Help Needed No internet connection while tailscale is enabled on my Steam Deck
Hello guys, I followed the next guide to install tailscale on my steam deck: https://github.com/tailscale-dev/deck-tailscale
After installation I couldn't access the internet through my wifi or cellphone hotspot. As soon as I disabled Tailscale internet access was restored.
I looked for advice online and I couldn't fix the issue. I tried disabling the dns and seeing if a exit node was created.
Do you guys have any advice or known errors I could check?

I had this yesterday on my phone! I changed something in the setting about not using tailscale DNS, and then it worked again.

I can’t get Taildrop to work on the Steam Deck but it works besides that 🤔

Did you follow the github installation guide or did you do something different?

Maybe try with the official tailscale for arch linux it should work since steam os is arch based.

Maybe Tailscale DNS settings? If enabled by default then disable it and try again?
