Enabling Remote Access with Tailscale
Requirements: CoreSSH Server, Tailscale
Introduction
You can make CoreSSH Server accessible remotely using a Tailscale private network. Tailscale creates a device-to-device network where only your approved machines can communicate with each other.
This approach allows you to access CoreSSH Server across networks and Tailscale handles the connectivity. As long as both machines are logged into the same tailnet, they can connect to each other.
Before you get started
All that is required is to sign up at Tailscale, install and log in to the Tailscale app on:
- The machine where CoreSSH Server is running
- Any client system
There is no additional network configuration required.
Connecting to CoreSSH Server
After installing Tailscale on the CoreSSH Server machine, the machine will be accessible from your other tailnet devices by the tailnet device name (the machine name by default).
Assuming CoreSSH Server is running on the default port 22, then from any other system (anywhere in the world) just run:
sftp user@<your-machine-name>
