What I enjoy with tailscale is that the traffic goes directly from the host to the client.
Since there is no cloud relay I can connect to all my services via tailscale, even on local network and it's not going to impact the speed.
This way I only have one setup that works the same way on local network or remotely but still have the local network speed when I am at home.
That's amazing I thought it would slow down on lan. Since myy upload speed is really slow.
discovered tailscale from this post and after reading their "how tailscale works" I was hoping to get some clarification from an activer user (you).
CF tunnels setup an outbound-only tunnel from my private network via
cloudflared, I have no ingress holes in my firewall to access my services.cloudflareddoes all the proxying. Plus my IP changes monthly as I don't pay for a static one from my ISP. This "outbound-only" connection is resilient to that.Tailscale is point-to-point (for data plane) connection and only the control plane is "hub and spoke". This sounds like I need to allow ingress rules on my private network so my server can be connected to? Is this true or where did I misunderstand?
I'm probably not the beat person to answer to you about the technical aspect and I'm not sure if I fully understand your question.
However I can tell you that there is no need to change anything at network level for tailscale to work.
I've installed and used tailscale on desktops, VM, raspberry, NAS or smartphone on plenty of different network, I've also remotely guided people to install tailscale on their machine at home and it always just worked. No issue at all and nothing to change on the network for it to work.
interesting, I'll have to read about this some more then. thanks for pointing me in the right direction
