tailscale-up: Reset unspecified settings to their default values and connect.
$ sudo tailscale up --reset
try on your machine

The command sudo tailscale up --reset is used to establish a secure connection to the Tailscale network while resetting any existing settings or configurations.

Here's a breakdown of the command:

  • sudo: It is a command used in Unix-like operating systems to run a program with elevated privileges. It allows the user to execute a command as a superuser or root user.

  • tailscale: It is the executable binary for the Tailscale software. Tailscale is a secure private network solution that enables encrypted communication between devices or services across the internet.

  • up: It is an option or command to initiate the Tailscale connection.

  • --reset: It is an additional flag or option provided to the tailscale up command, instructing it to reset the existing settings or configurations. Using this flag will clear any previously established Tailscale settings and start fresh.

By running sudo tailscale up --reset, you are essentially starting Tailscale with elevated privileges and resetting any existing Tailscale configurations before establishing a new secure connection to the network.
