“given it uses a relay server i would say that it probably blocks the direct p2p traffic and therefore tailscale has to fall back on it's nearest server, wherever that is, till that one can redirect to your net at home”
“When you can't direct connect to your peer, you will connect through relay, and Tailscale's official relay has highly restricted bandwidth and connectivity.”
“Correct. You can give them access via a new tailscale web client (ssh database rdp Kubernetes vnc) no tailscale client required. Or just your preferred desktop client of they have the Tailscale client installed.”
“being built a iroh based distributed notes app for myself useand see tailcat come out, trying to replace iroh with this to do some experiment because i really love how tailscale works and invest much time to the stackTrue appriciated of open source this, combine the tailscale open source client core with this, i think it can unlock more stuffs”
““Tailscale will bill you for the number of users you need DNS filtering for.” That still might be cheaper than setting up your own custom dns, but extra computers are easy to come by. Personally I will still be running it myself.”
“I have a Raspberry Pi at home that runs as a Tailscale exit node. It also runs Pi-hole. I can connect to it from anywhere in the world, and all my traffic appears to originate from my home network.”
“Tailscale is safer in this regard since your exit node is probably residential IP and the same one you use for your normal work. But I cannot guarantee anything.”
“If I setup Tailscale with an exit node in my home PC, will they be able to detect it? I've gotten caught before using Surfshark, but im not entirely sure how.”
“It's more secure than a reverse proxy generally, you don't have to use tailscale as your VPN connection if you're able to self-host wireguard or if you have a GL-iNet router at home I believe they can talk to each other even through cgnat (I haven't tried it).”
“Beryl 7 with tailscale has been great for me at home, with starlink, on cell tethering, through failover chain between them with no issues. Super easy to use.”
“When I travel I use their beryl router with Tailscale and my server as an exit node. Works great! I use it for as a gateway to hotel WiFi (passes through the portal and all devices cab share) and also have a 5G usb dongle.”
“My jeans got a little tighter when he said “Tailscale”, but I’m wondering how realistic this is as an alternative to reverse proxies or manually installing Tailscale everywhere.”
“I did not know you can make an Apple TV a Tailscale exit node! We put a Raspberry Pi in one of our houses as an exit node, could have just used an Apple TV!”
“My uni blocks it too. For now I host this (https://github.com/jaxxstorm/proxyt) on my own VPS/domain-name and configure my tailscale to go through that. and I've had no issues since.”
“The cleanest answer is to not run Tailscale on the clients at all. Run it on the router as a subnet router advertising your LAN, and let the VLAN clients reach the tailnet through the router. Then Tailscale traffic never enters a VPN tunnel in the first place and there is nothing to exclude.”
“Not only zerotier is usually blocked wherever tailscale is blocked, but when I was using, it always took 10-20 minutes to "warm up" and start working whenever I changed networks.”
“TS is entirely userspace and RAM bound on these 512MB routers. I can push a BerylAX to 120+Mbps on a BerylAX with nothing else running, but it will trigger OOM kill/restarts under sustained load.”
“I did something similar with two SSIDs on different VPNs, took some tinkering with routes but Tailscale worked fine in the end. Just make sure the router has enough CPU for running 3 tunnels at once, consumer hardware chokes pretty fast.”
“I also run Tailscale on all my devices for remote access to my own self-hosted stuff, and it needs to keep working no matter which VPN-SSID a device happens to be on.”
“unfortunately the Roku wont inherit Tailscale from a stock Pixel hotspot. Android sends tethered traffic outside the VPN and Roku has no Tailscale app”
“If one must use both tailscale and whatever work VPN on the same device, then depending on the circumstance, they may need to disable tailscale on xase by case basis, or maybe use split dns.”
