Tailscale Integration

Provider details

Tailscale is a secure and private network that uses WireGuard to connect devices across different platforms and locations. It allows users to access their resources and services based on their identity, not just their IP address. Tailscale is easy to set up and manage, and it integrates with various cloud providers and identity providers

Note: We use Truto as a Provider for this Integration
