  Yes, that is the intention. I suppose I probably could have just edited it to read ‘example.org’. But, it’s the shorthand notation @ refers to your domain name.

  So the A record @ -> [Tailscale IP]

  which DNS translates to example.org -> [Tailscale IP]

    Cool okay.

    What about the CNAME one?

      Same thing,

      CNAME:

      • -> @

      Which translates to:

      • -> example.org

      • Is a wildcard DNS character, basically meaning any subdomain will get forwarded to the root domain
