My home and corporate networks are both set up with igmp snooping.
Problem with using tailscale is that if I’m at work, both my desktop and phone would have to be tailscaled home to connect which is not ideal.
When I’m at home I need my phone to connect to my home desktop, when I’m at work I need my phone to connect to my work desktop.
If they supported a list of static IP addresses that would work
If they allowed DNS names as the targets that would work.
If they could add IGMP multicast to their search capabilities that would work. IGMP is the option to be allowed to forward across networks.
Bluetooth could work
They could use MQTT or NTFY
It’s probably about a billion ways to skin this. They basically just need some form of communication without knowing the exact target or being able to specify the target dynamically. I give it a shot every year or so get it to connect a couple of times and then eventually give up.
