Tailscale has released an early preview of tailscale-rs, a Rust library for its tsnet framework, enabling developers to build Tailscale-integrated applications in Rust. This library aims to provide the same secure, zero-config networking capabilities as the Go version but with Rust's performance and safety features. The preview signals Tailscale's expansion into the Rust ecosystem, appealing to developers seeking modern language alternatives.
Background
Tailscale is a zero-config VPN service built on WireGuard, simplifying secure network connectivity for applications and devices. Its tsnet library allows embedding Tailscale directly into software, previously primarily supporting Go.
