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.
