Tailscale SSH
Automated SSH key management
SSH to any device without bastion hosts to manage, public exposure, or high latency.
Trusted by 10,000+ global companies
No manual key management
Generate, rotate, distribute and manage SSH keys with a single command. Encrypt all connections by default.
Any device, anywhere
SSH from any device and across operating systems. Answer an on-call emergency from anywhere.
SSO + MFA
Keep your existing identity provider (IdP) and multi-factor authentication for streamlined and secure access.
Manual SSH management isn’t secure
Stay secure, save time
Easily manage shell access to any Linux-based infrastructure and reduce the risk of mismanagement that comes with static SSH keys and manual sharing and rotation. Verify user identities against existing identity providers (e.g. Google Workspace or Okta) and manage access via centralized ACLs.
Quick, compliant authentication
Enable session recordings for audits, and instantly revocable access via ACLs. Keep your existing identity provider and multi-factor authentication to protect SSH connections.
Stay secure by default

Keys aren’t reused, access is defined
SSH keys are unique to each network, ensuring keys aren't reused. Define what connections you want to allow using a standard syntax in a centralized configuration file.
Access servers without public exposure
Powered by the WireGuard protocol, all connections are end-to-end encrypted by default.
Reduce latency with point-to-point connections
Connect directly from your device to your server, without needing a bastion. Less hardware to manage, lower latency, and one less point of exposure.
Built-in key rotation
Key distribution and rotation with a single command. Each server and user device gets its own node key, used for authentication and encryption.
