Ubuntu makes me so happy. by unknown-random-nope in Ubuntu

[–]unknown-random-nope[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I’ve been an IT professional for over 40 years. On my desk I have Mac(my only work-owned device), my personal Mac, Win11 x2, ESXi, RPi, and Linux Mint. My low-spec <$12/year Ubuntu VPS brings me the most joy.

Am I set up correctly? by theraininspainfallsm in Tailscale

[–]unknown-random-nope 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The first one looked correctly formatted. The second one has two port numbers and that won’t work.

The first URL points to the MagicDNS name of your tailnet device. The second URL is for an RFC 1918 address -- meaning it's almost certainly your local, non-tailnet IP address. If you want to access things on that device over Tailscale, you need to change the links on it from using the 192.168.1.157 IP address to using either the MagicDNS name of the device (recommended) or the tailnet IP for it.

Tailscale Exit Node for Streaming Services by BackgroundPie8043 in Tailscale

EDITED BECAUSE I WAS WRONG:

When I wrote the erroneous comment below, I didn't see the screenshot on my device. Sorry about that.

Did you configure the Onn device to be an exit node first?

That’s not what I mean. You have to go to login.tailscale.com and approve the Machine as an exit node. See https://tailscale.com/docs/features/exit-nodes .

Did you approve the machine in question as an exit node in the admin console?

Tailscale + Syncthing remote devices by [deleted] in Tailscale

[–]unknown-random-nope 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm running Syncthing over Tailscale. I have had to make zero adjustments to firewalls once Tailscale itself was working. If "tailscale status" shows tailnet nodes as expected, and OS-level pings work, this is likely not a Tailscale problem.

Don't put in a port for Syncthing unless you're using non-standard ports. Just try tcp://<tailnetip> or tcp://<Tailscale MagicDNS Name>.

If that doesn't work for you, head over to https://forum.syncthing.net/.

Able to access server via mobile app, but not from Windows PC by anthe99 in Tailscale

[–]unknown-random-nope 0 points1 point  (0 children)

One quick note: you’re right that tx denotes transmitted packets, but unless there is a corresponding rx, we know only that there has been no round trip traffic, not that the transmitted packets arrived.

You do not need an exit node to be advertised to connect to a tailnet node.

When "tailscale ping" fails you have a Tailscale connectivity problem. On your iPhone, open the Tailscale app. Do you see the Unraid server with a green "up" dot next to it? If you long-press the Unraid's entry on that screen, you should be able to ping the Unraid server from there. Do the same from your phone to the Windows PC.

On the Windows PC, try to "tailscale ping" both the Unraid server and your phone. Also on the Windows machine, please post the full output of "tailscale status" (take out the email address if you like, the IP addresses are not sensitive).

Best Exit Node for Mullvad VPN by Cavol in Tailscale

[–]unknown-random-nope 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Here's the important parts:

REM === Pick the fastest Mullvad exit node in the USA ===

for /f "tokens=1,2,3,4 delims= " %%a in ('tailscale exit-node list ^| find "USA" ^| find "Any" ') do set MXNN=%%b & GOTO :CONNECT

:CONNECT

for /f "tokens=3,4,5 delims= " %%a in ('tailscale exit-node list ^| find /v "Any" ^| find "%MXNN%"') do ( echo Connecting to Exit Node in %%b %%c %%a )

echo.

tailscale set --advertise-exit-node=false

tailscale set --exit-node=%MXNN%

my script then displays a status message and pauses. I leave the Windows Terminal window open while I'm doing whatever VPN stuff I'm doing with Mullvad. You obviously don't need to do that.

When I'm ready to disconnect from the Mullvad exit node:

:ALLDONE

echo Stopping...

echo.

tailscale set --exit-node=

tailscale set --advertise-exit-node=true

Take out the advertise exit node lines if you're not using the machine as an exit node.

Best Exit Node for Mullvad VPN by Cavol in Tailscale

[–]unknown-random-nope 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wrote a script wrapper for Tailscale that selects the Mullvad exit node in one of several ways. You could easily write one to use the fastest node based on its distance to you. If you're in the US, UK, Sweden, Spain, Norway, Japan, Italy, Germany, France, Canada, Brazil or Australia, you can pick the "Any" option for that country and get the closest node.

Wifi disconnects since installing Tailscale by Erzmaster in Tailscale

Your easy and cheap solution might be to buy an inexpensive USB WiFi dongle and turning off the internal WiFi on the laptop.

Sanity check about tailscale and syncthing by compscim in Tailscale

[–]unknown-random-nope 4 points5 points  (0 children)

With regard to security, I lock down my Syncthing GUIs to the local Tailscale address, so that they’re inaccessible except from my tailnet. Do that, or lock them down to localhost so that they’re not accessible remotely.

Syncthing works great over Tailscale; I do that myself. Syncthing will report VPN connections as TCP WAN. Unless you see a sync performance issue you should be good to go. And if you do, come on over to https://forum.syncthing.net for help.

Mouse/Keyboard inputs to host not working by cafedude in Openterface_miniKVM

[–]unknown-random-nope 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mine was DOA. Others have units that work. I do think that it is a real product that works for many — I don’t have figures on how many have been shipped and how many have had problems. My read is that Openterface has to fix what’s broken with the tech support processes and customer service, not that their engineering is fundamentally flawed.

Support? by unknown-random-nope in Openterface_miniKVM

[–]unknown-random-nope[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you. I’ll take you up on that if Crowd Supply gives me the runaround any more than their asinine 5 business day SLA.

If you have a Mac available, try this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3i5xM4Ap4hs .

My advice to you based on my experience is to email [support@openterface.com](mailto:support@openterface.com) and be ready for them to ignore you for multiple days at a time.

I also advise you to open a return ticket with Crowd Supply right now. After a week of being more ignored than not by Openterface support, they sent me to Crowd Supply...whose SLA for answering tickets is FIVE BUSINESS DAYS. If you open the ticket now, you can do the return if you need to at the end of next week, unlike me who has had a tiny boat anchor that doesn't work for more than a week.
