Tailscale blog reflects on campus networking struggles

Original: I wish I had Tailscale when I was at university

Tailscale has published a post recalling how its mesh VPN would have simplified networking during university years, when students wrestled with campus firewalls, SSH tunnels and accessing lab machines from dorm rooms. Readers are sharing their own memories of clunky self-hosted VPN setups and agreeing that the tool removes much of that friction.

Why now: The post taps into widespread nostalgia about painful campus networking before modern VPN tools existed.
