Unable to Connect to Tailscale Nodes from Home Assistant OS in VM #427

Description: I cannot connect to other Tailscale nodes from my Home Assistant OS instance running in a virtual machine.

Steps to Reproduce:

Install the Tailscale add-on in Home Assistant OS.
Connect using the domain/name server to the Home Assistant web UI (this works fine).
Attempt to ping or connect to other machines in the Tailscale network from Home Assistant OS.

Expected Behavior:

I should be able to connect to other Tailscale nodes within the network.

Actual Behavior: When I ping other Tailscale nodes, I receive a "bad address" error.

What I Tried: Disabled the "Userspace networking mode" option.

Environment: Home Assistant OS running in a virtual machine. Tailscale add-on installed.

Did you try it with the IP addresses? That should work.

DNS requires additional steps to work. I think I will add that to the docs.

Update: See #376

If I ping IP address it just hangs indefinitely (100% packet loss). Same thing happens when I use Home Assistant Tailscale IP itself.

Please check the add-on's config with the YAML view, do you really have that userspace_networking: false line? The HA add-on UI is broken, you click-clik-save-restart, but in reality you don't have this config line at the end. Though if you have, and you have the tailscale0 interface on your host, it should work, I've tested it a few minutes ago with a vanilla HA VM + TS add-on config, and ping worked with IP.

OK, scratch that. IP does work, the addon just crashed. Thank you for the help!

Crashed?!?!?! Please, please send me the logs (if you don't want to post it here publicly, you can find my email in my github profile). I currently work on healthcheck, and really interested in anything that breaks TS or TS add-on.
