I need to access a printer and a old NAS, looks like I could do so by installing Tailscale as a subnet router, although instructions show downloads for all - the instructions are only for Linux.
so What di I need to run this, could a RPI suffice? if so what versions? maybe a old laptop?
For your use case I doubt you would overload a raspberry pi running as a subnet router. However if you can get your hands on an old laptop then I would suggest that route. You don’t have to worry about keeping a keyboard and monitor around and if the battery is still good it kind of acts likes its own UPS.
