I've recently installed tailscale as a plugin on my Unraid NAS with the *arr suite and random other things on it.
I was under the impression that once I had everything set up, I would be able to access my LAN services the exact same way remotely as if I was at home connected to WiFi, specifically with their local 192.168.1.x:xxxx addresses.
What I've found is that I can't do that with the local addresses, but tailscale provides me with a separate external address that I can use with the proper port numbers for the Unraid containers, which I've added via the subnet router function, although I don't totally understand how that works tbh.
Beyond that, I have a raspberry pi that runs home assistant, and I expected to be able to access that as well, but haven't been able to figure that out. Must I install tailscale on that device as well? I thought that by using my NAS as an exit node, I'd be able to get to it.
Pardon my ignorance and thank you for your help.
You do not need to install it on all your devices. See https://tailscale.com/kb/1019/subnets
Yeah you have to put tailscale on all the devices then join the same private network.
