Meet Tailscale: HackerNoon Company of the Week

We are back with another Company of the Week feature! Every week, we share an awesome tech brand from our tech company database, making their evergreen mark on the internet. This unique HackerNoon database ranks S&P 500 companies and top startups of the year alike.

This week, we proudly present Tailscale, a secure, private, identity-based, infrastructure-agnostic network with a flexible topology, resilient networking, and streamlined setup. It allows devices to connect securely over the internet as if they were on the same local network, without needing complicated setup. Built on the WireGuard protocol, Tailscale is ideal for teams who need secure access to resources and networks from anywhere.

Meet Tailscale: #FunFact

Tailscale's mission is to help people create secure networks centered around their personal connections. According to Tailscale, their service is designed to make networking both safe and simple, whether you're connecting with co-workers to share prototypes, accessing a company database securely, or sharing files and photos with family members. They focus on eliminating the overhead and complexity often associated with software and operational challenges. By simplifying and securing connectivity, Tailscale aims to enable teams to build scalable systems without adding unnecessary complexity.

We are committed to always safeguarding your data. Every connection is encrypted end-to-end using WireGuard®, a modern VPN protocol designed for usability, performance, and security. Stay up-to-date on updates via our security bulletin below.

Tailscale's three main guiding principles are:

1. Real people solving concrete problems: Decentralization, encryption, and scalability are means to an end, not the ends in themselves. Their mission is to solve tech problems for diverse teams across various industries, with a team that mirrors this diversity and brings empathy to their work.
2. Small is beautiful: Tailscale values the effectiveness of small, skilled teams over large groups. They believe that smaller teams are capable of producing more excellent, coherent, and beautiful outcomes, which larger teams or networks often struggle to replicate.
3. It has to “just work”: Tailscale emphasizes the importance of reliability and simplicity. Their goal is to ensure their systems function seamlessly, allowing users to focus on their core work without being bogged down by technical issues.
