Tailscale Function Question (mander.xyz)

I've recently installed tailscale as a plugin on my Unraid NAS with the *arr suite and random other things on it.

I was under the impression that once I had everything set up, I would be able to access my LAN services the exact same way remotely as if I was at home connected to WiFi, specifically with their local 192.168.1.x:xxxx addresses.

What I've found is that I can't do that with the local addresses, but tailscale provides me with a separate external address that I can use with the proper port numbers for the Unraid containers, which I've added via the subnet router function, although I don't totally understand how that works tbh.

Beyond that, I have a raspberry pi that runs home assistant, and I expected to be able to access that as well, but haven't been able to figure that out. Must I install tailscale on that device as well? I thought that by using my NAS as an exit node, I'd be able to get to it.

Pardon my ignorance and thank you for your help.

Honestly the reason is I thought that it was an easy way to fit my use case- I just may have misunderstood what it was capable of.

Your use case is similar to mine, tailscale works great. Used to have a dedicated VPN but chose tailscale over that.
