Can anyone explain how is this different to ngrok?

• BilalBudhani 3y ago
  from what I can gather it provides the same functionality as ngrok without reaching for another tool. If Tailscale already exists in your networking tool belt this functionality comes really handy.

  Ngrok doesn’t require TLS. I’m not sure if they decrypt traffic on their servers. These two pages make it unclear https://ngrok.com/docs/secure-tunnels/tunnels/tls-tunnels/ https://ngrok.com/docs/secure-tunnels/tunnels/tls-tunnels/ https://ngrok.com/docs/secure-tunnels/ https://ngrok.com/docs/secure-tunnels/

  • Ngrok only provides tunnels. • Ngrok pulled a pricing bait-and-switch a year ago increasing prices to $240/year/user if you wanted a stable subdomain, even for bandwidth-trivial users. - Edit: Looks like they now have an $8/month/user tier for a single stable subdomain and now offer some edge hosting as well.

    $8/user/mo is still far too much for a stable domain without the spam-guard intermediary page, and I'm glad there's some free competition in this space now. This is my first time using tailscale, and I set up and figured out funnel within fifteen minutes.
