When I enable a Tailscale exit node on NixOS with sudo tailscale set --exit-node=xxxxxxxx the computer loses all internet connectivity. Note the following:
- I’m getting the exact same behavior on 2 different NixOS computers
- The exit node configuration works fine on my other computers - specifically Windows, Ubuntu, and Android
The specific behavior on NixOS:
- With no exit node configured in the Tailscale client, public internet connectivity is fine and connectivity to remote Tailscale nodes is fine.
- But when I enable an exit node in Tailscale, the computer loses all WAN connectivity to both the public internet and to remote Tailscale nodes
- I’ve tested with Mullvad exit nodes and also a private exit node (on AWS) and the result is the same
- Enabling an exit node with the --exit-noide-allow-lan-access flag works as expected - local network access works when the flag is true and not when it’s false
