Brume 2 disconnecting from tailscale after reboot / power outage

Technical Support for Routers

as the title suggests, it looks like my Brume 2 is disconnecting from tailscale anytime there is a power outage / reboot.

i work remotely abroad, and use my brume 2 as an exit node (from the states). i carry my beryl ax with me so i can connect to the brume 2 while abroad. a couple days ago, there was a power outage back home, and it kicked my brume offline from tailscale.

i had a family member (back home) log into the gli page, and they had to disable / reenable tailscale, which brought it back online. however, after a few tests, i realized that whether it be a power outage, or manually rebooting the brume, it would kick it off, and needed to manually be togged back off/on.

is there anyway to program it to manually connect to tailscale after rebooting? i may not have someone back home always immediately available to reenable it for me after power outages, etc.

obviously it's a huge inconvenience for me, because my employer does NOT allow for work outside of my state. i am potentially at risk of losing my job if i get caught.

How to set up the exit node (Network export device) in the Brume 2? Default firmware does not support it.

Can try delay 60 second to restart the Tailscale process when the router reboot

in the /etc/rc.local

sleep 60
/etc/init.d/tailscale restart

thank you, i'll give that a shot! but what commands do i run after i ssh into the brume? im not quite sure how to get into that directory.

i know tailscale is still in beta, but unfortunately my ISP doesn't allow port forwarding, so i can't use openvpn/wireguard. on that note, would you also happen to know if it'll eventually become natively supported? the hardware seems to run it perfectly fine, when it's running at least.

vi /etc/rc.local

Tailscale probably will always in beta in the GL firmware, since the new GL service AstroWarp is coming soon, similar to Tailscale.

thank you!

and that’s awesome! any idea when that’ll launch? will it also be natively supported & be able to automatically run upon reboot? that would solve my issue completely

It will definitely support automatic running. Even the Tailscale as well as.

I am not sure if there are other configurations that cause Tailscale to not run automatically.
You can use ps | grep tailscale or tailscale status to check whether the Tailscale process is running after the router is started and not have autorun in the rc.local

AstroWarp in public beta with the v4.7.0

goddammit… that command rebooted my brume, and kicked tailscale offline. i’m 2000 miles away from home so i’m screwed. now i can’t connect to my exit node.

if i get fired you owe me a job lol

lol Haa

That command is just restarting tailscale after the router booted later 60s, not cause tailscale to lose connectivity.

Can check the tailscale network, or whether its process is started.

ps | grep tailscale
tailscale status
