I’m wondering if I’m starting to outgrow Tailscale… my wife keeps having networking issues on Android due to Tailscale, the Nvidia Shield kills the Tailscale app randomly, and my parents’ TV doesn’t have a Tailscale app…

I feel like the time is approaching to publicly expose some of my services to the internet…

Any other tips?

    GAAH! OK! I’M NOT CRAZY!

    The exact same thing is happening to my wife’s phone. We’re both on Pixel 8s, have the same VPN settings, but for some magic reason Tailscale breaks only her phone. She has to turn off Tailscale and reboot her phone to regain connectivity.

    These shenanigans is why I’m considering just exposing things to the public internet. I’m using Tailscale on several device types and Tailscale adds friction to all of my devices (except Arch where everything always works).

    I understand the friction is there for a good reason, but my family doesn’t. They just see that Jellyfin doesn’t work and that all of this is buggy and maybe they just should sign up for Netflix instead of dealing with all of these bugs.
