Tailscale – after some frustrating failures – it works.

Tailscale release a new version (1.60.0) end of last week – and suddenly my ful mesh network works.

I have (Currently) a netowrk that sits behing a BT router, and a Pfsense firewall/router) in bridged mode (more about that later) and had a lot of conflicts between running NAT/Upnp on Pfsense and on the BT router.

But after a lot of fiddling and the new version – I can now seamlessly access all my 13 nodes with a minimum of problems.

The nodes include Tailscale installed on 

– AppleTV

– Gl-inet AXT1800 travelrouters

– Raspberry pi 4

– PfSense 

– MacOs

– Synology

So hopefully a fairly comprehensive mesh network that I will extend later on this week.

Docker and Synology – routing

For anyone that is using Synology NAS and is running applications in Docker you already know that Synologys visual interface to mnage Docker is less than perfect, and you have to dive into using the Terminal and issue commands there if you want to get anywhere.

One of the problems I originally was accessing any ports on the Synology NAS itself from any Docker container, and finding a solution was time consuming. It turns out to be simple compared to most solutions I could find on the Internet.

 

Go to the Synology Control panel -> Network -> General ->Advanced settings and turn off “Enable Multiple Gateways”
