Blog post from Tailscale
The text explores the enhancements made to Tailscale on jailbroken Kindles, detailing how open-source developers have improved its functionality on these devices. An updated version of Mitanshu Sukhwani's Tailscale implementation now includes features such as Tailscale SSH enabled by default, a proxy mode allowing apps like KOReader to connect to other nodes on a tailnet, and a full TUN mode for enhanced device-level networking on some Kindles. This setup can facilitate connections to servers like Calibre or Wallabag and enable various utilities on the Kindle, such as accessing minimalist dashboards or using a Bluetooth keyboard for SSH. The text also mentions a Tailscale plugin for KOReader, which supports other e-paper devices like Kobo and PocketBook, providing proxy interfaces to access content servers. Despite some limitations, these developments broaden the utility of the Kindle as a connected device, enabling unique and innovative applications for tech enthusiasts.
