Tailscale

Tailscale Aperture is currently in alpha testing, but you'll need to request access if you want to use it. It's a little bit like a password manager, but it's for your AI API keys, and will only work when connected to your tailnet. It sits at http://ai/ui/ while you're connected, and lets you store one API key per provider, then share that API key with anyone authorized on your tailnet. But it's more than that. Trying to rotate API keys if someone leaves or if you know you had an API leak is a major pain. By keeping them in Aperture, you don't have to worry about that, because once you remove

That is the main reason Tailscale is so popular. It removes a lot of the annoying parts of WireGuard setup. Tailscale is especially useful if you: Cannot port forward because of CGNAT or ISP limitations. Do not want to open ports on your router/firewall. Want an easy way to access devices across multi

Choose Tailscale if you want easy setup, no port forwarding, simple device management, CGNAT support, subnet routing, and exit no
