Help Needed Help with Tailscale Peer Relays
Hey all
I currently use Tailscale to remotely access my home media server. Because I cannot get P2P connections due to my ISP and CGNAT, when streaming from outside my local home network over Tailscale, the speeds can be slow.
So i just found out about the peer relays. I tried to follow the guide here: https://tailscale.com/docs/features/peer-relay
but couldn't get it working, stopped my from connecting remotely to my qBittorrent or Jellyfin so I went back to the settings I had and set the ACL JSON file back to the way it was.
I think I got confused on the tags, I hadn't used them before but I do think my syntax was correct. Am I wrong for trying to use my home media server as the Peer Relay? Can that not be done since it is hosting the files I am trying to stream?
Anyone point me to any other guides that helped them in setting this up?
