Tailscale is a WireGuard-based app that makes secure, private networks easy for teams of any scale. It’s a zero config VPN. Installs on any device in minutes, manages firewall rules for you, and works from anywhere.
No config files, no firewall ports. Create a secure network between your servers, computers, and cloud instances. Even when separated by firewalls or subnets, Tailscale just works.
logs can be found in /opt/Tailscale/tailscale.txt

The app installs fine, but for some reason when I start Tailscale the tailscale.txt that is put into the public folder is blank. So I cannot authenticate the server, is anyone else having this problem?

Installed on TS-212P (ARM-X19), TS-563 & TS-664 (NASX86). Finding the tailscale.txt file in order to authenticate was the only issue on the newer units (QTS 5.0.1). On the older unit (QTS 4.3.3), it was necessary to install the QVPN app in order to enable /dev/net/tun needed by tailscale. Also I needed to adjust the order of the init.d scripts in /etc/rcS.d so QVPN starts before tailscale. Even with this modification, I needed to add a ‘sleep 60’ in the Tailscale.sh script just before the ‘tailscaled’ line. Otherwise tailscale attempts to start before QVPN is ready. See this link for instructions on finding the tailscale.txt file.

I just used the URL in tailscale.txt, not the command shown in the reddit article.
Very happy I am able to use tailscale on all my QNAP devices, even the old one.

Won’t install on my TS-231K. I’ve tried 1.36.1 from QNAP Club which installs but won’t appear on the desktop. Can’t give more than 1 star but it may be my fault for trying to install on an incompatible device. Sorry.

Works great!
