How do I find my Tailscale machine name?

You can use the command 'tailscale status' or the specific JSON query provided by this skill to retrieve your DNS name and Tailscale IP.

Why do I need to bind my server to 0.0.0.0?

Binding to 0.0.0.0 allows the server to listen on all network interfaces, including the Tailscale interface, making it reachable from other devices in your tailnet.

Is my development server exposed to the public internet?

No, traffic stays strictly within your Tailscale network (tailnet), providing a secure way to share work without public port forwarding.

Does this skill work with Next.js and Vite?

Yes, it includes specific instructions for binding Next.js, Vite, and Deno/Fresh servers to the correct host for Tailscale access.
