What people previously said about Tailscale

“How are shared machine IPv4 addresses handled? I needed to test machine sharing so I set up a second tailnet and shared it to it.”

“Explicitly allow the tailscale ports and see what happens?”

“I'm loving taildrop, but would love to be able to share in ios directly to Taildrop just as in desktop. Is it possible?”

“Tailscale is generally the opposite of lightweight and compact, and I can't imagine that running in the browser improves that.”

“so of course we are having onboaring snags, as expected. but honestly @Tailscale is so handy for this!”

“I’m unable to access web servers on one of my devices. I’ve pinged the Tailscale IP, the device is showing up on my account, I can use either the devices IP or 127.0.0.1 and access the server while on the device itself.”

“Yeah, I've been moving away from 3rd party logins for core services like Tailscale towards Yubikey based, passkey based logins.”

“What if tailscale domain is blocked(not whitelisted ) in my office .. will this still work”

“Wait can this be used without a system wide tailscale? So like on non-admin machines?”

“Woah this project is sick! Been looking for this for a while, particularly more lightweight compared to Tailchrome. Will this work on top of the system Tailscale, and go through it effectively double VPNing, or will it be a seperate routing split at the system level?”

“idk if you could do some version of tailscale funnels for this?”

“No issues with Tailscale setup, using exit nodes in US or other countries via Mullvad. No issues in Hilton and Radisson hotels. When using certain government apps you may have to turn off Tailscale as they don’t allow VPN to be active.”

“Yep, tailscale, sync things. Glued together a lot of services”

“Tailscale is already an easy way for anyone to connect their devices, which is essential for any sort of "personal cloud", and Aperture, while initially something of an AI gateway, is also facilitating connections to other services and apps.”

“Is there any benefit to using Tailscale over a PiVPN setup? PiVPN is Wireguard.”

“however my android devices (Samsung) have a problem in maintaining access. if I connect to the tailscale network I have full lan access as long as i keep the tailscale app open and running in a multi window style. but as soon as the app looses focus then tailscale disconnects.”

“Beware of tailscale going proxy. Your latency is very fucking high and it may be because you're being proxied by tailscale servers.”

“I'm not, but I do have Tailscale DNS enabled in setting on both phones.”

“I often use Netbird for my gigs and Tailscale for labbing”

“I host headscale on a vps and use tailscale peer relays since I stream movies over it. I'm on E& and I've never had issues. I'm guessing it would be the same for tailscale as well.”

“Using tailscale in cell and wifi (hotels) with exit node with no issues so far”

“Tailscale give me so much sound tearing and drop fps, not sure why but wireguard work great for me and so stable”

“Tailscale on home network works just fine. Exit node to my computer back in home country. Didnt try in hotels since i live here.”

“This past 2 days it has stopped working the exit node option, I reboot the project and works for like 3 minutes and stops working.”

“​When Tailscale fails to establish direct UDP and falls back to a TCP DERP relay, throughput drops to near-unusable speeds.”

“Yep, just register it in the admin, run tailscale serve with advertise for that service, approve in the dashboard and you're good to go”

“NEVER use Tailscale if you know how to use Wireguard. Tailscale induces extra lag.”

“I'll evolve on this for crazy people - VR over tailscale works too.”

“I stumbled across Tailscale's pve-appliance experiment for Proxmox the other day. It's built on gokrazy and had me thinking about this.”

“Tailscale is an easy and good way to approach what I shared earlier also, in terms of safety anyways. You got this!”

“This, setup a service in tailscale with whatever name you want, and bind it to your single instance, i do this all the time, you can have multiple services pointing to the same machine as well”

“I’ve recently had to turn off Tailscale if I didn’t want crazy stuttering. Still gotta troubleshoot that but has made games unplayable with it on. Luckily I haven’t needed to game outside of my LAN”

“Similar to the rescue os Hetzner uses but super flexible with tailscale, love it. The same function is also possible from pxe booting as well right?”

“I tried tailscale and netbird a while back and the speeds were atrocious”

“Thank you soo much Alta for implementing Tailscale into Route10. That flexibility, along with Wireguard made me remove my Cloud Gateway Fiber finally.”

“Are you using the ip thst tailscale give you for the Jellyfin server? (I am just checking every box)”

“Easiest way to run Tailscale and Cloudflare One together?”

“my friend, tailscale certs are public certs issued by Let's Encrypt. your names are already in CT logs.”

“Basically download tailscale on your host and client and connect both of them to your tailscale account and that's it.”

“Now I do the same with Artemis over Tailscale, I can send the WoL packet from Artemis or send an SSH command from a little widget on my phone screen to my router. (Over Tailscale as well)”

“Are you using the ip address or the hostname of your jellyfin computer on the mobile phone? You should use the host name 'http:\\mycomputerhostname:8086' unless you have subnet routing enabled on the jellyfin tailscale computer.”

“If you want, you can take a look at replacing the Tailscale control servers with self hosted Headscale ones if you want to be completely self sufficient. (Optional)”

“Yeah, this is the primary reason I haven’t rolled Tailscale out to our hundreds of customers. It’s too much to manage an IDP for them too.”

“Capy can now connect to your @Tailscale tailnet! Let your Capy agents interact with internal services securely without exposing them to the internet”

“Accounts that exist on shared domains (like gmail.com) where all users are unrelated and create their own, individual tailnets and those on custom domains (like the one you're changing to, where all users share a tailnet) work a little differently in our database, and I can't swap between the two.”

“You can buy a domain name, point it to your tailscale IP, then while connected to tailscale you type in the domain and it pulls it up.”

“I don't even know if it's worth to set up tailscale at this point”

“Someone touched on it but i want to add, try http:// it defaults to https which you are not use ing when accessing through tailscale.”

“we're using tailscale to provide access to a web app, over tls with caddy.. works like a charm .”

“I recommend checking out your access policies in Tailscale to make sure your phone is allowed to access your server at the right ports and stuff”
