Using Tailscale on your Ubuntu server running AMP can be pretty handy for secure, remote access! Here’s how it might affect your setup and what you can expect:
Effects on Connection
-
Secure Access: Tailscale creates a secure VPN-like mesh network, allowing you and your pals to connect to the server without exposing it to the public internet.
-
Seamless Access: With Tailscale, you can access your AMP server using its private Tailscale IP. This can simplify connections and improve security by not needing to open ports to the internet.
-
Local-Like Performance: It usually feels like you’re still connected locally, ensuring good performance unless your internet is having a bad day.
Remote Connection to AMP
-
Tailscale IP: Once installed, you’ll get a Tailscale-assigned IP for the server. Use this IP to connect to your AMP interface from anywhere.
-
Direct Connection: Since you’re already connected to a Tailscale network, accessing AMP should be as simple as accessing a local IP in a browser.
-
Firewall/Ports: With Tailscale, you generally don’t bother with port forwarding and firewall rules on the public internet side—everything is handled over the Tailscale network.
Setup
- Install Tailscale: Get it onto your Ubuntu server if you haven’t already.
- Log in and Authorize: Log into Tailscale using the same credentials you used for other devices on your network.
- Use Tailscale IP: Once connected, use the server’s Tailscale IP to access AMP.
With Tailscale, you’ll benefit from easy access management and improved security. Let me know how it goes or if you need more tips on setting it up!
