Running Tailscale On Your Apple TV

- In today's video, I will cover how easy it is to use Tailscale with your Apple TV to establish an Exit Node, SubNet Router, or both. I have been relying on a Tailscale subnet router to securely access all the devices on my network since it was released, and it remains one of the best additions to my workflow. The addition of the subnet router feature to the latest app version for the Apple TV has been a game changer for me as it allows me to eliminate dedicated hardware. The Apple TV is ideal as a Tailscale client as it is low power always on the device.

This is a clearer explanation than the Tailscale one. Just one question: Is all traffic encrypted, including the devices accessed via subnet?
Great question. Yes, everything is encrypted point to point but once you exit from the subnet router into your local LAN, it is just like being at home. It is a very secure way to access all your local stuff. Thanks for the feedback.
Thank you 👍
Never knew about this (can't believe Apple is allowing "services" to run on the AppleTV that's not their own..). Awesome! Thanks!
Not a lot of people do. It has been working great. Thanks for the feedback.
Does this mean I can have an Apple TV at home running Tailscale as an exit node and an Apple TV in a hotel room or cruise and watch Netflix or content on my NAS, or view my security cameras?
Yes. The exit node will exit traffic at your home and you will use the subnet router function to access your cameras.
Great video, Mike! I learned something new about using Tailscale on an Apple TV. I’ve been using Tailscale on my Apple TV 4K for over a year now. My use case is having Tailscale on my Apple TV 4K connect to Tailscale on a Raspberry Pi running as an exit node. I live in Mexico and the exit node is in the US. The tunneling works flawlessly but there’s a very annoying bug if your Apple TV 4K also acts as a Home Hub for Apple Home Kit devices. Communication with the Home Kit Devices will cease if Tailscale is left up and connected over time. I logged a defect, #9845, 11 months ago. Hopefully, they’ll fix it someday.
Are you also using it as a subnet router?
@@MikeFaucher I am not using the Apple TV and Raspberry Pi as a subnet router.
@@donvinton6954 I have not personally seen this issue, so I am not sure what suggestions to offer. I prefer to use a subnet router that is on all the time and enables the exit node via the client as needed, and that has been configured that way for almost two years; I did switch to a dedicated mini PC for this, but not because of issues but because of performance. Keep me posted if you find anything out.
Will this function also work on an Android device such as the Amazon ONN devices?
@@namewithheld3933 Not that I know of until they make an app for it.
