text.
