People of Lemmy. I’m trying (and failing) to get a friend onto my Tailnet. These are the steps: (1) I send them an invite. (2) They accept it. (3) I approve it. (4) They open the app and login. And … nothing. They don’t show up as connected on my admin panel and they can’t access any of my connected machines (IP address is fine). I feel like I’m missing something really obvious but can’t see what it is. Any ideas?
Firstly, what type of things are you trying to allow your friend to do on your tailnet? I’ve had trouble in the past trying to get friends to connect to game servers across tailnets, but have been fine connecting friends to things like Jellyfin. Any information on this might be helpful to look over.
Secondly, Have you checked out the ACLs? Access controls to your network can sometimes make things not play nice. Here is the docs on managing your Access control list.

I think I had a similar problem a couple weeks ago. Make sure they are adding the device to your tailnet, by default it adds the new machine to their own tailnet. I know I hit some kind of issue like that, at least.

Yep. It says they are a member of my network. But no dice.
