Flint GL-AX1800 TailsScale Exit Node Problem

[lukaszlol1990]

Hi all, I am looking for somebody who can help me, I am struggling from long time, nobody was able to help me, a few people tried but never successfully.

I want to use my router as a VPN Server and connect ALL of my devices remotely to route all traffic via Router via active Proton VPN Client.

I did read and it's not a problem, I can do this but I don't know what I am doing wrong, what kind of configuration is missing.

I stuck in TailsScale admin panel as have to set up router in settings as exit node but this option is Gray out,

I used SHH command to do an advertising the exit node status in routes , not sure have I done it properly but still exit node settings is Gray out,

Is anyone who have a Good nowledge and want help please ???

I want to create a Immich server but I stuck on the beginning with creating a network…so I am not able remotely connect any devices with my router..

Thank you

LuKi

Hi,

To implement the configuration you described, please refer to the following two guides.

The first guide explains how to configure the router as a Tailscale Exit Node:

How to Configure GL.iNet Router to host Tailscale Exit Node

Background Many GL.iNet routers come with a built-in Tailscale application, bringing the power of this P2P mesh VPN to your fingertips. However, the current official implementation is in the preliminary stages and does not yet expose a UI option to toggle "Exit Node" functionality. Many users want their router to act as an Exit Node (routing all internet traffic from their phone or laptop through their home router). This tutorial demonstrates how to enable this function via SSH, how to preserve…

The second guide explains how to route traffic received through Tailscale to the WireGuard VPN Client running on the router:

Route Tailscale Through VPN Connection

Hi, I have Tailscale on my Flint3 router so I can connect my phone to my home network when I’m out. This works well for using Jellyfin, Symphonium, Immich and for accessing my files and routing my internet traffic through my home connection when I’m out. However, I have a privacy VPN set up on my router to mask all the traffic that comes from my home network. I want the Tailscale exit node traffic to be routed through the privacy VPN too, because I don’t want to expose the traffic that’s comi…

Since you have already run SSH command to do an advertising the exit node status in routes, could you please run the following commands on the router through SSH and provide the complete output?

tailscale version
tailscale status
tailscale debug prefs
grep -n "tailscale up" /usr/bin/gl_tailscale

These commands only check the current Tailscale status and startup parameters and will not modify the router configuration.
The output will help us confirm whether the router is still advertising the Exit Node routes and whether the setting may have been overwritten after Tailscale was restarted or the settings were applied again in the web interface.

Thank you for your cooperation.
