I’ve been trying out Tailscale recently to simplify networking between my devices. With the beta launch of Tailscale SSH offering the ability to connect to my DigitalOcean droplet without SSH keypairs, I was eager to incorporate it into my setup.
Said setup is a matter for another time, but with Tailscale SSH enabled for my droplet I was able to remote in with a plain ssh nicholas@gandra-dee!
However, there was a visible half-second delay when entering commands. While not a dealbreaker, it made each session a frustrating experience!
