I built my own secure network in the cloud to access my home PCs remotely - for free
Do you need easy, secure remote access to your home or small business network? Before you pay big bucks for a VPN or remote-access plan, try Tailscale. Did I mention it's free?
ZDNET reports on the free Tailscale service that enables secure private networks for remote access to home computers. The author used Tailscale while on vacation to access two PCs running in his home lab from three countries away. Tailscale uses peer-to-peer mesh networking, WireGuard encryption, and trusted identity providers to allow secure connections between devices as if they were on the same local network.
The service does not require complex setup or configuration and works over slow internet connections. Tailscale is free for up to six users, with paid plans available for larger organizations. The author found Tailscale to be a simple, secure, and free solution for remote access to home PCs.
