I encountered something I don’t quite understand, and I was hoping someone could enlighten me.
I set up Tailscale on my router with subnets, so I could remotely access my home network. This worked great. Then, at home, I was happily browsing the internet on my main PC, and decided to dial into another machine on my network. It couldn’t access it at all. Disconnecting Tailscale on my main PC restored lconnectivity.
I don’t understand what is happening here- the only thing I can think of is that my internet traffic was being routed through Tailscale, but I don’t have an exit node.
TL,DR: home PC sees Internet but not LAN when connected to Tailscale, why and how fix?
My commercial VPN has a VPN kill switch and an Advanced Kill switch in case the regular kill switch wasn’t enough…lol. Unchecking both of those allowed Tailscale to connect to my remote server for ssh/sftp/administration, while the commercial VPN covers everything else. The only thing I guess you need to keep in mind is to engage the Kill Switch when downloading your Linux ISOs. Do a leak test beforehand.
