#### The easiest, most secure way to use WireGuard and 2FA

A secure network that just works Zero config VPN.

Installs on any device in minutes, manages firewall rules for you, and works from anywhere.

After installing this snap, visit the Tailscale documentation at <https://tailscale.com/kb/1017/install> to get started.

**Confinement**

The snap is strictly confined, and this currently brings some limitations.

* `tailscale ssh` will not work.
* `ssh` over the tailscale network will not work if tailscale ssh mode is enabled (ie. if you have configured `tailscale set --ssh`). To fix this, disable tailscale ssh: `tailscale set --ssh=false`.
* `tailscale update` will not work: to update tailscale, please refresh the snap.
* `tailscale file cp` and `tailscale cert` will only work with file paths accessible to the snap, for example `/home/ubuntu/snap/tailscale/common/foo.txt`. See <https://snapcraft.io/docs/data-locations> for a full list of paths.
* `tailscale drive share` will not work (the client command succeeds, the share is registered, but you will see errors in tailscaled logs and the share will not be accessible).

**Security**

See <https://github.com/canonical/tailscale-snap/blob/main/docs/security-reference.md>
for security and hardening documentation.

**Support**

If any malfunction with Tailscale features is observed, where this issue is not observed in Tailscale installed from a source other than the snap, please open an issue at <https://github.com/canonical/tailscale-snap/issues> .
To report something related to Tailscale itself, please see <https://github.com/tailscale/tailscale/issues> .

This snap is maintained by Canonical, and is not necessarily endorsed or officially maintained by the upstream developers.
