I am trying to setup Tailscale on my Beryl AX, which I plan to use as a travel router.
I have the exit node hosted on an rpi at home. (this works well, tested via multiple devices)
The problem with the Beryl is that the moment I select the rpi as an exit node, I loose internet access. Found this guide on the forum, and was able to make it work. However, after not powering on the router for a week, it no longer seemed to work…
I reset the router to factory defaults, updated tailscale, advertised the network and followed the guide again, however to no avail.
Before I waste anymore time, could someone please support me? What could I be doing wrong?
Please try to upgrade to the latest firmware without keep settings, such as v4.8.3:
Please reconfigure tailscale in the GL GUI, and approve the LAN and WAN subnets in Tailscale. No need to go into Luci to configure the firewall, the firewall rules of tailscale zone are accurate and available by default.
Something that sticks right away is the WAN subnet route. Which one shall I advertise? I only have 192.168.8.0/24 approved. Maybe that’s the issue?
On a separate topic - I went ahead and followed this wiki guide, set up a new interface, added the forwarding rules and now Tailscase connection becomes unstable. Also, when I go in the interface overview, the “tailscale” interface I set up, restarts every 2-3 seconds. Interestingly enough, the connection is very laggy, but I do manage to open a page or two.
Just as an FYI, the only reason I am installing Tailscale is to have my home network as the exit node. I do not need access to any of my lan devices
Edit: The only time I am able to make it work is when I set up the tailscale interface as in the wiki guide. The problem is the connection is not stable and I see frequent Error: Unknown error (DEVICE_CLAIM_FAILED) error messages.
And it looks like when the interface goes down, the tailscale connection in the gui resets (goes from green to yellow and reconnects), which kind of defeats the whole purpose.
