DIFF --SIDE-BY-SIDE
PanicTunnl vs Tailscale Funnel
Tailscale builds excellent private networks, but Funnel (its public URL feature) requires installing the Tailscale client on every device and is designed for private access first. PanicTunnl is public-first: one SSH command, instant public URL, no client install.
Requires client install on every device; private-first, not public-first.
