  This approach largely works, with the caveat that it then requires you to always be on the tailnet. If someone wants to connect locally AND via tailnet using the same URL, they’ll need to push/advertise routes (or do some other hacky thing)

    I don’t have a problem to always be on the tailnet with my client devices, but it does not work even for this case.

    If you run adguard home it’s pretty easy. Just add a DNS rewrite to your local IP.

    Yes, in order to access my domain on my local network, I have my pihole instance point the domain to my server’s local IP.

  Yes, similar to the video guide, I set up a wildcard CNAME record to point to <machine>.<tailnet>.net.

    I see. I dont know if that works, as I haven’t done that, but what worked for me was pointing to the tailnet IP, not the tailnet domain, then disabling expiry for my server on the tailscale dashboard so my IP would stay the same.
