Firewall configuration for Tailscale to work

Has anyone been successful as configuring bitdefender firewall to enable one to connect to their PC over tailscale? Any guidance or step by step instructions would be a huge help. Thanks

  • Hello @not_rick,

    Does the app work with the firewall disabled? If it does and you are using a dedicated VPN software, try to add an exception by following the steps from this article:

    Let us know how it goes.

    if i disable the firewall and drop the wifi (as if I'm connecting from the outside/public internet) it does work. What I am trying to configure to pass through the firewall is tailscale. Tailscale used to work without any changes to the firewall rules but that has since change, I will read this link and give it another try.

  • I understand, thanks for getting back.
    Let me know how it goes and if the article I posted doesn't help, we'll try something else.
