A place to share alternatives to popular online services that can be self-hosted without giving up privacy or locking you into a service you don't control.

Rules:

  1. Be civil: we're here to support and learn from one another. Insults won't be tolerated. Flame wars are frowned upon.

I have an expanding homelab that is now including a family members home. I have homeA.com, and they have homeB.com. I manage both, and connect to theirs over Tailscale. Both servers run pihole and traefik. What I want, is to be able to connect to homeB.com from homeA.com. I have a DNS entry in homeA pihole for homeB.com=100.x.x.x (Tailscale ip). So, any device on Tailscale and homeA pihole can access homeB.com.

What I would like, is to make it so only the two servers need Tailscale. So on my laptop, without Tailscale, from homeA, can access homeB.com through the servers Tailscale connection. Is this possible?

The routers or computers you are using for this have to support forwarding traffic. With Linux this is pretty straight forward for other OSes I'm not sure how easy it is.

You can get around this by having tailscale installed on the default gateway (router) of each network. It might be quite a pain for OP to change routers at each location. On the plus side, OpenWRT has some other cool features like PXE booting.

Here is an article about tailscale on an OpenWRT router.
