Installation

1. Download the arm64 ZIP package from Releases.

3. Reboot, tap the module action button to connect, and follow the sign-in instructions. KernelSU users can also open the module page and choose Sign in to Tailscale.

Usage

After running su in adb shell or a terminal, use tailscale directly. Use tailscaled to start, stop, restart or check the service.

Use the module action button in your manager to connect or disconnect. KernelSU users can also open the settings page to manage subnet routes, incoming connections and LAN access when using an exit node. Switch changes take effect immediately.

Tap a local address to copy it. The Devices page lets you search visible devices, check online status and copy names or addresses.

To update Tailscale on its own, choose Stable or Preview under Binary updates in Settings. Your account and preferences are retained. For module interface and feature updates, install the new module package and reboot. Uninstalling the module deletes its account and preferences.
