Tailscale reflects on how it would have helped university networking

Original: I wish I had Tailscale when I was at university

Tailscale has published a post about using its mesh VPN on university campuses, describing how students can securely access dorm machines, lab computers and coursework servers from anywhere without fighting campus firewalls or complicated VPN setups. Discussion online is nostalgic, with readers saying they wish such a tool had existed when they were students, when remote access to campus computers meant SSH tunnels, port forwarding and fragile workarounds.

Why now: A new Tailscale blog post about university use has prompted technologists to reminisce about how painful campus networking was before such tools existed.
