All in One Tailscale Device Opinions
Hi everyone!
I've been using Tailscale for almost a year and I've been loving what I can now do with it. Accessing my own NAS and selfhosted webservices without portforwarding have been a dream, and having an exit node in my current residence as well as my home country has extremely helpful bypassing georestrictions and what not.
This got me thinking if there could be an easier way to set up an exit node for people who are less techy. Maybe a small device like a Pi with Tailscale preloaded that people could easily have a plug and play solution. Maybe also adding an Adguard DNS at the same time would also make a device like that more appealing to setup for people who would want their own VPN type device.
I'm currently working on a concept/pitch idea for a device like that for a class I've been taking called Startup Bootcamp, and I would love to hear people's thoughts and opinions on such a device. Currently I've thought of loading a microcomputer with Tailscale and Adguard, and making it plug and play, leaning into the easy to set up aspect.
Do you guys think that a device like this could be useful or appealing to the less technical people you know? Or do you think it doesnt do enough to justify buying a physical device for them?
Either way, I'd like to hear what you all have to say on this idea since this community has been so great! (And if you'd like to talk about it more, feel free to send me a message)
TL;DR:
I have a concept of creating a theoretical startup for a class as assignment, and my idea would be selling microcomputers with tailscale and maybe adguard preinstalled. This product would be aimed at people less techy, but who want their own personal VPN thing.
I'd like to get feedback on this idea from you guys since I don't know anyone who uses tailscale aside from me irl, so any feedback would be greatly appreciated!
