Go to Lucy then System-\>Startup-\>Local startup Enter above the exit 0 line: ( sleep 60; tailscale set --advertise-exit-node ) & This will allow the router to start all processes, including Tailscale connection and, after 60s, will set the flag --advertise-exit-node. This solution persists after the router updates.
