Building on what katnegermis said, this is what we're trying to help with. We integrate with identity management systems and handle the key management (and NAT traversal) on top of WireGuard, making it easier to deploy and manage.
If you're interested, a colleague of mine wrote up a blog post on how things work: https://tailscale.com/blog/how-tailscale-works/
Then I would use it for my family, e.g. I could replace DynDNS + port forwarding I set up so my dad can control his home automation software (Hass.io) from his iPhone app, even off the WiFi. I’m unfortunately just not willing to set up/shell out for GSuite/Active Directory/Office365 for my family.
What really hooked me was your story about the medical practice a little while back.
It is extremely refreshing to not have to deal with key/certificate management, and to have all my VPN traffic be directly client to client instead of via a slow (or expensive) and likely remote VPN server.
Great product and I can't wait for some time to play around with it further!
It would be great if Tailscale had its independent 2-fa that I fan use through any hardware key (for compliance reasons), rather than go through Google.
