From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

I would really really really like to have one device on my tailnet as the exitnode for all other devices on the tailnet. However, most VPNs make this really difficult. Is there any way to do this? I've read it's possible with split-tunnelling, but ProtonVPN (which I use) doesn't support that. I just installed Alpine Linux on my RPI 4b. And would like to use this as my exit node. Does anyone have any tips for how this could be done?

For anyone trying this, make sure you do not have "- TS_USERSPACE=false" in your yaml from previous experimentation. After removing this, it works for me too.

In the documentation they say to add sysctl entries, it is possible in docker compose like so:

tailscale:
    sysctls:
      - net.ipv4.ip_forward=1
      - net.ipv6.conf.all.forwarding=1

But it does not seem to make a difference for me. Does anyone know why these would not be required in this specific setup?
