If you only pay for unique humans, why does the pricing page list device count caps (and, on Business plans, the pricing for exceeding those caps)?
Because if you are an IoT service with one human and 100,000 devices, the amount of support you may need is more dependent on the 100,000 than on the 1. Very large numbers of devices per human need somewhat different pricing.

Very promising the start of the pam. Good news about the SSH client, I figured that was the case but wanted to ake sure. That would be a huge benefit for my developers who are all on Windows.
Thanks for the info about pricing, I set up the 1 user free account and started that to get some hands on experience, and I'll copy you on pricing if I can't get it figured out. Thanks!

I've tried this earlier and was unsusccessful sshing from my iPad, using Termius and Blink apps. Not sure if there are specific client requirements on the iPad?
We successfully tested a number of iOS SSH clients. They should all work.
Can you file a bug with details of what you saw? Either https://github.com/tailscale/tailscale/issues/new or email support@ ... whichever you're more comfortable with.
ah I think I figured it out!
I had a notification asking me to verify, but because of Focus, that notification didn't show up anywhere that I could see...... So in theory, this should work, will try again.
Works fine now
Linux-only on the server right. macOS support is kinda there (in git) but not entirely done and not included in the GUI builds. Windows server support is tracked in https://github.com/tailscale/tailscale/issues/4697.
You can use any SSH client from any OS.

Some of the start of that is in https://github.com/tailscale/pam
> One thing that has prevented me from trying Tailscale, despite the great word on the street, is I can't figure out pricing, despite contacting sales. I'd like to run it on ~120 dev+stg+prod VMs, with 10 people (devs, testers, ops). I'd like every box to talk over tailscale directly, as an overlay network, but servers I hope aren't users, that'd get expensive fast. But I need more devices than 10/user. I presume "custom" would help with that but I got no reply from sales. We are probably too small fry. Now that I'm typing this, I realize I guess we could just buy ~15-20 users despite needing only 10.
You only pay for unique humans, not tagged role account devices. I wonder if your email got eaten as spam or something. Email me (username at tailscale) and copy sales@ and I'll make sure somebody replies. But I don't think you need a custom plan.
> I think I've resolved myself to setting up Nebula for the server overlay network, and using Tailscale for physical users, with a traditional firewall bridging them.
Hey, if you've got something that works, stick with it. :)
