Secure remote access to Linux via SSH over Tailscale
This article describes how to securely access a local Linux machine remotely via SSH. The primary audience are engineers and researchers working with dedicated hardware behind a NAT, router, or similar. Researchers often work with dedicated machines that live in the lab or at home. This can be because they need to run experiments which require a lot of compute power or because they need to access hardware that is not available on a cloud server. Since these machines typically do not have public IP addresses, accessing them remotely can seem tricky. When a lab mate asked me, “how can I access my computer at home”, I failed to find a good online resource that describes how to do this in a convenient and secure manner. That’s why I decided to write this quick tutorial. ...
