  Nope, tailscale ping can’t establish a direct connection and trying to access the NAS is pretty much impossible.

    Are you sure? Did you want to troubleshoot this or did you just want to give up?

    I’ve got two synology nas connected to each other directly for hyper backup replications at clients because both units are on cgnat isps and there’s no public IP. And it just works.

      Of course I didn’t just give up. I’d rather a free option than a paid one but thems the breaks. Good for you though, sounds like it just worked.

        After I followed the instructions and having 15 years of system administration experience. Which I was willing to help but I guess you’d rather quip.

        From my perspective unless there’s something that you’ve not yet disclosed, if wireguard can get to the public domain, like a vps, then tailscale would work. Since it’s mechanically doing the same thing, being wireguard with a gui and a vps hosted by tailscale.

        If your ISP however is blocking ports and destinations maybe there are factors in play, usually ones that can be overcome. But your answer is to pay for mechanically the same thing. Which is fine, but I suspect there’s a knowledge gap.
