Remote Control Setup Guide (Tailscale + ADB)

This guide explains how to control your Android phone using Open-AutoGLM even when the phone is on a mobile network (4G/5G) and not on the same Wi-Fi as your PC.

1. Prerequisites (Tailscale VPN)

Since ADB (Android Debug Bridge) does not work over the public internet securely, we use Tailscale to create a private, secure link between your devices.

Step 1: Install Tailscale

  1. On PC: Download and install Tailscale for Windows.
  2. On Phone: Install the Tailscale app from the Google Play Store.

Step 2: Configure Network

  1. Open Tailscale on both devices.
  2. Log in with the same account (e.g., your Google account) on both.
  3. Ensure Tailscale is Active (Connected) on both.
  4. On the phone app, find the IP Address assigned to your phone (it starts with 100.x.x.x).

2. Connect ADB Remotely

To connect your PC to the phone securely over this new network:

  1. Open Terminal in the Open-AutoGLM directory.

  2. Run the connect command using the local platform-tools:

    .\platform-tools\adb.exe connect <PHONE_TAILSCALE_IP>:5555

    (Replace <PHONE_TAILSCALE_IP> with the address you found in Step 1, e.g., 100.76.226.33)

  3. Verify Connection:

    .\platform-tools\adb.exe devices

    You should see your device IP listed as device.

3. Troubleshooting

"Target machine actively refused it"

  • This means ADB is not listening on port 5555 on the phone.
  • Fix: You must enable TCP/IP mode once via USB.
    1. Plug phone into PC via USB.
    2. Run: .\platform-tools\adb.exe tcpip 5555
    3. Unplug phone.
    4. Try connecting again via Tailscale IP.

"Command not found"

  • PowerShell doesn't know where adb is. Always use .\platform-tools\adb.exe instead of just adb.
