Comment on Reducing buffering when accessing Jellyfin via Tailscale
stratself@lemdro.id 4 days agoHi, I think OP wants their sibilings to directly connect to their PC, skipping any relays, even if it’s their VPS.
But if you are comparing setting up your own VPS instead of relaying through Tailscale’s DERP, then the answer is… it depends on the distance and whether you can establish VPS->Local VM direct connections.
I found opening a specified port for Tailscale on the VPS to help with direct connections with CGNAT’d peers. I’m not familiar with Pangolin, but I think the same principle applies as long as at least one address:port combination is agreed between Wireguard peers.
If I’m being honest though, before doing all this, try asking your ISPs for IPv6 to avoid these cumbersome things together.

Sadly no ipv6 support with my supplier so that’s sadly not an option. Vps and derp servers are both based in UK so doubt they’d be much benefit in switching from tailscales derp to pangolin. I’ll look into port forwarding but pretty sure ISP blocks this.
