OpenWRT SSH access

#1

I know Tailscale should run on OpenWRT.

If I set it up, can I configure it in such a way that I can SSH into the OpenWRT device from the Tailscale network? If so, are there any specific settings I would have to make to enable this?

Just wanted to make sure this is possible.

#2

I just started playing around with this, I can manage to ssh into the OpenWrt router if it is connected to the internet via cable, if it acts as a Wi-Fi client, I can’t figure it out.

Feel free to share some info if by now you have more insight into this matter.

#3

it should work, as it works on Homeassistant. You can access the machine running Tailscale with it’s own IP.

hi,

— wanted to know if you are still using tailscale on openwrt?
— what has your experience been so far?

can you share a basic advise of what needs to be done?
not asking for major details, just the directions i should follow.

thanks much,

update : in the end, i got it working well.

Would you mind sharing a few of your steps? I’m able to access openwrt interface via tailscale but I am struggling to route traffic through and DNS queries tailscale

hmm, it was all working on my old AR750S-EXT

but with my shiny, new and running very hot, ATX1800, i am having issues with tailscale.

i just logged into the forum, to look for help and i noticed your post.

now that i am thinking about it, maybe the difference is:
— AXT1800, i installed the official tailscale package from openwrt, using luci.
— AR750S, i followed a tutorial, step by step, creating service files, etc. from command line
so maybe i will remove the official package and try hand-to-hand computational combat.
