This is probably the #1 use case among our users, so yes it is totally do-able. Depends a bit on the router, since we don't support the full range of OS's yet, but if it is FreeBSD-based or OpenWRT you should be good to go. Otherwise, any Linux computer in your home network can act as the router to the LAN.
I believe we actually had a feature like exit nodes before Tailscale released theirs :) Our is called an "egress gateway" and it acts in pretty much the same way.
- cassianoleal 5y agoMy router is indeed OpenWRT-based, but even if that was not directly supported I can run LXC containers on it. Thanks for your reply, I will try to deploy Netmaker alongside Tailscale and compare for my needs!
- afeiszli 5y agoSounds good, let us know how it goes! And be sure to do a speed comparison too :)
- ghostpepper 5y agoWhat about routers that support wireguard natively, such as Mikrotik?
- afeiszli 5y agoRouters are hard because they all have their custom OS's, and we need to do system level stuff besides just WireGuard. We're open to expanding the range where needed, and will happily support anyone in the community who wants to port the client to a new OS, but for now we're sticking to OpenWRT and FreeBSD as the supported routers.
