Tailscale doesn't need special handling for SSH. You can run your plain old sshd just fine.
Tailscale comes with an additional SSH server, which runs in parallel with your other SSH server. It does use Wireguard keys directly, so effectively you don't need to manage keys.
Additionally, this SSH server is implemented in userspace, so it won't (can't) interfere with anything else on your system (like your other sshd).
- jiveturkey 2y agothere is no kernel ssh. all ssh’s operate completely in userspace.
- 4ad 2y agoOops, I meant the TCP/IP stack. Tailscale SSH uses a userspace network stack.
