Tailscale with pfSense

I finally set up Tailscale on pfSense and what a massive improvement to my life it is!

Being able to connect to Tailscale and then get instant access to everything running on my LAN is massive.

Now I can do things like host apps in my public Coolify and have that container connected to TS giving it access to non-public assets running in my home network. It also doesn’t consume my tailscale machine limits because I’m just exposing the subnets - that being said those services do not get a TS routable address. I don’t mind though as the direct subnet connection is fine as these services are on static IPs.

I dislike the Cloudflare tunnels approach - this is much better for this use case. That being said, I do host Pangolin for other access patterns.
