Thanks for the video, but it doesn't work for me. Tailscale settings are fine, tried to ping my android mobile in HA Terminal&SSH, nothing. I tried NordVPN (I have a NordVPN account) and it doesn't work either. I previously did DuckDNS access with portforward on the Vodafone router, it worked, but I experienced several foreign access attempts, so I canceled it. I'm at a loss as to why it isn't working for me.

Maybe firewall problem? Windows 10 Pro and Android 11.

Hey, I tried to think of a possible explanation for this, but without having access to your computer to run some tests I can be of much help. For me tailscale has worked in many restricted scenarios (firewalls, subnets, etc), It seems very strange that it doesn't work in your case, You might want to check using cloudflare with a custom domain, so you can open the port in your router, and restrict which countries your instance is exposed to so you can minimize the foreign access attempts.

Great video.
Installed it on my phone and everything went well.
Added my PC to the machines, installing tailscale, but can't access it.

It might have something to do with Windows firewall, not with tailscale
