Something ive noticed from using wireguard from my phone is my traffic across the board slows down significantly while connected because everything is routed back home.
With tailscale can the user be connected, and only have a specific ip/domain routed through it? I also dont have access to the dvr’s internal system to run tailscale from it.

This is a config issue, you have your VPN set as the default gateway instead of just for the specific subnet of your home network.
Yea, gotta turn off using an Exit Node that’s on that network.
Also, sometimes Tailscale’s Magic DNS seems to override other name resolution and will route over Tailscale instead if another network (eg LAN). You can avoid this by using IP addresses instead of DNS if you have issues.
There’s a similar software called zerotier that only routes traffic you want across. You select an IP range (for instance 10.144..) and it gives your computer a new address. For my main computer let’s say it’s 10.144.168.128. The only traffic routed over the vpn is traffic addressed to that address. You can append the port to web traffic like 10.144.168.128:8010/zm/index.php (zoneminder used as an example) and it would use the vpn for that connection but nothing else.

Oh that makes sense because when i originally set it up, i did want all traffic routed through it. I guess i didnt realize it didnt have to be

You can set what traffic goes across wireguard, either all of it, or only what is intended for the IP you are needing to connect to.
