Tailscale is excellent for connecting your own devices. But for MSPs managing client LANs with NVR cameras, PBX systems, managed switches, and firewalls — you can't install Tailscale on any of them. ProxyLink puts one WireGuard tunnel on the router and reaches every device on the LAN without agents.

| EU-hosted infrastructure | US (Google Cloud) | |
| NIS2 audit log + session recording | ||
| MSP multi-tenant client management | Limited | |
| WireGuard protocol | ||
| Free tier available | ||
| Per-device licensing cost | No | Yes (above free tier) |
| Works on unmanaged network devices |
Tailscale creates a mesh network between devices that run the Tailscale client. NVR cameras, IP PBX systems, managed switches (Cisco, Ubiquiti, MikroTik), firewalls, and UPS units don't run software. Tailscale cannot reach them.
Install a WireGuard tunnel on the client's router (MikroTik, pfSense, OpenWRT, Raspberry Pi). Every device on that LAN — cameras, PBX, switches, servers, Windows PCs — becomes reachable instantly. No software on individual devices.
Tailscale's control plane runs on Google Cloud in the US. For European MSPs under NIS2, having client access credentials routed through US infrastructure creates compliance risk. Your client's metadata — who connected to what, when — is on US servers.
ProxyLink runs exclusively on Hetzner in Germany. All audit logs, session recordings, and access metadata stay in the EU. Your NIS2 compliance report lists EU-only infrastructure. No legal grey area for GDPR or supply chain audits.
Free during early access. EU-hosted. No agent on network devices. No credit card.
