# Tailscale
I made my Tailscale account with the email noesfacilvivirsinemail<
do-not-parse-me>at<please>gmail<seriously>.com.
On Umbrel it just works magically, no clue on how it's rolling.
On my phone it's just an app.
On navaja, I decided to install it straightaway, without docker. I followed
the instructions here: https://tailscale.com/kb/1038/install-debian-bullseye/.
```shell
curl -fsSL https://pkgs.tailscale.com/stable/debian/bullseye.noarmor.gpg | sudo tee /usr/share/keyrings/tailscale-archive-keyring.gpg >/dev/null
curl -fsSL https://pkgs.tailscale.com/stable/debian/bullseye.tailscale-keyring.list | sudo tee /etc/apt/sources.list.d/tailscale.list
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install tailscale
sudo tailscale up
# In between here, you need to login through the browser
# A link will appear. It takes you to a tailscale page where you need to enter
# your credentials.
tailscale ip -4
```
## TUN
The first time I tried to run tailscale on a Hostinger VPS, I got the following
error: `failed to connect to local tailscaled; it doesn't appear to be running
(sudo systemctl start tailscaled ?)`
I read something about some stuff called `TUN` on a forum, and realised that
the VPS panel in hostinger had a switch with the title: `TUN/TAP Adapter: It's
a virtual network adapter that will allow you to set up a VPN on your server.
`. I activated it (comes off by default) and that did the trick.
