Tip: The fastest way to get started is the Built-in Relay — install the companion agent on your computer, scan a QR code, and you are connected. No VPN, no port forwarding, no network configuration.

Example

Here's what connecting looks like in practice:

# On your computer, verify SSH is running
ssh localhost
 
# Check your Tailscale IP
tailscale status
# my-macbook  100.64.0.1  linux  -
 
# On your phone, connect to:
# Host: my-macbook (or 100.64.0.1)
# User: your-username
# Auth: SSH key or password

Once connected, you have a full terminal — run commands, edit files, manage processes, and more.
