After updating, check your autoload settings. If a payload manager or autoloader starts Tailscale with the console, make sure it starts the new version, or the old one comes back after a restart. The easy way: keep that copy under a fixed name such as
tailscale.elfand save the new release over it, or name its path under Payload file to keep up to date in the settings so the Install button replaces it for you.Updating: from 0.6.1 or later, press Install on the status page. From 0.6.0, install v0.7.0 with the Install button first, or download
tailscale-0.7.1.elfand send it to the ELF loader (port 9021). From anything older, send the file by hand.

- Wake a PC at home. A sleeping PC cannot be reached over Tailscale, but the console is on the same home network and can send it a Wake-on-LAN packet. Add the PC's name and MAC address under Wake a device at home; then, from wherever you are, open the status page over Tailscale and press Wake. The PC needs Wake-on-LAN turned on. The console reports sending the packets, but this has not been tried against a sleeping PC yet; reports are welcome.
- Download diagnostics. One button under Actions gives you a single text file with the logs, version, firmware and settings to attach to a bug report. E-mail addresses, your tailnet's name, public IP addresses, keys and the password are removed; device names and tailnet addresses are not, so read it before posting.
- Test a connection. Each line under Reach a device from this PS5 and each game streaming host has a test link. It tries the connection the way the PS5 would and says what happened: it answers, the device is there but nothing listens on that port, no answer (off, asleep or firewalled), or no device with that name.
- "What this does, and what it does not". A short note on the status page, opened before the first login: other devices can reach the PS5, the PS5 reaches devices through an address on the console, and it is not a full VPN.
