Hey I am running tailscale serve on one of my machine in my tailnet. I am trying to share that service with one of my fiend. I invited them into my tailnet but given them my tailscale service address. They cannot open that link successfully.

Am I doing something wrong?

First thing to check (aside from them successfully having connected to the tailnet) is that your ACL isn't blocking anything

yeah I was with them in person. I made sure tailscale got installed. I don think I have seen their device though.

is there an option for them to choose to connect my tailnet specifically? instead of their own

And if you don't see the device in the admin dashboard they've never connected. In which case it makes sense that it doesn't work 😅

okay selecting tailnet seems to be happening during sign-in page on iOS
