On reboot of my opnsense router it did not tailscale up. I’m not sure if a key expired or what happened. The fix was to first enable ssh, then ssh in and run tailscale up.
In opnsense System > Settings > Administration > Secure Shell > Enable Secure Shell
ssh <opnsense ip> 8 # to select shell tailscale up

now uncheck secure shell to lock down the opnsense machine.

Tailscale comes with a feature called taildrop that lets you easily share files between machines on your tailnet. If you have tailscale on ios/android it shows up as a share target when you try to share something, and you can pick the machine to share with.
What was not obvious to me was how to receive the file on linux. The linux tailscale service does not automatically receive the file, which can be kinda nice that you can put it where you want, but was not obvious to me at first. Use this command to receive files.
