Tailscale Now Runs in the Browser (twitter.com/bradfitz)

Something something..now we gotta block tailscale enterprise wide and force people (including myself) to use managed chrome to prevent this being used to bypass security controls.

I am all for this to be honest, the need is there. The problem from a security perspective is that browsers don't lend themselves to policy enforcement. Chrome is the the exception but it has a lot to improve as well.

This is another big fail/miss on firefox. It could have gotten more adoption by allowing federated accounts for the browser where admins push configs to browsers. Not just in a corporate setting but imagine logging into multiple devices and they all get your about:config tuning,extensions and extension data (noscript/ublock exceptions!), bookmarks,etc... they could even upsell like "chrome enterprise".

Similarly, wouldn't be awesome if tailscale replaced enterprise vpn's? Like there is sd-wan,zscaler and all that but tailscale is more than a bit different.


This is cool!

Now we can get end-users to do portscanning of their home network for us … or something.


sounds like we could use this for user attestation.

And be protected from DNS or BGP hijacking
