How would I install Tailscale on a DD-WRT router (such as Netgear R7000) and have it implement a Tailscale subnet router, as described in this article https://tailscale.com/kb/1019/subnets/? Anyone here have success at this in recent months and how is it done?

Thanks

What is Tailscale?
Tailscale is a VPN service that makes the devices and applications you own accessible anywhere in the world, securely and effortlessly. It enables encrypted point-to-point connections using the open source WireGuard protocol, which means only devices on your private network can communicate with each other.


dd-wrt have Wireguard built in.

1st you need to install it via entware and the current version could be the older one
once i asked the guys to update it a d they did but it was a time ago…
2nd why bother with it for remote management ..?? where there is wireguard..ssh or openvpn you can run on router level?
3d i used it shortly it wasn't easy to make it run but was working as it should…i posted a guide in one thread in the forum that i kinda of
managed to make, using some other guidlelines from here and there…
4th best to use the wireguard

I became interested in Tailscale because I want to be able to connect to my home network from outside, while using T-Mobile Home Internet, which uses Carrier Grade NAT.

yes tailscale is working behind a NAT ... here is the guide ... https://forum.dd-wrt.com/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?p=1245613
I haven't used it for a long time, as i use mainly ssh now, but you yes, for remote access/administration you can use Tailscale or ngrok...or stunnel or tinc and ect...
With Zerotier I couldn't make it (on router level), but it will be similar to Tailscale and its also present in Entware as many others too... https://bin.entware.net/mipselsf-k3.4/Packages.html

Currently on Entware
Zerotier is 1.10.2-1
Tailscale is 1.32.3-1
ngrok-c 1.45-20180507-1
stunnel 5.66-1
tinc 1.1pre18-1

at the end of the day you can try with WG.. have a look here and read the egc's guides

Does T-mobile not support IPv6?
If so you might use IPv6 to connect with WireGuard although that is experimental and a WIP.

Seems to be a broken picture in your article. Can you please review/repair and confirm the notes reflect that last best working solution for installing Tailscale. Thanks.
