@Sskanse, thanks very much for the quick reply, but it looks very complicated and a bit scary.

in the past, i owned and used the micro-router usb stick and ar-705s-ext and would not expect them to support tailscale.

so, i spent a lot of money to purchase a new router with tailscale.
now, only to find the version of tailscale is approx. 15 months old!

i really would prefer an official solution from gl-inet.

It is neither complicated nor scary. Very easy and straightforward with only a couple of clicks.

ok, but now there are two ways, which one to choose?

@admon, thanks much for the quick reply.
i noticed that
--no-tiny Uses full Tailscale binaries instead of tiny version
as i would prefer not using unknown third-party binaries.
no disrespect to you ;wink

i think i have space for it and if i have a lack of space problem in the future, i could --restore
the reason i purchased the ml3000 is that it has 256MiB flash.
with my old ar-750s-ext, space was always an issue

correct?

great that there seems to be many ways to solve my problem.

I install luci, and noticed that under software there is

Try them all if you’d like but I told you which one I’m using at the moment.

I use @admon 's script too. Simple, easy to redo after a FW update, options, good for small units with low memory.

I would recommend to trust my binaries since they even contain fixes developed by GL itself :wink: But you are welcome to use --no-tiny if you like to.
