Hi All,

I've switched to using tailscale today as my ISP are being a pain and
not allowing port forwarding :(

Although I'd rather use wireguard, tailscale is very user friendly.

One thing that I haven't worked out if its possible or not, is whether
I can access my synology (not using tailscale).

e.g using my phone (on cellular network) --> connect to my home server
running tailscale as exit node--> connect to my synology.

From a quick play, I dont think this works. Pls let me know if I am
wrong?

Obviously, I could ssh into the server from my phone, and then access
the synology via nfs but thats not what I meant.

I mean accessing the synology via
[192.xxx.xxx.xxx](https://192.xxx.xxx.xxx) from the phone browser.

TIA

Yes, you can configure subnet routing on your tailscale node at home.

Nothing to do with exit node, everything to do with --advertise-routes
and enabling the subnet router. But yes, you can do that

Are you saying you communicated with your ISP and they said no?
