How to solve the problem of not being able to connect to the Internet when configuring Tailscale’s Exit node with Linode

自動翻訳(Auto Translation)

I was using Tailscale’s Exit node on a Linode (Akamai Cloud) VPS for fixed IP purposes,

The new node that we started to build around mid-2024 was not able to connect to the Internet.

Coping Methods

Select “Ubuntu 20.04 LTS” as the OS when creating the VPS.

In checking Tailscale defects (Issues), it has been reported that it worked correctly at least on Ubuntu 21.04 and earlier.

Selecting “Ubuntu 20.04 LTS” as the closest version on Linode will solve the problem for now.

A few words…

Linode is the best VPS to use for Tailscale’s Exit node.

The speed of communication is very different!
