vps-rescue

An open-source CLI that diagnoses unreachable VPS SSH connections and auto-provisions a Tailscale rescue tunnel on your own tailnet — built for users whose ISP or transit null-routes budget VPS provider IP ranges (Hostinger, Contabo, OVH). Mints a single-use 5-minute pre-authorized Tailscale auth key, generates a paste-able install one-liner that wires in your SSH pubkey, polls until the VPS joins the tailnet, and writes a Host block into ~/.ssh/config. No relay infra, no SaaS, no tunnel data on third-party servers; the API token lives in the OS keychain (macOS Keychain, libsecret, Windows Credential Vault). Published on npm with CI across Node 20/22 on Ubuntu and macOS.
