WireGuard-encrypted tunnels using Tailscale's data plane, like netcat but encrypted. In the examples below, an addrblob is the connection token (tcom...) printed by a running tailcat server, used by clients to reach it.

Start a server that accepts one connection and writes to stdout (no local port; clients connect via the printed addrblob)

Start a server that exposes specific local TCP ports (e.g. an existing service on 22/80/443) to clients via the tunnel

tailcat --serve=22,80,443Identify

Start a server as an exit node, routing client traffic through this host's network

tailcat --serve=exit-nodeIdentify

Start an auth-free SSH server (Linux/macOS)

tailcat --serve=no-auth-sshIdentify

Connect to a server with an addrblob on a specific port, sending stdin to it

cat path/to/file | tailcat addrblob portIdentify

Ping a server to test connectivity, waiting for a direct path

tailcat ping --until-direct addrblobIdentify

SSH into a remote machine (server must expose port 22)

tailcat ssh addrblobIdentify

Generate a new server key and print its addrblob

tailcat genkey --forceIdentify
