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 range. This IP address is auto-assigned based on the device and authorization credentials and cannot be changed by hand.

Finding your Tailscale IP address

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
