Hey all, I'm pretty illiterate when it comes to networking. I'm trying to set up a Foundry server on my PC, using Tailscale to bypass not having a public IP. The first time I set Tailscale up it worked perfectly, I asked a buddy to try and access and he reached the log in screen. The second time, when a session was supposed to happen, it didn't work; tailscaled.exe would launch and immediately quit . I was a few versions behind so I uninstalled, rebooted, installed the new version. Now, I'm getting those same errors regardless of what I do. I'm honestly not sure what to mess with to fix it. Any help would be appreciated.

Is it possible that another instance of tailscale is still lurking in the background? If it's ran as administrator and still blocking acess to the named pipe, it's usually because some other process is already using it.

That's what I thought at first. The IPN is running, of course, and there is a service running in the background automatically for tailscale as well on top of the IPN. As soon as I kill the process it starts again. I don't have any VPNs on my machine, and the firewall isn't the culprit either.

As far as I can tell there isn't a duplicate process running.
