Context

When enabling public/private control in a cluster, users may be concerned about how this affects their existing infrastructure and application access.

Answer

When you enable public/private control in your cluster, the impact is limited to the following:

• CLI access will require Tailscale authentication

• Publicly accessible applications remain unaffected and continue to function normally

If you experience any CLI access issues after enabling public/private control, ensure you have Tailscale properly configured to restore CLI functionality.
