I really want to enable tailscale ssh but I often need to ssh using my phone and so far none of the android ssh clients I have tried work properly with tailscale ssh.
I believe they are all based upon variations of the same java ssh library and exhibit the same behavior. They all connect to tailscale ssh using 'none' authentication but after connecting don't display anything which means I can't get the URL tailscale ssh presents to do its authentication.
Edit: I was just able to work around the issue by installing Termux and using openssh in that environment to do my initial ssh authentication. Afterwards my normal ssh app works.
on iOS, at least, the Tailscale app will pop up a push notification for you to authenticate in that case; I'm not sure if the same is true on Android but could be worth checking your notification settings.
Notifications are enabled for Tailscale but I don't get one to authenticate.
I was just able to work around the issue by installing Termux which provides a small Linux environment on your phone. I was able to use openssh in the Termux environment to connect and get the authentication URL. After that my preferred ssh app can connect without issue.
