+description: "Learn how to configure Traefik Proxy to resolve TLS certificates for your Tailscale services. Read the technical documentation."
+---
+
+# Tailscale
+
+Provision TLS certificates for your internal Tailscale services.
+{: .subtitle }
+
+To protect a service with TLS, a certificate from a public Certificate Authority is needed.
+In addition to its vpn role, Tailscale can also [provide certificates](https://tailscale.com/kb/1153/enabling-https/) for the machines in your Tailscale network.
+
+## Certificate resolvers
+
+To obtain a TLS certificate from the Tailscale daemon,
+a Tailscale certificate resolver needs to be configured as below.
+
+!!! info "Referencing a certificate resolver"
+
+    Defining a certificate resolver does not imply that routers are going to use it automatically.
+    Each router or entrypoint that is meant to use the resolver must explicitly [reference](../routing/routers/index.md#certresolver) it.
+
+```yaml tab="File (YAML)"
+certificatesResolvers:
+    myresolver:
+        tailscale: {}
+```
+
+```toml tab="File (TOML)"
+[certificatesResolvers.myresolver.tailscale]
+```
+
+```bash tab="CLI"
+--certificatesresolvers.myresolver.tailscale=true
+```
+
+## Domain Definition
+
+A certificate resolver requests certificates for a set of domain names inferred from routers, according to the following:
+
+- If the router has a [`tls.domains`](../routing/routers/index.md#domains) option set,
+  then the certificate resolver derives this router domain name from the `main` option of `tls.domains`.
+
+- Otherwise, the certificate resolver derives the domain name from any `Host()` or `HostSNI()` matchers
+  in the [router's rule](../routing/routers/index.md#rule).
+
+!!! info "Tailscale Domain Format"
+
+    The domain is only taken into account if it is a Tailscale-specific one,
+    i.e. of the form `machine-name.domains-alias.ts.net`.
+
+## Configuration Example

+## Automatic Renewals
+
+Traefik automatically tracks the expiry date of each Tailscale certificate it fetches,
+and starts to renew a certificate 14 days before its expiry to match Tailscale daemon renew policy.
