Hey folks, this is Drew! Before Tailsecurity One, I embarked on an interesting project to test my knowledge of programming in at least a basic sense. Born of this project was padserve.

Padserve began life as a client-server pair implementation of the Padserve API, also designed by me. After many improvements to both the server and client, I decided to split the client off into its own project, padclient!

There was also some common functionality related to the enumeration of Tailscale network interfaces that I split off into its own package, tailutils. Tailutils abstracts away various Tailscale interactions, and will see continuous improvements and additions as more functionality is required.

Now, Padserve, Padclient, and Tailutils are all under the Tailsecurity One umbrella, and we’ll continue to update them!
