Multiple Tailscale tailnets at once, no switching + no VM
The official Tailscale client keeps one tailnet active at a time. TailMux makes work and personal tailnets reachable simultaneously on macOS and Linux, without switching accounts, running multiple system daemons, or using a VM. It runs an isolated embedded node per profile and routes by hostname, with strict no-fallback isolation. Use SSH, RDP/SMB, browsers, curl, git, and npm across tailnets at the same time.
Hey Product Hunt 👋 I'm the maker. TailMux started as a personal annoyance: I run a work tailnet and a personal one, and the official client can only be active on one at a time. Fast user switching means constantly running tailscale switch and dropping the other connection.
The workarounds (two daemons, userspace SOCKS5, a whole VM) all felt clunky on macOS, so I built something that runs an isolated embedded Tailscale node per tailnet and routes traffic by hostname suffix. Both tailnets are live at the same time, with strict isolation so nothing leaks between them. It covers SSH, RDP/SMB tunnels, per-tailnet browser routing, and routing curl/git/npm.
It's a one-time $4.99 license (a year of updates, keep your version forever). It's not affiliated with Tailscale — just a companion tool. It scratched my own itch and I use it daily; I'd love feedback from anyone juggling multiple tailnets. Ask me anything.
