tailscale ipv6 server question
Hello,
This is somewhat a stupid question but if my vps server provider only supplied an ipv6 address, could I use tailscale and access services through it using the ipv4 address tailscale usually provides me? Does tailscale provide an ipv4 address if the server is only ipv6?
Comments
accessible via both
yes tailscale provides one and it can be only used inside your own tailscale devices which you registered there, that means its not accessible via public [I did this and this was my conclusion]
Tailscale doesn’t provide any IPv4/IPv6 addresses just helping you to manage VPN network, you need to read their website
Thank you both for responding
I have an IPv6 only server running Tailscale and the tailscale0 interface has both IPv4 and IPv6 addresses that are routable on the Tailnet.
I haven't tried routing traffic between an IPv6-only server and an IPv4-only server, (because I don't have one to test with), but I assume it would have to relay the traffic between the nodes via one of Tailscale's STUN servers and that would cause some increase in latency. However, it would certainly work and the impact wouldn't be significant.
Wat? they do provide 1IPv4 and IPv6 address too w/ something like 100.XX.XX.XX and you can use that to access your registered devices from the devices also in the same account like they require at least 2 devices to get started [Please correct me if I am wrong
]
These addresses are for internal network use only and do not have the possibility of public network access.
You can get the internal IPs on any device, try 127.0.0.1 or 192.168.1.1
Yeah I know that, I just forgot to mention
Reason I asked this was because I was considering buying a host-c IPv6 server for Vaultwarden. I’m not too sure how reliable their servers are, support times, or how long they are going to be operational for though
I bought an ipv6 vps and any app I install gets fked up by messing the IP address so on that note I wouldn't recommend it but maybe its also because I dunno much and would appreciate other's input in this since I am also looking to make the vps work
I tried Dockploy and Coolify [both of them are based on docker I think so maybe the issue lies in the config but I really dunno] BTW correct me if I am wrong but vaultwarden is also based on docker right ?
Yes, i will be using the vaultwarden docker.
I’m running Vaultwarden Docker on my Raspberry Pi 3B+ (which is indeed quite risky since the SD card could fail at any time), but I’ve set up regular backups to OneDrive.
Vaultwarden requires very few resources. I'm running it on a VPS with 1GB of RAM, (with an Nginx reverse proxy), and it's running fine. It also doesn't need constant host/client synchronisation so the provider doesn't even need to be that stable either.
The main thing is to keep it completely secure, (isolated from the rest of your Tailnet), so you'll want to checkout Tailscale's ACLs to make sure that only your client(s) can access it whilst the rest of your network is blocked from that VPS
