Info
I installed tailscale on my steam deck following the blog post, however unlike my Android phone and Macbook where things work automagically, tailscale causes the whole system to either not have any network access after a while, usually less than 10 seconds, though once I had it working for 2 whole minutes. And other times, it just doesn’t work at all.
The problem is, I am not quite sure why or how to fix it.
Ideally, the plan was to connect as follows
[Steam deck] ----> [Server running as exit node on tailscale network] ----> [Another server in the same LAN as the exit node]
In addition, I would also like to access the internet. This works just fine using my other devices.
I started tailscale with the command tailscale up --accept-dns --exit-node=TAILSCALE-IP-OF-EXIT-NODE --operator=deck
