Great question. Yes, everything is encrypted point to point but once you exit from the subnet router into your local LAN, it is just like being at home. It is a very secure way to access all your local stuff. Thanks for the feedback.
Great video, Mike! I learned something new about using Tailscale on an Apple TV. I’ve been using Tailscale on my Apple TV 4K for over a year now. My use case is having Tailscale on my Apple TV 4K connect to Tailscale on a Raspberry Pi running as an exit node. I live in Mexico and the exit node is in the US. The tunneling works flawlessly but there’s a very annoying bug if your Apple TV 4K also acts as a Home Hub for Apple Home Kit devices. Communication with the Home Kit Devices will cease if Tailscale is left up and connected over time. I logged a defect, #9845, 11 months ago. Hopefully, they’ll fix it someday.
@@donvinton6954 I have not personally seen this issue, so I am not sure what suggestions to offer. I prefer to use a subnet router that is on all the time and enables the exit node via the client as needed, and that has been configured that way for almost two years; I did switch to a dedicated mini PC for this, but not because of issues but because of performance. Keep me posted if you find anything out.
I have two tailscale hosts (Jellyfin server and AppleTV). Through Tailscale, the AppleTV successfully connects to the jellyfin server, correctly authenticating the user, correctly displaying the media yet when the server shows media playing for the remote user (appleTV), the appleTV displays black image. How can I fix this? With other hosts it correctly streams the media. Only the appleTV has this stream display problem
Interesting issue. I will need a bit more information on how you have these setup and configured. Are they both just clients, or is one an exit node ot subnet router?
@MikeFaucher just clients. Neither is the exit node nor did I set up a subnet router in tailscale for either. Funny thing is, I connected a test client (laptop) the same way through tailscale to the jellyfin server (again, no exit node, no subnet routing) and I could watch the media with no delay no problem. But not for the Apple 4K with the jellyfin app Other details: jellyfin server is an LXC in proxmox and I'm INSIDE CG-NAT
Does this mean I can have an Apple TV at home running Tailscale as an exit node and an Apple TV in a hotel room or cruise and watch Netflix or content on my NAS, or view my security cameras?
Never knew about this (can't believe Apple is allowing "services" to run on the AppleTV that's not their own..). Awesome! Thanks!
Not a lot of people do. It has been working great. Thanks for the feedback.
This is a clearer explanation than the Tailscale one. Just one question: Is all traffic encrypted, including the devices accessed via subnet?

Are you also using it as a subnet router?
@@MikeFaucher I am not using the Apple TV and Raspberry Pi as a subnet router.

@ Interesting issue. Not sure what the compatibility would be.
@@MikeFaucher was from hardware acceleration (HEVC)...still trying to figure out what exactly
Does this mean I can have an Apple TV at home running Tailscale as an exit node and an Apple TV in a hotel room or cruise and watch Netflix or content on my NAS, or view my security cameras?
Yes. The exit node will exit traffic at your home and you will use the subnet router function to access your cameras.
Will this function also work on an Android device such as the Amazon ONN devices?
