Raspi: Linux 1.28.0
Synology: Linux 1.22.2
Notebook: Linux 1.26.1
I bought a new NAS and wanted to connect everything to tailscale so that I can use it in my internal network and also from external without changing any configuration and exposing the NAS directly.
The setup is as follows:
Homerouter → 100mbit/s connection → Repeater/Switch with 1gbit/s —> Synology && Raspberry && Notebook
If I connect directly via my 192.168.. IP from my Notebook to my Raspberry or my synology I get a 1gbp/s connection (tested via iperf3)
If I connect using my tailscale IPs i only get a 100mbit/s connection.
Also the pings are way slower via tailscale:

Tailscale status tells me it should be a direct connection.
Both the synology and raspberry are not CPU bottle necked.
I also have a direct wireguard configuration with my raspberry.
When using the wireguard connection in the same network configuration I achieve a 300-400mbit/s connection and the raspberry CPU then seems to be the bottleneck. But that is 3-4 times higher than using tailscale. Shouldn’t it be at least comparable?
