What are you testing MagicDNS with? What are the DNS settings? What does trying dog myhost (or dig, or using about:networking in a Firfox derived browser (maybe Chrome too?) if you prefer) tell you? For reference, on a Linux host (I don’t remember exactly, so don’t quote me), you should se something like this in /etc/resolv.conf

nameserver 127.0.0.1
options edns0 trust-ad
search xxxxxx.ts.net xxxxxxxxxx.local.net

So I was doing this from the (emulated?) terminal on my Android phone, and dig just returned command not found. I just got off work and moved to my desktop running Fedora, and on my desktop MagicDNS addresses work. Which I guess narrows things down.

On my desktop, dig returns

My resolv.conf is pretty similar. The namesever I’m pretty sure is correct for systemd reasons.

nameserver 127.0.0.53 options edns0 trust-ad search tail######.ts.net

I appreciate the help, but realistically the answer to “Is that as simple a process as I want it to be?” is no, not quite, at least at my knowledge level lol. I’ll do more documentation reading in the meantime.

  Interesting. Does trying to simply ping myhost or myhost.xxx.ts.net work?

    On Android (well, GrapheneOS) both return temporary failure in name resolution.
    
    Pinging the Tailscale IP (the 100. one) returns 100% packet loss even though opening 100.whatever:#### works in a browser.

    Ok, I think I am beginning to understand the issue. Can you try resolving the domain in your browser? If it’s a Firefox derivative, you can go to about:networking, and it gives you the ability to resolve a domain in the browser. Some Chrome based ones should have similar features, but YMMV.
