How it works:

  1. Plugin intercepts requests to protected services
  2. Serves a verification page that tests connectivity to your Tailscale domain
  3. Only clients actually connected to Tailscale can pass the test
  4. Sets secure session cookie for future requests
  5. Everyone else gets blocked with helpful instructions

The plugin is open source: github.com/hhftechnology/tailscale-access

Works with any Traefik v3 setup but integrates especially well with Pangolin’s middleware manager and dynamic configuration system.
