This script allows you to toggle tailscale settings using the physical side switch on the GL-iNet Beryl AX.
To install, copy the below file to /etc/gl-switch.d/tailscale.sh and replace the exit_node_ip value with your exit node ip address.
Make sure to set the execute bit on the new file: chmod +x /etc/gl-switch.d/tailscale.sh
Then go to System -> Toggle Button Settings and choose Tailscale (On/Off) in the dropdown and Apply

Thanks for posting this! I modified it to turn Tailscale completely off or on (with an exit node). A few things:
- For some reason, the GUI hides the WAN/LAN enable setting when custom exit node is enabled. This seems like a bug in the GUI maybe? I notice that if they are enabled/applied, and THEN you configure a custom exit node, they would remain on the last configured state - so I don't know why the GUI is hiding those options. I think a long time ago, when using an exit node, the WAN/LAN settings did not apply on the Tailscale side of things, but to my knowledge, the functionality to expose at least the LAN side optionally when using an exit node was added to the Tailscale feature set
- Be sure to set execute rights on the tailscale.sh file after copying to the router
Mind sharing your script?
I tried using this on the Slate-AXT 1800 but didnt seem to work, should this work across all GLiNET units with the toggle switch or do they have different saving of files for the toggle switch?

Here is what I'm using, and I believe it addresses @lucfig's question. It differs from the original by: a) It turns Tailscale completely off or on (with an exit node) as @rdgerken mentions, and b) This script switches what side is on and off from the factory. Below will turn off Tailscale when the switch is to the left and turn it on when the switch is to the right (the side with the dot). This makes more sense to me.
#!/bin/sh
action=$1
if [ "$action" = "off" ]; then # Switched the logic so "off" now enables Tailscale
enabled=true
lan_enabled=false
wan_enabled=true
exit_node_ip="{{ REPLACE WITH YOUR EXIT NODE IP }}"
elif [ "$action" = "on" ]; then # "On" now fully disables Tailscale
enabled=false
lan_enabled=false
wan_enabled=false
exit_node_ip=""
else
echo "Usage: $0 [on|off]"
exit 1
fi
curl -H 'glinet: 1' -s -k http://127.0.0.1/rpc -d "{\"jsonrpc\":\"2.0\",\"method\":\"call\",\"params\":[\"\",\"tailscale\",\"set_config\",{\"enabled\":$enabled,\"lan_enabled\":$lan_enabled,\"wan_enabled\":$wan_enabled,\"exit_node_ip\":\"$exit_node_ip\"}],\"id\":1}"
sleep 5As noted, be sure to set execute rights on the tailscale.sh file after copying to the router.
Any idea if this would work for the Slate 7?
Sorry, no idea.
I never expected people to actually find and use this 🙈
I more put it here for my own reference for when an upgrade wiped it out..haha
Good to see it has been helpful though
Used @DougS026 script and it works a treat.
@smolz, I assume you mean on the Slate 7? Thanks for letting us know!
