Tail Scale Funnel: Securely Sharing Local Services for Collaboration
Tail Scale Funnel is a valuable tool for sharing local services within human scale teams for collaboration, testing, and experimentation. It allows developers to securely expose their dev environment at a stable URL, with auto-provisioned TLS certificates. This feature can be accessed from the command line or the new VS code extensions, enabling developers to easily share their local port with the Internet directly from their IDE. Tail Scale Funnel was successfully used in a presentation at the Tail Scale Up developer conference, where the speaker revealed that they had used it to present slides. The service now offers a free plan with three users and up to a hundred devices.
