> Automatic handling of captive portal authentication Very curious about how they're pulling this off

Ugh. On mobile, the first plan on the pricing page is “ starter” for $6. The plan to the right is partly visible, indicating that you can scroll that way. There’s nothing to indicate that you can scroll left. A less hostile website design would have (again) saved me a question.
It seems like it defaults to Business, which is paid. If you tap "Personal" you'll see the free plan. Sorry, but try a little harder. Tailscale isn't hostile, but it seems you are -- you claim to think you need it, but don't know what it does and can't put in the effort to determine and foist those inabilities on Tailscale? I've been using Tailscale for many years now and they have a terrific product.
I never travel without my GL-AXT1800. Saved me so many times: https://www.gl-inet.com/products/gl-axt1800/ I’m actually on it right now.

I bought it for my vacations, so I wouldn't have to configure my kid's gadgets, but it is really useful as a wifi adaptor too.
And you can run it from a powerbank.

Is this any better than just doing Hotspot with wifi bridge? I just have my hotspot on my pixel for my devices to connect to. Pixel itself is connected to whatever "public wifi" is there.
Your hotspot just makes the untrusted hotel wifi available via your phone wifi. The networks between your computer and your target services can still inspect and alter your data. Tailscale, or more specifically the Wireshark underneat, sets up an encrypted tunnel so those "untrusted" intermediate networks can't do that.

Unifi shipping without eSIM support is a big mistake imo. I don’t want to have a 5g router(which are insanely expensive) or a second smartphone with 5G.
This won’t replace my GL-AXT1800 which offers a lot more flexibility. Unifi shipping without eSIM support is a big mistake imo. I don’t want to have a 5g router(which are insanely expensive) or a second smartphone with 5G.

Sign up for free using Google Sign In. Install the tailscale client on each of your devices. Each device will get an IP address from Tailscale. Think about that like a new LAN address. When you're away from home, you can access your home devices using the Tailscale IP addresses.
So basically wireguard, but you have to pay for it, and you have create an account through Google/Apple/Microsoft/whatever. Wireguard is not that hard to set up manually. If you've added SSH keys to your Github account, it's pretty much the same thing. Find a youtube video or something, and you're good. You might not even need to install a wireguard server yourself, as some routers have that built in (like my Ubiquit…
It also doesn't constantly try and ram any paid offerings down your throat.
I was originally put off by how much Tailscale is evangelised here, but after trying it, I can see why it's so popular.
I have my Ubuntu server acting as a Tailscale exit node.
I can route any of my devices through it when I'm away from home (e.g. phone, tablet, laptop).
It works like a VPN in that regard.
Last year, I was on a plane and happened to sit next to an employee of Tailscale.
I told him that I thought his product was cool (and had used it throughout the flight to route my in-flight Wi-fi traffic back to the UK) but that I had no need to pay for it!

My wife’s work WiFi is handled by a gl.inet 150 ( https://www.gl-inet.com/products/gl-ar150/ ) which is tucked behind her desk since at least 2019. Vanilla openwrt on it, provides WiFi from an Ethernet slot in the wall. Uptime is in years, it’s invisible and chugs along without visible power draw. All her devices connect to it, including her Cisco voip phone. It autossh to my ovh server with remote port forward for r…
>> I'm not sure why this is so hard to understand for manufacturers > My wife’s work WiFi is handled by a gl.inet 150 (...) since at least 2019. All her devices connect to it (...) Cost me 15€ in 2016. I think this answers GP's question as (yet another) solid reason why manufacturers "can't understand" prosumer needs - it's because targeting prosumers, or generally making products that "just works", is very bad for s…

Same! And the best thing is that you can install Tailscale, so you can connect to your tailnet, and exit all traffic through one of your nodes (e.g., your home/office network). It's incredibly useful, with the added bonus that you don't need to install tailscale client in any of your travel devices (phone, tablet, work computer, etc).
I am sorry, this confuses me. If I don't have a lclient, for example in my laptop, how does my laptop uses Tailscale then?
Also, TailScale Personal says 3 users. Is that a problem for as we are 4? (me, wife, son, doughter).
