Earlier quoted context omitted.

Damn, in beta it was available to all plans. Maybe in the future they'll make it available for Starter and Personal plan too.

According to the post it’s available on Personal too.

But not for Starter. I wonder what's the reasoning of excluding only the Starter plan.

How does it compare with cloudflare's tunnels? [0] I have been using Cloudflare's cloudflared tunnels. It was great for tunneling ssh traffic behind firewalls. And it starts free. [0] https://developers.cloudflare.com/cloudflare-one/connections...

Clouflare Tunnels are generally used for http(s) traffic more so than SSH, this is just Tailscale's SSH offering.

The equivalent http(s) side of things from Tailscale would be Tailscale Funnel [0], although it's incomplete since you can't BYO domain to TS Funnel.

In essence, CF Tunnel = Tailscale Funnel w/ BYOD + Tailscale SSH

We use Tailscale quite heavily and the SSH feature. Along with many other features, it is great. However, the article doesn't mention pricing, which for me personally seems quite high at $18/month/user. [1] [1] https://tailscale.com/pricing

Which other vendors did you get quotes from? Genuinely curios. Ime they are very competitive on price compared to some others.

One of my former gigs used a competitor (also a startup) that was 2x the price and offered way less flexible setup but our “architect” rushed it bc of the way he was. Other more established competitors were even more expensive

It is quite clearly stated in both this announcement and the docs [1] that it is available for the personal (aka free) plan. Not sure why their pricing plan does not include any mention of it.

To encourage commercial users to upgrade and pay more I guess.

Cloudflare Tunnel can absolutely be used for more than HTTP(S): https://blog.cloudflare.com/ssh-raspberry-pi-400-cloudflare-...

Just gonna note this is still a thing https://ssotax.org/

And it also seems like its wrong (or outdated?), Given they offer "SSO with any IdP" on ALL plans, including the free (personal) one: https://tailscale.com/pricing

It says updated 2024-03-13 from source https://tailscale.com/pricing, but "SSO with any IdP" is in the Starter plan before that [edit: no, I'm wrong, it used to say "standard" not "any"]: https://web.archive.org/web/20240309045009/https://tailscale...

Are they talking about something different?

It's listed as available for the personal plan under "Compare Plans and Features" -> "Application Networking" on the pricing page
