3. Clicking the Icon:
   A. Click on the Tailscale icon, or right click and select ‘log in’ to initiate the login process.
   B. If this doesn’t work, check if there is using multiple network interfaces (e.g., Wi-Fi and Ethernet) simultaneously. If multiple interfaces are being used,  set the interface’s “Automatic Metric” to manual and enter a value.

6. Two-Factor Authentication (if applicable):
   • If prompted for two-factor authentication, complete the required steps.
7. Granting Permissions (if applicable):
   • If windows, or O365 asks to grant permissions, review the requested permissions and click “Allow” or “Accept.”
8. Connecting to the Network:
   • After successful login, the Tailscale app will attempt to establish a secure connection to the network.
9. Check connection
   • Check if it says ‘connected’ or ‘disconnected’ in the taskbar.
10. Done.
