Tailscale

Overview

Tailscale is a zero‑config mesh VPN built on WireGuard. It creates a private, encrypted network between your devices using your existing identity provider for authentication. Devices connect peer‑to‑peer when possible and traverse NAT automatically.

Whar does PULSE-A use Tailscale for

  • Secure remote access to lab devices connected to the tailscale enabled router in the PULSE-A lab (e.g., BeagleBones, routers) without port forwarding

  • Works over Wi‑Fi, Ethernet, or cellular across different networks

Basic usage

Install Tailscale and sign in on each device and sign with the team google account. Then enable tailscale and connect to the lab router IP.
