Discover how to eliminate VPN complexity and exposed SSH servers while maintaining secure remote access to your entire distributed infrastructure in this 28-minute conference talk from All Things Open. Learn to implement zero-trust networking using Tailscale and WireGuard tunnels that require zero open firewall ports across AWS VMs, home networks, cloud services, and mobile devices. Explore practical demonstrations of subnet routers for home labs, app connectors for MongoDB Atlas, machine-to-machine connectivity with one-way ACLs, Tailscale SSH without PKI management, and TSIDP for identity-based authentication. Watch live demos showing SSH access with magic DNS, home printer and NAS connectivity, Portainer authentication, Tailscale Funnel integration, and remote desktop access. Master the transition from traditional networking headaches including port forwarding and VPN management to a simplified "World Wide LAN" approach that makes distributed infrastructure feel local again while maintaining enterprise-grade security through identity policies and mesh networking.
