Tailscale on slower GL.iNet devices + employee wifi
I was a little frustrated when I upgraded an older/slower E750V2 router and found it had removed Tailscale support from the official packages (and as I was away from home, got kicked off the router)
So digging into it, I found out they didn't want to support it because of the slow specs. Not content with this, and with the help of some AI, I whipped up working packages (and a few extra features) in an open source package to get it working on this and other devices. Take a look here
Biggest win here is the toggle for the automatic firewall setup, so you can easily give devices behind the router access to Tailscale services. This was getting quite tedious with every new device we setup.
Further to this, we often send off routers to employees that work remotely, but the biggest hassle is we don't want the employee to have access to Tailscale secrets, and we also don't want them to have root access on the device. So what did we do? Another plugin of course
You can set a password, or just give access to anyone with the wifi details access to get on foreign networks. Great for debugging remote problems (and yet more Tailscale solutions!)
Open to feedback and suggestions
Edit: Added Mullvad support as a separate package
