Install, configure, and troubleshoot the official Tailscale client when.
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
# tailscale-client
## Security preflight
Before enabling SSH, Serve, connector access or changing access policy, read the
bundle's [security triage](../../references/security-triage.md). Also load it for
Tailworm or suspected compromise. Preserve tested recovery access before disabling
embedded SSH; check mode is not a forwarding fix. Treat reported findings as
version-specific until current advisories establish applicability.
Confirm the target, scope, and rollback path before acting. Read-only discovery may proceed without confirmation.
## Overview
Tailscale is a WireGuard-based mesh VPN that connects devices into a secure
tailnet. When used with [Headscale](https://github.com/juanfont/headscale), a
self-hosted open-source control server, the official Tailscale client connects
via the `--login-server` flag instead of Tailscale's SaaS control plane.
This skill covers client-side installation, authentication, diagnostics, and
troubleshooting.

How to install
mdr add magnus919/agent-skills/tailscale-client@sha256:1f733239990b0383The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261026.dde5700, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
