Your other devices can reach this PS5 at its Tailscale address, from anywhere: FTP, the
payload loader, Remote Play, anything that listens on the console.
The PS5 can reach a device on your tailnet through an address on the console itself. Set
that up under "Reach a device from this PS5"; game streaming has its own panel.
It is not a full VPN. Games, PSN and the PS5's browser keep using your normal internet
connection, the console's public IP address does not change, and the console cannot use an exit node. The
PS5 has no way to route its own traffic through Tailscale.

Reach a device from this PS5
Apps and the browser on the PS5 cannot open tailnet addresses. Add the device and the port you
need, and on the PS5 use the address shown for it instead.
Example: a media server on port 8096 of my-nas becomes 127.0.0.1:8096 on the
PS5. Pages that insist on their own name, and HTTPS sites, may not work this way. Game streaming has its own
panel below.
Game streaming (Moonlight to Sunshine)
Apps on the PS5 cannot reach tailnet addresses directly. List the devices that run Sunshine and
their streaming ports are made available on this console. In your Moonlight client on the PS5 (for example
ProsperoLight), add the address shown for each host.
Port is Sunshine's own port setting; leave it empty for the default (47989). Two hosts need
different ports.
Wake a device at home
A sleeping PC cannot be reached over Tailscale, but this console is on the same home network and
can send it a Wake-on-LAN packet. Open this page from wherever you are, press Wake, wait half a minute, then
connect. The device needs Wake-on-LAN turned on, and a wired connection works best.
The address is the network card's MAC address, such as 00:11:22:AA:BB:CC. On Windows
it is the "Physical address" shown by ipconfig /all.

Diagnostics is one text file with the logs, version and settings, for
attaching to a bug report. E-mail addresses, your tailnet's name, public IP addresses and the password are
removed; device names are not. Read it before posting it.
