The command "sudo tailscale up" is used to bring up and start the Tailscale VPN network on a Unix-based system.
Here's a breakdown of each component of the command:
- "sudo": It is a command that allows the user to execute commands with administrative or root privileges. It may prompt for the user's password to authenticate before running the command.
- "tailscale": It is the name of the command-line executable for Tailscale, which is a secure, encrypted, and mesh-based VPN solution.
- "up": It is a command or option within the Tailscale executable that initiates the establishment of the VPN network. It starts the Tailscale daemon or service, which connects the system to the Tailscale network.
By using "sudo" before the command, you are running the "tailscale up" command with elevated privileges, giving it the necessary permissions to set up and start the VPN network.
