I only use Tailscale for two features - one is having every machine on the network use a logical name of the pattern {projectname}-{environment} ie: `ssh me@hn-prd` and the other is exit nodes. I couldn't work out from your site if either of these two things is doable here.
Well, given you can set your vpn server to also relay dns requests, and have that same server resolve any *.myspecialtld requests makes that a breeze. I run a whole invite only "internet" of sorts doing this with a plain wireguard server (video streaming, webmail, chatbot, personal websites, forums etc) finding a short domain is easy as pie.

Each device on your account gets a private static IP address in the network 100.x.x.x. The name is static as long as the device lives on your account.
Each also gets a friendly DNS name in the form device.account.2ho.ca (try finding a short domain these days).
So yes, you can...
$ ssh user@server.myaccount.2ho.ca
C:\ net use S: \\server.myaccount.2ho.ca\Home
etc.

Ah, that's a shame - my OCD loves the short, domainless names we get on Tailscale.
Maybe I should look into that... there are a few different ways to do it, and none of them are all that hard.
- i just put it in the roadmap
Amazing. Is there somewhere we can view / follow the roadmap?
