Running Tailscale inside every LXC or VM in a home lab creates management overhead and a cluttered admin panel. Switching to a Tailscale subnet router — deployed on OPNsense or a dedicated LXC — lets all devices on the local network be reachable through a single Tailscale node without installing the client everywhere. Additional features like exit nodes and Tailscale Funnel further simplify remote access and service exposure.
