I have a laptop and a desktop-based-server on a 192.168.1.x segment on my network. I want to setup Tailscale between them.

Will it be bad if Tailscale connects while my laptop is local, on 192.168.1.x network?

Can I make it automatically connect via Tailscale when away and via the local network when home?

How can I best test the Tailscale network while I am at home?

    Thanks!

    Will I be able to just launch Tailscale as a part of my normal startup? Can Tailscale start ‘invisibly’ that is without any interaction from me as I turn on and login?

      I think so? I don’t use it on windows so I don’t know how it works there. All other places I used it you can set it up as a daemon or as a startup app.

        Good - my daily driver workstation is an i7 laptop running Kubuntu (auto correct wants me to run base Ubuntu ).

      Yes, Tailscale starts up with Windows and doesn’t require any interaction.

      One caveat, DLNA/casting/KDE Connect don’t work when Tailscale is active. Seems to be a limitation with multicasting not playing well with VPN-s in general.
