TailPass is an innovative TCP port forwarding tool powered by Tailscale, designed to seamlessly bridge VLANs, containers, and hosts. This tool simplifies the connection of web servers, SSH sessions, databases, and any TCP service across your network, eliminating the need for complex configurations.

With TailPass, users can effortlessly add local and remote services, initiate a secure tunnel, and enjoy uninterrupted traffic flow facilitated by Tailscale. The platform provides a lightweight dashboard, a robust backend, and enables remote access to services from anywhere.

Key Features

• User-Friendly Dashboard: Access a simple web interface for configuration and monitoring of services.
• Robust Backend: Built using Go, it handles API requests and port forwarding efficiently.
• Database Management: Utilizes PostgreSQL for storing tunnel and service data, ensuring reliable data management.
• Containerization: Fully containerized components managed through Docker Compose, making deployment straightforward.

Usage

TailPass allows forwarding of TCP ports from local machines, containers, or VLAN networks via the Tailscale interface, enabling secure access to services such as:

• Web Servers
• SSH
• Databases

Users can bind services to various local IP addresses, including:

• 127.0.0.1 for local-only exposure
• 100.x.x.x (Tailscale IP) for Tailscale network exposure
• 0.0.0.0 to listen on all available interfaces

The project roadmap outlines numerous features for future enhancements including GUI improvements, health checks, user authentication, and service management directly from the dashboard. TailPass aims to continuously enhance user experience and maintainability while providing a secure, efficient solution for remote service access.
