January 13, 2026 ยท View on GitHub

Tailscale is a private network that connects your devices securely. It allows you to access AG Bridge from your phone (even on LTE/5G or a different Wi-Fi) as if you were sitting right next to your computer.

1. Install Tailscale

  1. On your Computer (Host): Download and install Tailscale.
  2. On your Phone (Client): Install the Tailscale app from the App Store or Google Play.
  3. Log in: Sign in to the same account on both devices.

2. Check Connection

  • Open the Tailscale app on your phone.
  • You should see your computer in the device list with a green dot (online).

3. Run AG Bridge

Run the bridge (Tailscale detection is automatic):

npm start

The console will print a Remote URL (e.g., http://my-pc:8787 or http://100.x.y.z:8787) if Tailscale is running.

4. Connect

Enter the Remote URL in your phone's browser. You should see the AG Bridge interface.
