Did Liahona recently start blocking Tailscale? Any one else see this?
Tailscale
Community Moderators
There are protections to prevent circumventing the Church firewall. One of the features of Tailscale is that it bypasses firewalls. Since Tailscale uses a VPN and its own DNS it most likely will not play well with the Church network. Not all VPNs create problems; but the Church Network uses its own DNS and that is known to cause problems.

This seems to suggest that the network usage is being provided as a "service" such as one might find at any public library, or other wireless hotspots, though, with the obvious intended use to be that of providing support for your calling or whatever might be necessary to learn the gospel.russellhltn wrote: Sun Mar 29, 2026 10:17 pmThe Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints provides this wireless network as a service for leaders, teachers, members, and guests to be used for teaching and learning the gospel and to support Church administration functions.

Does the firewall only allow access to certain Church related sites?

The firewall does not limit access to only Church related sites. But there are sites and domains that are blacklisted that are contrary to Church standards.ambldsorg wrote: Mon Mar 30, 2026 7:21 am Does the firewall only allow access to certain Church related sites?

I'm noticing this too. I was planning to write a young men's lesson on my laptop and then have it sync through my tailnet to my phone to give it, but it seems like they blocked the `tailscale.com` domain, so I can't do that.

Does the phone work with Tailscale if you use the cellular network rather than Wi-Fi?Chris4942 wrote: Sun Aug 23, 2026 6:36 am I'm noticing this too.

Sending feedback on an app or on the website is probably the best way to get the block changed if there's any possibility of it being changed.
