TAILMON TAILMON v1.3.0 -Aug 24, 2025- WireGuard-based Tailscale Installer, Configurator and Monitor (Available in AMTM!)

[Viktor Jaep]

I imagine not, but would it be possible to wire a client through the guest network on tailscale on the router?

If not, I suppose in order to do that you'd have to just install tailscale on a home device connected to the guest network?

Sounds like that would work! If you need to reach a device on the guest network, just make sure that Tailscale is running on it, and connect it to your tailnet.

Thanks for the reply bro. What do you mean by reach a device on the guest network? I'd just want the ability to be able to choose going through my default network, 192.168.50.x, getting the benefit of using this while away from home, then the ability to go straight in on a guest network, 192.168.7.x, restricting access to my LAN.

But I guess this all depends on what network the device that you are tunneling into will be on, is that what you mean? Would be coolf if there was a way to choose the network without having to ensure the device you tunnel through is on that network. I'm new to tailscale though, so maybe you can do this?

Absolutely, bro. What I mean is, you can have tailscale devices anywhere you please... whether it's on your 50.x network, or your 7.x network, or on some other network across the country... they will all be visible and reachable on your tailnet. It's on you how you control their behavior, and which ways they have to communicate in or out of those networks.

would it be possible to wire a client through the guest network on tailscale on the router?

What did you mean with "wire"? Do you mean "physically" wire a client through the guest network? Or do you mean "connect to"?

What did you mean with "wire"? Do you mean "physically" wire a client through the guest network? Or do you mean "connect to"?

For example with your implemetation of tailscale through the router, would I be able to setup an exit node on my main and guest network? I think I'm using the right meaning of exit node. Meaning my client will use the assigned DNS/VPN configuration of the exit node it is using? So if one client is on 50.x, it will have it's DNS/VPN settings and the same for 7.x ... or have I totally misunderstood how this works?

Also, could I do something similar by using simple wireguard and not tailscale?

Updated two Routers yesterday via Tailmon, with no issue.

Updated two Routers yesterday via Tailmon, with no issue.

No problem autoupdating here either.

Note I did need to force stop the Tailscale service manually again and let Tailmon auto restart it ("t" option in the config menu):

/opt/etc/init.d/S06tailscaled stop

Not sure why my setup is different from everyone else's.

No issues to report over here either... looks like it autoupdated just fine without any intervention on my end. @XIII ... could be a bad CDN or something that you're pulling the download from. Perhaps give it some time and try again?

 

[jksmurf]

could be a bad CDN

Yeah watch out for those bad Canadians...

There is no such thing. I know for a fact!

Yes, when I tried again later it downloaded the whole binary in less than a second…

I had this problem yesterday, very slow to download and then failed most of the way through.
Tried it again a few mins later and it loaded straight away.

There is no such thing. I know for a fact!

As an American that lived most of his life in a border town (NF, NY) I can vouch for that!

Hello everyone,
I’m currently trying to configure Tailscale so that it runs via a Headscale server. I added the following under Operation Mode “Custom” (O), point 4:

--reset --login-server=https://headscale.8x9.synology.me --auth-key=hskey-auth-PDxxxte --advertise-exit-node --advertise-routes=192.168.178.0/24

After the message output, I can no longer press any key or select any menu option. Even a reboot doesn’t help, as it always stops at that point.


Can anyone help? Did I make a formatting mistake? I already have two clients running via Headscale, and now I want to use this one as an exit node as well.


Best regards

 

[JGrana]

Could it be that your authkey has timed out? I believe it is only valid for one hour once it is created on the server.

 

[Viktor Jaep]

@Kenji ... I haven't looked at command usage in a hot minute, but I'd be worried about using that --reset command as a regular thing. I thought it was only to be used to reset settings back to vanilla if you run into issues? And you would only want to use that command just 1X... then leave it off for regular command usage? That might explain why it's being non-responsive for you after running that command. That, and I have never played with headscale, so that's new territory for us.

If you do figure this out, please don't hesitate to post some detailed instructions on what you had to do to get it all working!

Hello everyone,

Thank you for the feedback. I have now managed to get everything up and running.

I installed Headscale using the helper script on a Proxmox server in my LAN (where I’m also running Pi-hole). So far, I’ve only been able to access the interface (UI) via the internal IP address — the reverse proxy is not working yet. However, that wasn’t actually the main issue.

The real problem was that I had configured the wrong DNS IP address in my Asus router, so it wasn’t pointing to the Pi-hole. As a result, it couldn’t resolve the Synology DynDNS address.

I’m still a beginner, but in the end I worked through it step by step with the help of ChatGPT, which worked out quite well.

Personally, I would recommend simply buying a small €40 mini PC, installing Proxmox on it, and then running Headscale there. I’m still testing things, but at the moment it’s working with all of my devices. I’m using a single user and generating separate auth keys for each device.
