I only use Tailscale for two features - one is having every machine on the network use a logical name of the pattern {projectname}-{environment} ie: `ssh me@hn-prd` and the other is exit nodes. I couldn't work out from your site if either of these two things is doable here.
Each device on your account gets a private static IP address in the network 100.x.x.x. The name is static as long as the device lives on your account.
Each also gets a friendly DNS name in the form device.account.2ho.ca (try finding a short domain these days).
So yes, you can...
$ ssh user@server.myaccount.2ho.ca
C:\ net use S: \\server.myaccount.2ho.ca\Home
etc.
Well, given you can set your vpn server to also relay dns requests, and have that same server resolve any *.myspecialtld requests makes that a breeze. I run a whole invite only "internet" of sorts doing this with a plain wireguard server (video streaming, webmail, chatbot, personal websites, forums etc) finding a short domain is easy as pie.
Ah, that's a shame - my OCD loves the short, domainless names we get on Tailscale.
Maybe I should look into that... there are a few different ways to do it, and none of them are all that hard.
- i just put it in the roadmap
