Configure Tailscale clients to use a custom control server

The Tailscale clients allow you to specify a custom control server URL instead of the default https://controlplane.tailscale.com server. If you are using a self-managed deployment of Headscale as your control plane, use your Headscale instance's URL.

  1. Tap the user profile icon in the top right corner of the Tailscale app to open the Settings menu.
    1. If you are not signed into any other tailnets, tap the Log in menu item. Otherwise, tap the signed-in user.
    2. Tap the ellipsis icon menu in the top right corner, then select Use a custom coordination server.
    3. Enter the custom control server URL and tap Log in.
