I’m a heavy Tailscale user, so I do trust them quite a bit, but I never used the Tailscale SSH feature. I feel like OpenSSH’s security record is pretty unbeatable, not sure why I’d swap over for such a security-sensitive tool.

Yeah pretty much just use tailscale as a vpn.. do one thing as they say.

I've used it before to access my tailnet machines through a browser on a machine I can't download software on.

I used it for a bunch of remote monitor boxes to have a way of centrally managing ssh access to things that were often on- and off-line. It was simple and convenient and access was easily revocable.

Convenience for the most part but in general, I agree. I like having it as an option.
