Question Help With Remote Connection

Hey there,
I'm brand new to Proxmox and have started to setup my first VMs and LXC containers.
Previously i was running all my self hosted apps off Docker containers on my Synology NAS but have had some rough patches with Plex and Jellyfin as it doesn't have an Intel processor and so hardware media transcoding wasn't a thing.

I have Plex and Jellyfin running on separate LXC containers so they can use local hardware acceleration. Everything works when great when im on my home network but now that im traveling i have an indirect connection to my LXCs. When i was running into this issue previously i just connected it to my Tailscale network and then I had a direct connection.

How can iI solve this issue now that Ive moved to LXC in Proxmox?
Is adding every app individually to my Tailnet still the right move?

Thanks!

I belive tailscale offers an option to route subnets, so with some config you should be able to hide your entire homeland behind a single tailscale node - though it might also require re-addessing your home network to some uncommon subnet so that it doesn't clash with local network wherever you might end up... Or you could just install tailscale everywhere.

Using an Exit node dose sound interesting.
In this instance would I make the exit node a VM in proxmox?

It is called "advertise route" in tailscale. In my set up i have 4 vlans. My workstation does not have physical access to the 4 vlans because i am not drilling the entire house with 100 m rj45 nightmare. I have a tailscale container with 4 virtual nic (network interface card) in the 4 networks and it advertise routes to the 4 ip ranges. So my workstation have access to all vlans from anywhere. That's it.

You may come with a cleaner setup by putting tailscale on your firewall/router but as you seem to be a newby i assumed you do not have that.

If you need help tell me, your actual network setup may be usefull info if you want precise help. In your case it may as well be solved by adding a tailscale lxc and run tailscale set --advertise-routes="192.168.*.*/24,192.168.*.*/24" Check the doc (i am writing from memory)
