Getting Started

Step one

Sign-up for a Tailscale account. Tailscale requires a Single Sign-On (SSO) provider, like an Apple, Google, Microsoft or GitHub account. Please refer to the tailscale documentation for a complete list of supported identity providers.

Step two

Download and install the tailscale app on the device(s) you are planning to use to access your node

Step three

Accept the tailescale shared node invite link sent to you by us.

You can use tailscale ping to check whether the connection to your node has been established via P2P (preferred, low latency) or via a DERP relay.

status
# use tailscale status to retrieve the ip of the shared node
tailscale status
# ping your node, e.g.:
tailscale ping 100.42.42.42

Step four

That's it, you can now use all our supported APIs.
