What is a tailnet?
A tailnet is your private network on Tailscale. Every device signed in to your Tailscale account joins it and gets a stable address (like 100.96.237.43) and a name (like mini.tailXXXX.ts.net). Devices on it can reach each other from anywhere, at home, at work or on a phone, and nothing on the public internet can. The tailnet's access rules decide which devices and people can connect to what.
Why it's better than port forwarding
To reach a home machine without Tailscale, you open a port on your router to the whole internet. Every bot scanning for SSH then finds you. A tailnet keeps that port closed: only devices the tailnet's access rules allow can connect. On a tailnet with only you in it and no shared machines, that means your own devices. Other members of a shared or company tailnet, and anyone you share a machine with, can reach it as far as the rules allow.
What it's good for
- SSH into a Mac mini or home server from anywhere.
- Open a dev server running at home from your laptop.
- Use your desktop from your phone.
How Pane uses it
Remote Pane connects your laptop or phone to your other machines over your tailnet by default. Pane Workspaces use the same tailnet so an agent on one machine can read files and run commands on another, with no SSH keys to manage. Use your computer from any device
