Tailscale = Private Hallway

A private connection, similar to a VPN, that helps you reach the VPS safely without exposing it to the public internet.

Beginner Checks

  • Is Tailscale running on your device? Check the app or menu icon.
  • Is the device showing as "online" in your Tailscale admin panel?
  • Is the VPS visible in your Tailscale network?
  • Are you signed into the right Tailscale account?
💡 Tip: If Tailscale is offline, the Private Hallway is closed. You may need to use a public entrance (regular IP) or restart Tailscale on both ends.
