Tailscale Pre Auth Key

Description

General

  • Documentation: https://tailscale.com/kb/1085/auth-keys/
  • Summary: Tailscale is a zero-configuration virtual private network (VPN) solution, making it simple to create secure networks between computers, servers, and cloud instances. Pre-authentication keys (“auth keys” for short) allow the customer to register new nodes without needing to sign in via a web browser. This is most useful when spinning up containers, IoT devices, or using infrastructure-as-code systems like Terraform.

Revoke the secret

The API keys expire quickly. They can also be revoked in the Tailscale Keys page.
