Should work on every device, so give it a try 
Yup works perfectly. Awesome - thank you!
Never had an issue with @admon script until today when I attempted to update my MT3000/Berly AX.
This is the error I receive:

Seems like you can't connect by IPv6 - maybe disabling it on the router can fix this.
Thank you @admon I Enabled IPv6 on the router and then disabled it. I ran your script again and it worked flawlessly.

Just did this on a Flint2 and it works well (I have 1.66.4 now). Thanks

One thing I would like to ask the author: Is it possible to make the exit node stay active and not stop advertising after a restart or after some time? This is the script I used to turn it on:
tailscale up --advertise-exit-node --accept-dns=false --accept-routes
Thanks a lot

The script was updated to use pre-built tiny tailscale versions, which will save plenty of space. On MT6000 (Flint2) the difference is from 40 MiB to 6 MiB!

Thanks @admon do you recommend running the script again since you updated it?
Yep, totally recommend!

love the script / works great
but can I gently suggest a different colour, other than yellow?
It's very difficult to read to following, for example:
┌──────────────────────────────────────────────────┐

└──────────────────────────────────────────────────┘
Yellow is bad to read but the white is fine? Or do you use a light terminal with black font?
yes / On MacOS, standard is white background with black text.... however I updated my terminal settings to make my background black...
FWIW on a Mac - open Terminal.
Choose Terminal ->Settings -> select, "On startup, open: (select from dropdown) PRO
This will turn your background to Black...
No, it's not weird. The tiny tailscale version is build based of the latest release available on GitHub. Since Tailscale did not update the version there, the newest version isn't available yet.
You can use the big binaries by adding ← not needed anymore, my script was updated to do it automatically.--no-tiny or you simply need to wait until they update the codebase.

Thanks for the explanation.
Tried to install on AXT1800 latest firmware using the suggested --ignore-free-space flag
Was unfortunately not successful even after restarting both tailscale and then the router, any ideas?
