Tailscale and BI

[goneracin]

Set up a dual NIC
All my cams are in a switch and in NIC1
NIC2 goes out to my ISP given mikrotic router
Downloaded tailscale and followed how to set up a subnet
Followed their instructions as well as watched a video
My admin page showed the IP of my PC for both NIC
I did as the instructions said about how to copy/paste
tailscale up --advertise-routes=192.168.0.0/24,192.168.1.0/24 and changed the ip address to the BI nic address and the Ethernet IP
phone still is a no go...lol
i go through the BI server setup steps putting in my 10 serial numbers, it shows my address on port :81
i try to go there and it still wont let the phone in
if i port forward that will tailscale protect it or not?
the f'in video made it look simple, its just not getting there

Subnet setup not needed.
Your phone should also show on your Admin page
From the phone enter the NIC2 Tailscale address followed by the BI port :81
example 100.123.123.123:81

i did
actually when you type in the bi 1st 5 and last 5 and hit the lookup key it populates that.
i must be fucked up on the firewall settings or something.

well, i dont really know wtf i did, but i got in...lol

 

[goneracin]

actually i think i had my firewall set to block BI even on the behind the 2nd nic setup

Great.
I was gonna suggest trying to login with a browser to make sure it wasn't the app creating a problem. On the app the WAN line is not important as it uses the LAN entry of your TS IP.
Another tip, on your Tailscale Admin page, for every device click the 3 dots on the right and disable the expiry key.

i saw a video that explained that. Made sense.
i started digging into stuff, and i had my switch blocked from being discoverable, so the BI computer saw it, but it wouldnt allow it onto my network. At least thats what i think...
again, im an engine builder with novice it skills...lol.
i almost rubbed one out when my phone connected...hahahaha
