Actually, for Tailscale, your friends will need to have Tailscale installed on their devices too. It’s not just about knowing the IP address; Tailscale creates a secure mesh network that requires each device to be part of the same Tailscale network. Here’s a quick rundown:
What Your Friends Need to Do:
-
Install Tailscale: They need to download and install Tailscale on their computers or devices where they’ll be playing.
-
Log In to Your Tailscale Network: They’ll log into Tailscale using an account that’s part of the same Tailscale network as you, which allows their device to connect securely.
-
Connect via Tailscale IP: Once connected, they can use your server’s Tailscale IP or domain to access the server.
Tailscale makes it feel like everyone’s on the same local network, adding security and convenience. So, have them hop on board with Tailscale, and you should be good to go!
