Hi, I have looked at using Tailscale for remote VPN access to me NAS. I have installed Tailscale on the NAS, but when opening, I get “XML syntax error on line 8: attribute name without = in element” every time. I have uninstalled and re-installed Tailscale several times, with the same result. Does anyone know a solution for this or perhaps where I have gone wrong?
Have you tried another web browser?
You gave me hope! But it was just dashed, as I just now tried Firefox instead of Brave, but with the same result.
Thanks for the report! We’ll also try to verify this issue internally.
Thanks for the details, Champs — and for testing across browsers, that helped narrow things down.
We’ve been able to reproduce this on our end, and it looks like the error is tied to how the Web UI is being accessed rather than the browser or the Tailscale version. Specifically, it shows up when opening the Web UI via a myQNAPcloud SmartURL, but not when accessing it directly through the NAS’s local IP address.
As a workaround for now, could you try opening the Tailscale Web UI using your NAS’s local IP (e.g. http://<NAS-IP>:8080)? That should let you get in without the error. Meanwhile, we’re currently evaluating the SmartURL access path on our side.
Let us know how that goes!
