The instructions didn't work for tvOS 26.6 / Tailscale 1.102.2. When the `ALTERNATE COORDINATION SERVER URL` is set, the `Install VPN Configuration` breaks. Clicking does nothing and the tvOS app logs showed `addUser: backendManager does not exist`. Instead I first started tailscale and installed the vpn profile and then add the headscale url and then signed. Which seemed to have worked
