    Loved the video, Tony! I still think Tailscale is one of, if not the best option for most users. Especially now that they changed their free tier!

    I came across your video while searching for a solution about an issue that I encountered while setting up my Hyper backup on my 2 NASs using Tailscale. The issue that I encountered is that for some reason I believe that port 6281 might be the cause for both NASs not being able to communicate in order to complete that backup task. Everything is working perfectly when both machines are on my home LAN. Also I am able to log in to both machines from my computer on Tailscale as they are both showing online on Tailscale's page. I had previously set up some ACL's on Tailscale for other machines present on my Telnet, so in order to simplify things and eliminate any possible firewall issues, I deleted all ACLs and defaulted to the "allow all" rule where all the nodes would see each other. But even with that, i am still not able to log in to the target machine. I am using the latest stable Tailscale version on both NASs. I was wondering if you came across such an issue while setting up your Tailscale Hyper backup, and if yes, how did you fix the issue?
    Thank you

      @QuikTechSolutions  Рік тому

      Hi Jack, thanks for watching. I have not encountered this issue you describe. If you suspect the issue is with the port number, have you tried using a different port number. I’d be curious to hear the results. Have a great day.

      @@QuikTechSolutions thank you for taking the time to reply.
      Actually the issue was resolved. First: by stopping the firewalls on both NASes which allowed the connection to be established between them using the same port number (6281), then by turning both firewalls ON and reapplying my set rules back again along with Tailscale's ACLs, the connection remained active even after restarting both NASes.
      Btw, I already had the "Allow" rule for port 6281 even before turning both firewalls OFF and ON again. Anyways, regardless of what caused the glitch at the beginning, at least now Hyper Backup is working perfectly as I intended for it to function.
      I hope this solution might be of help to anyone out there who might encounter a similar issue. Cheers!

      The only thing I can offer is this - once you SSH into the NAS and execute the command “sudo tailscale up” if you are not automatically redirected to the Tailscale login page, copy the URL that was generated in the SSH window and point your web browser to that URL. This should take you to the login page. Have a good day.

    I. Have not used Tailscale due to it insistence of having to use a third party service to create a login. I have a low distrust of these services and don’t see why a user name and password can’t suffice.

      Tailscale is set up with outbound traffic script ran on my server and the remote server.
      I launch hyper back up. Enter the remote IP address. I put in port 6281, I click login. It brings me to the synology sign in page of the remote server. I sign in successfully and immediately kicks me back to the hyper back up screen, but instead of showing me the drop-down to choose the shared folder. It wants me to click login again. My username is not showing up best to the login button. I have to login again. It brings me back to the sign in page And the loop continues
      I can’t find anywhere online of someone having this issue . If you have any ideas I would appreciate the input
