System Documentation

What problem does it solve?

Cloud GPU instances are often behind NATs or firewalls, making secure SSH access difficult without exposing ports. This guide explains how to leverage the Tailscale mesh VPN to provide direct, authenticated access to RunPod, Vast.ai, Lambda Labs, and Paperspace, with a persistent IP and no public exposure.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Direct SSH access without port forwarding
  • Persistent IP across pod restarts
  • Secure end-to-end encryption via WireGuard
  • No exposed ports to the public internet

Quick Start

Install tailscale, start tailscaled in container mode with a persistent state path, and enable SSH access by running tailscale up --ssh.
