Description
Hi,
I’m trying to use the tailscale/github-action in a GitHub Actions workflow running on a macOS runner (macos-15) with an exit node.
While the same workflow works fine on Linux runners, it doesn’t seem to work properly on macOS.
My questions are:
- Is exit node mode currently supported when using this action on macOS runners?
- If it is supported, are there any known limitations or required flags to make it work?
