Borger@lemmy.blahaj.zone 5 days agoAh, sorry I hadn’t appreciated you were after split tunnelling… You can do this with Tailscale for services where you’re connecting to a fixed IP/FQDN, which I think rules out torrenting/P2P unfortunately.
The only way I’ve seen to pass a specific app’s traffic through Tailscale appears to be an Android exclusive feature.
If I’m wrong someone please correct me!

Anyone who knows enough about Wireguard, iproute2 tools, iptables/nftables, etc (firewall-marking certain packets based on criteria, then directing them through alternate route-tables based on that) can hand-roll split-tunneling, internal point-to-point tunnels/meshes, etc. For (most) people who want to achieve this in a less painful/fragile way, from what I’ve understood it seems Tailscale just does exactly this under the hood in a less arduous and more intuitive way for users, while also providing a static web-facing ingress point when needed. Headscale exists for those wanting that but with their own static ingress (self-hosted at their own IP) instead of Tailscale’s.
