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.



I believe the GL iNet portable ones can. They’re made for travel.

Sweet, thanks! This looks like it'll require very little tweaking. Nice!


I'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.


Thanks, 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.


Sorry, 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.


There's tailscale support for OpenWRT, or if you want something beefier you can install it on VyOS.


I didn't know! An openWRT router with tailscale is perfect... thanks!
