Excuse me what? Here's my dumb ass navigating to "[device name]:[port] over tailscale.
I've tried this a couple times and I've always failed. I could never figure out how to get a http://service.domain/ request to my Nginx install to be proxied in the first place. I tried putting pihole on tailscale and setting that as tailscale's DNS. It blocked ads but I couldn't navigate to custom domains. I put NPM on tailscale hoping that was the issue. I looked for LocalDNS/CNAMES in tailscale to see if I could do it that way. Do I have to set a local machine as an exit node and do split DNS shenanigans, service.domain goes through to my local and everything else the wider web? Do I set a router node?!
Not expecting you to troubleshoot, I don't have time to see it through anyhow. Just annoyed at myself I couldn't figure it out and driven to try again.
