Find your Tailscale IP address

How Tailscale assigns IP addresses

Tailscale makes it easy to connect to your Tailscale network (known as a tailnet) by providing you with a stable IP address for each node such as a device or a server.

These addresses stay the same, no matter where nodes move to in the physical world, making them easy to manage and share with non-technical users.

By default, every device receives an IP address in the 100.x.y.z rangearrow-up-right. This IP address is auto-assigned based on the device and authorization credentials and cannot be changed by hand.

On Tailscale v1.8 or later you can use the tailscale ip command. Use the --4 flag to only return an IPv4 address.

tailscale ip --4

On any version of Tailscale, you can also find the IP address by using the system ip utility:

ip addr show tailscale0
