Is anyone aware of a tailscale-supporting router?
In order to easily watch region-restricted content, I want to put all entertainment devices in my house on a separate wifi router, and run all traffic through a chosen tailscale exit node.
- maxboone 3y agoThere's tailscale support for OpenWRT, or if you want something beefier you can install it on VyOS.
- isoprophlex 3y agoI didn't know! An openWRT router with tailscale is perfect... thanks!
- OJFord 3y agoI'm not, but you could use vanilla Wireguard either directly to the exit node, or to another device (a little Pi or something) running Tailscale as a ..relay node I think they call it.
- isoprophlex 3y agoThanks, that's a nice trick for watching from a computer... i have dumb / closed devices, and devices belonging to kids that I don't want to touch. Hence the whole separate-wifi-AP thing.
- OJFord 3y agoSorry, I glossed over it, but not just from a computer - many more routers have Wireguard support than Tailscale (if any do at all, I don't know). So you could do exactly as you planned, just with the router -> exit node (or router -> some Tailscale relay as an extra step to provide that interface) as plain Wireguard.
- doublepg23 3y agoI believe the GL iNet portable ones can. They’re made for travel. https://docs.gl-inet.com/en/4/tutorials/tailscale/ https://docs.gl-inet.com/en/4/tutorials/tailscale/
- isoprophlex 3y agoSweet, thanks! This looks like it'll require very little tweaking. Nice!
