Why would I use Tailscale over OpenVPN, for example? OpenVPN is supported by my router OOTB and the config was incredibly straightforward. It sounds like Mullvad adds a layer of privacy into a Tailscale network if I’m understanding it correctly. But Mullvad aside, I don’t get what separates Tailscale from something like OpenVPN.
We have an article that tries to provide a detailed answer to this question! https://tailscale.com/compare/openvpn/
Cool thank you will give that a read.
Significant ease of use.
i believe wireguard is far more performant for one thing. i find the config files a million times more readable too but that's subjective
Huh. Well in my case I flipped the feature on in my Asus router, installed the OpenVPN client on my iPhone and imported the config file my router generated for me and that was it. Took like 2 minutes to do.
sure dont get me wrong, plugging in configs is same difference lol. but if your provider also has wireguard you may want to speedtest em
