June News

Before we get into what happened in June, let’s go back to the beginning of the month. We wrapped up May and kicked off June with some pretty big news - we had our first ever community conference, Tailscale Up. To celebrate that occasion, we announced new features that address some of the top community feature requests.

  • Invite external users to your Tailnet
  • Passkeys for login
  • VS Code extension

Check out an overview of each feature HERE.

We’ve got a bunch of cool community contributions and new Tailscale features to share this month. Let’s jump in:

Tailscale in real life + virtually

Tailscale is a proud sponsor of LeadDev London!

Tailscale is sponsoring LeadDev, a conference for software engineering managers to develop their leadership skills, June 27-28 in London. If you are attending, we’d love it if you stopped by booth #17 to say hello, learn more about our latest features, and enter our sweepstakes for a chance to win a Moonlander Keyboard.

Tailscale is sponsoring BlackHat USA - Las Vegas!

BlackHat USA is a cybersecurity conference that provides security consulting, training, and briefings to hackers, corporations, and government agencies around the world. If you are attending this year’s event from Aug. 9 - 10, we’d love it if you stopped by booth 2821D to say hello and learn more about our latest features.

From the team

Invite anyone to your tailnet

You can invite anyone to your Tailscale network (tailnet) even if they’re on a different domain or using a shared domain like Gmail. With external invites, all tailnets can add users from any identity or email provider.

Security, Productivity, and ZTNA with Tailscale Enterprise

Tailscale makes it easy to create robust networks of devices without having admins worry about properly scoping firewall rules, fine tuning DNS and network configurations, and setting up certificate authorities.

Tailscale doesn’t want your password

To keep logins sane, Tailscale started by requiring users log in using reasonably well-managed Google and Microsoft auth providers. Now, we are happy to offer a modern replacement for passwords that meets our security requirements: passkeys.

Bring your tailnet to VS Code

We’re releasing a Tailscale extension for Visual Studio Code, a text editor we hear is pretty popular. The new extension, now in beta, brings the magic of your tailnet even closer to your code and makes it easier than ever to share your local development over the internet for collaboration, testing, and experimentation. It lets you use Tailscale directly in VS Code on macOS and Windows platforms.

Tailscale now in the QNAP App Center

An official Tailscale app has landed in the QNAP App Center, so now users of the company’s network-attached storage devices can download and install a Tailscale client with just a few clicks.
