 Aurora Ennie Seidr (she / her) | Crap crap crap crap | 15:21:34 |
 K900 | You can still do normal SSH over Tailscale | 15:21:39 |
| K900 | Just not the magic tailscale ssh thing | 15:21:45 |
| Aurora Ennie Seidr (she / her) | So now I'm confused. | 15:21:59 |
| K900 | tailscale ssh basically makes the Tailscale app itself act as the SSH server for other things on your tailnet | 15:22:26 |
| K900 | You can't have that on Windows | 15:22:34 |
| Aurora Ennie Seidr (she / her) | If I install this, it's not going to let me in unless I mess with my router to do nat just like I was trying to avoid then? | 15:22:41 |
| K900 | But you can have a normal SSH server | 15:22:41 |
| K900 | It will connect just fine | 15:22:52 |
| Aurora Ennie Seidr (she / her) | In reply to @k900:0upti.me
But you can have a normal SSH server The one you linked? | 15:22:58 |
| K900 | But you'll have to install an SSH server yourself | 15:23:02 |
| K900 | Yes | 15:23:03 |
| Aurora Ennie Seidr (she / her) | Okay.... I think I get it | 15:23:39 |
 nzbr (they/it) | Tailscale can route any traffic that can go over a WireGuard tunnel, so for example a regular SSH server
Tailscale ssh is where the Tailscale daemon runs it's own ssh server on the VPN interface specifically to enable the magic auth through the Tailscale account | 15:24:03 |
| Aurora Ennie Seidr (she / her) | I'm not sure what wireguard is to be honest | 15:24:38 |
| Aurora Ennie Seidr (she / her) | I thought ssh was it's own protocol | 15:24:56 |
| Aurora Ennie Seidr (she / her) | And was encrypted with rsa | 15:25:05 |
| K900 | Wireguard is just an implementation detail here really | 15:25:35 |
| K900 | You don't need to think about it | 15:25:56 |
| K900 | Tailscale just gives you a magic overlay network | 15:26:02 |
| Aurora Ennie Seidr (she / her) | I think I initially went zerotier because it was getting around ISP port blocking it whatever | 15:26:01 |
| K900 | That can route any traffic | 15:26:06 |
| K900 | Including SSH | 15:26:13 |
| Aurora Ennie Seidr (she / her) | * I think I initially went zerotier because it was getting around ISP port blocking or whatever | 15:26:17 |
| Aurora Ennie Seidr (she / her) | Okay so I have a new problem (upon reflection). This openssh connection means that I have to use powershell to start a WSL connection initially. How do I reconnect to that already existing vm that I may have been disconnected from without launching an entirely new one? | 15:45:43 |
| Aurora Ennie Seidr (she / her) | If I'm remoting into what amounts to a small bastion host the VM I spawn has to be reachable | 15:47:05 |
| Aurora Ennie Seidr (she / her) | What's powershell 's version of "reconnect to this instead of launching new" ? | 15:47:49 |
| Aurora Ennie Seidr (she / her) | Linux has screen | 15:48:11 |
| Aurora Ennie Seidr (she / her) | Screen -rd (id name here) | 15:48:34 |
| Aurora Ennie Seidr (she / her) | The research I'm doing says I'm hosed | 15:50:52 |
