alt Hacker News> with the added bonus that you don't need to install tailscale client in any of your travel devices (phone, tablet, work computer, etc).
I am sorry, this confuses me. If I don't have a lclient, for example in my laptop, how does my laptop uses Tailscale then?
Also, TailScale Personal says 3 users. Is that a problem for as we are 4? (me, wife, son, doughter).

If Tailscale is installed on your router, then any client will also be able to connect to Tailscale networks.
Fo example, if you have a default route back to your home network on the router, any client will also connect through that tunnel back through your home. This assumes you are using your travel router to connect your laptop as opposed to say the hotel wifi. (In this scenario, your travel router is connected to both the hotel wifi as an uplink and Tailscale.)
For what it's worth, you get 100 devices total, regardless of number of user accounts. If you don't need the permissions granularity that individual accounts have, consider only having an "admin" and "untrusted" account... or a single account, and pinky promise your family not to play with it.
