You gotta sign into your Tailscale account and renew the key

I can’t. It won’t let me leave this page.

Like go to Tailscales website on a different device or different tab and log in

I’m offering a 100,000 Sat reward to anyone who can help me get it working. We can FaceTime or zoom or whatever to get it figured out

This happened to me just log in to Tailscale on a different device. If you don’t remember your password you can reset it but it should be your email

It’s thru my umbrel so I don’t even remember making one. I’ll check.

You must have at some point. Tailscale requires an email. Once you get logged in you’ll wanna click on the node under devices and then there will be an option to reset key expiry or make it so the key never expires.

I just did that. There were 2 expired. Renewed each one individually and it didn’t work

Are you logging in via the Tailscale IP or umbrel.local? If you take the nodes Tailscale IP address and put it in a browser it should work

I went to their website outside of the node. It let me sign in with an old email but I can’t say for certain that it’s for this node and not my old because It doesn’t work when I reauthenticate the key

Hmm have you used Tailscale for other things before? Id assume that would be one of the few uses? Either way you should take the Tailscale IP address of those devices and copy/paste into a browser bar. See if it’ll pull up the umbrel login screen. You’re signing in using Umbrel.local which uses the local network. Instead you’ll login via the Tailscale wire guard vpn it should be numbers like 100.105.201.6 or something like that

Make sure you don’t have https// before it in the browser bar

What if I make a new tailscale account? Will it automatically connect to it or do I have to link it

Nah has to be the one you used for your node account. Otherwise you can also use AngryIP to scan your network, find the IP of your node in the list and use that IP to sign in.

Unfortunately I am not tech savvy. Idk how to do that and I still have not figured it out

You go to angryip.com download it, run a scan and then find the thing in the list that says umbrel. Then you take the IP address and plug it into google. I taught myself all of this from not coming from a coding or computer background
