Reachability by region

Each region runs its own request from a different part of the world. A service can be up for one continent and down for another, which is usually the first sign of a routing or CDN problem.

What Tailscale does

Tailscale builds a private mesh network between a company's machines using WireGuard, with a coordination service that distributes keys and routes and relay servers for connections that cannot go direct. Teams reach production servers and internal tools through it, so an incident can cut off administrative access exactly when it is needed.

What an outage looks like

New devices fail to join the network and existing ones cannot re-authenticate when their key expires. Connections that were already established often keep working, because traffic flows peer to peer rather than through Tailscale. Connections depending on relays degrade or drop. The admin console and API return errors, blocking access changes and device approvals.

What to do about it

Check status.tailscale.com, which lists the Coordination service, DERP relay servers, the admin console, the API and Certificates as separate components. Existing peer-to-peer connections usually survive a coordination outage, so avoid logging out, restarting the client, or rebooting machines: re-authentication needs the service that is currently down and is what actually removes your access.

Is it down for everyone, or just you?

If this page says Tailscale is up but it is not loading for you, the problem is between you and them. Run a check against any URL from all 18 regions to find out where it breaks.

Tailscale outage FAQ

Will I lose access to my servers if Tailscale goes down?
Usually not immediately. Tailscale sends traffic directly between machines, so tunnels already established keep carrying traffic during a coordination outage. What fails is anything needing the control plane: adding a device, re-authenticating an expired key, or changing access rules. Avoid restarting the client, since reconnecting requires the service that is unavailable.
Why did my connection drop when others stayed up?
Connections that cannot establish a direct path fall back to DERP relay servers, which Tailscale operates and reports as their own component. If your path depends on a relay, a relay incident drops it while colleagues on direct peer-to-peer connections notice nothing. Network topology, not account state, explains most of these uneven experiences.
What happens when a node key expires during an outage?
The device drops off the network and cannot rejoin until the coordination service returns, because re-authentication runs through it. This is the scenario that turns a mild incident into a lockout. Disabling key expiry on critical infrastructure, or keeping a separate emergency access path, is worth arranging before you need it rather than during.
Should I have a break-glass path that does not use Tailscale?
For anything you must reach during an incident, yes. A console through your cloud provider, a bastion on a public address with strong authentication, or physical access all serve. Tailscale becoming the sole route to production means a control plane incident and a production incident can arrive together, which is the situation worth designing out.
Does a Tailscale outage expose my network?
No. Traffic is encrypted end to end with WireGuard between your own machines, and a coordination outage means keys and routes are not being distributed rather than that anything is opened up. The failure mode is losing connectivity and the ability to change configuration, not losing the protection the network provides.

How we measure this

  • We request Tailscale's public endpoint every 6 hours from Fly.io regions across six continents — 8 of them answered the most recent check.
  • A region counts as down only when it gets no usable HTTP response. A 403 or 429 means the origin answered and refused us, which we report as blocked, never as an outage.
  • A single failing region is treated as probe noise. We only change the verdict when two consecutive cycles agree.
  • Response times average only the regions that actually served the page, so a timeout never inflates the number.
  • Where Tailscale publishes an official status feed we read it too, and let it override us in both directions.
