WORK / PRIVATE NETWORK · PROTOTYPE

Your workspace.
One connection away.

Connect once, then open your apps by name: https://studio.othman. Work’s existing connection continues to run during this trial.

1. Install Tailscale

Use the official app for your device.

Get the app →

2. Connect your device

Choose Use an alternate server (Android) or Use custom coordination server (iPhone) when adding an account. Enter:

https://control.2.31.109.233.sslip.io

Sign in with your Work account. Your administrator can provide one. This address stays public so you can sign in before joining.

Linux / macOS terminal
tailscale up --login-server https://control.2.31.109.233.sslip.io

This command changes the active network of the default Tailscale client. For a parallel trial, use the setup tool below.

3. Trust private HTTPS, once

Short names such as studio.othman use Work’s own certificate authority. Install the certificate once on each device.

Download Work certificate

Verify its fingerprint with your administrator. On iPhone, install the downloaded profile/certificate and enable full trust under Settings → General → About → Certificate Trust Settings. On Android, install it as a CA certificate in Security settings. Some apps use their own certificate store.

Desktop setup tool

Keep your current network connected and try Work in its own browser profile. Download the tool, then run:

Download setup-client.py
python3 setup-client.py --parallel --open

Sign in when asked. The tool handles private names and HTTPS for this separate browser. Chrome, Chromium, Edge and Brave are supported.

4. Open Work

Your service directory is private. It becomes reachable after connecting.

Open my workspace →

A bare service name should be entered as a full URL, such as https://studio.othman.
