About Tailscale+

Tailscale links your computers, servers and phones into a private, encrypted network without a traditional VPN setup. Staff can reach office files, a database or a printer securely from home. It takes some technical comfort to set up, but it is much simpler than older VPNs. Eligible charities and nonprofits get 50% off list prices.

Pricing: Personal plan is free forever for up to 6 users with unlimited user devices and 50 tagged resources. Standard is US$8 per user per month and Premium US$18; Enterprise is custom. Check Tailscale's terms before using the Personal plan for organisation work, as its permitted use was not checked.
