As in you rolled out an internal service for the whole company?!

Your devices will connect to each other peer-to-peer (even behind complex NATs) with no manual configuration, subject to ACLs you centrally manage. It just works.
People sometimes dismiss Tailscale as "just" a WireGuard orchestrator, but it's actually much more than that - From a product perspective, WireGuard is just an implementation detail.

It's a mesh VPN, so peers communicate directly without additional delay.
I opted for Netbird myself because Headscale's UI felt too basic for me back then. Has that improved over the years probably?
