GL-AXT1800 Tailscale update

Should be not a deal to update manually, I would say:
https://pkgs.tailscale.com/stable/#static

Same here. Still on “1.32.2-dev-t” but technically, everything seems to be working with recent clients running “1.56.1”

The only thing is I cannot figure out how to enable Tailscale DNS servers once the GL-AXT1800 connects. I have an exit point and when it connects, it should update the DHCP client’s DNS servers from the automatic defaults to the Tailscale DNS servers.

Can anyone point me in the right way, how to update?

Tailscale admin page is now saying that the current version has a known security vulnerability. Looks like might have to take this offline my network and not take the risk

Sorry if I’m asking a question that’s already been answered - - - but can someone pls point us to “How to upgrade Tailscale on the GL-AXT1800” ?

Can this be done? or is this still being developed?
Tailscale admin page, shows the following msg:

Security update available

This machine is running a version with a known security vulnerability. It’s recommended to update to 1.58.2.

Follow these instructions to update this machine.

But I can’t seem to find an easy way to upgrade the software on the GL-AXT1800 - any advice would be appreciated.

sorry but I get an error:

–2024-01-26 00:06:48-- https://raw.githubusercontent.com/Admonstrator/glinet.forum/main/scripts/update-tailscale/update-tailscale.sh
Resolving raw.githubusercontent.com… failed: Try again.
wget: unable to resolve host address ‘raw.githubusercontent.com
root@GL-AXT1800:~#

Then something is wrong with your router because it can’t reach any DNS services.
What does nslookup raw.githubusercontent.com say?

root@GL-AXT1800:~# raw.githubusercontent.com

-ash: raw.githubusercontent.com: not found

root@GL-AXT1800:~#

The nslookup part is necessary as well.

I get the similar error on another GL-AXT1800 on a different network…

root@GL-AXT1800:~# wget -O update-tailscale.sh https://raw.githubusercontent.com

/Admonstrator/glinet.forum/main/scripts/update-tailscale/update-tailscale.sh \

&& sh update-tailscale.sh

As I wrote before, please check if DNS resolving is working.
If it does not work, any updates will fail anyway.

Your router needs to have an active DNS server (or at least acting like a client)


I can’t tell you what’s wrong with your network, I guess someone disabled DNS due to … I don’t know.
But I can say for 100% this isn’t an issue with my script.

of course - I hope I didn’t suggest the error was caused by your script / I’m sure the error is on my part…

Forgive me, but where can I check to see that my DNS settings are correct?

Within the GL GUI there are several places.
Network > DNS for example. Or within the WAN interface.

I have “manual” selected with the Google dns servers selected…

btw, I’m accessing this router from a distance through Tailscale… would that matter?

In that case, I can’t really help you, since these issues are serious, and I don’t know how you configured your router. By default, DNS is working, so it must be something that you changed.

Maybe, not sure. I don’t use Tailscale at all.
During the update Tailscale will be stopped as well - so it’s advised to use another method of connecting.

ok - Thank You, for your input

sorry - 1 more question: I ssh into the router using Terminal and then perform your script, correct?
Or is it done through Luci?
