About Tailscale
Tailscale moves beyond the network layer into agent identity, chat, and sandboxes.
Tailscale's core is identity-based networking, and most recent releases are steady platform work: client connectivity fixes, Azure Blob log streaming, OAuth-based device provisioning, group visibility, and policy refinements. But the standout is Aperture — an alpha chat interface with identity-aware MCP and API connectors and agent sandboxes — that pushes Tailscale up the stack into agent infrastructure.
