Fields

state_directory

The directory where the Tailscale state is stored.

tailscale is used by default.

Example: $HOME/.tailscale

auth_key

!!! note

Auth key is not required. By default, sing-box will log the login URL (or popup a notification on graphical clients).

The auth key to create the node. If the node is already created (from state previously stored), then this field is not used.

control_url

The coordination server URL.

https://controlplane.tailscale.com is used by default.

ephemeral

Indicates whether the instance should register as an Ephemeral node (https://tailscale.com/s/ephemeral-nodes).

hostname

The hostname of the node.

System hostname is used by default.

Example: localhost

accept_routes

Indicates whether the node should accept routes advertised by other nodes.

exit_node

The exit node name or IP address to use.

exit_node_allow_lan_access

!!! note

When the exit node does not have a corresponding advertised route, private traffics cannot be routed to the exit node even if `exit_node_allow_lan_access is` set.

Indicates whether locally accessible subnets should be routed directly or via the exit node.

advertise_routes

CIDR prefixes to advertise into the Tailscale network as reachable through the current node.

Example: ["192.168.1.1/24"]

advertise_exit_node

Indicates whether the node should advertise itself as an exit node.

udp_timeout

UDP NAT expiration time.

5m will be used by default.

Dial Fields

!!! note

Dial Fields in Tailscale endpoints only control how it connects to the control plane and have nothing to do with actual connections.

See Dial Fields for details.
