I had to add this:

http:
  use_x_forwarded_for: true
  trusted_proxies:
    - 127.0.0.1

to config, but overall it's very useful article.

I did this a while ago. The useful thing (and I don't know if it's covered in the blog because I didn't read it) is setting it up as an exit node.

This is useful because I have other things on my network that I wanna access, like my server, and with the exit node I can type Lan IP addresses into my browser while I'm outside the house and still access them, not just HA

You have to use tailscale VPN for this, right? The article explains how to setup access to HA via the internet, without using tailscale client.

Anyway, the exit node thing is indeed very nice.

I've just clicked into the article and no, it's set up the same way as I have, except I set HA as an exit node in the Tailscale console.
