The Android client has a recurring bug where the connection to the Tailnet and the DNS break about half the time when switching between Wi-Fi and cellular networks. Plus, I can’t use it and a VPN at the same time.

I can remedy that by toggling the connection off and on from the notifications panel, but it still keeps breaking with stuff that use a persistent connection, like ntfy and FMD.

Yeah, Tailscale’s “zero-config” idea is great as long as things actually work correctly… But you immediately run into issues when you need to configure things, because Tailscale locks you out of lots of important settings that would otherwise be accessible.

For instance, the WiFi at my job blocks all outbound WireGuard connections. Meaning I can’t connect to my tailnet when I’m at work, unless I tether to my personal cell phone (which has a monthly data cap). Tailscale is built on WireGuard, and WireGuard only. If I could swap it to use OpenVPN or IKEv2 instead, I could bypass the problem entirely. But instead, I’m forced to just run an OpenVPN server at home, and connect using that instead of using Tailscale.
