[Question] How should I configure Tailscale app connectors and/or subnet routing for HomeKit Secure Video? (links.hackliberty.org)

Basically, I’m running Tailscale on most of my devices and using subnet routing on a Raspberry Pi for non-Tailscale devices.

My problem is that while using an exit node streaming video from cameras in the iOS/macos Home apps is entirely too slow. I can see from App Privacy Report that it attempts to connect to my home network’s WAN address, so I’ve set up subnet routing to bring in any traffic to any of ISP’s networks through the Raspberry Pi at home (this also makes it possible to use said ISP’s streaming app on Apple TV as if I were at home).

I know that Home doesn’t connect to the cameras locally at all, because I can tear down all the Tailscale stuff and not see any traffic between the client and the camera on the LAN.

Has anyone have a clue how to go about configuring this? Thanks in advance!

I’ve actually had Tailscale disabled on it for some time now because my ISP’s (a cable operator) TV app knows via some tvOS API that a VPN is running and effectively shuts down.

My solution is to remove the Tailscale app completely, then when traveling put it behind a travel router (this works fantastically).

I’ll have to look into resolving my issue again soon; I just haven’t had time to follow up on this.
