[alexk101]

System Info Distro: EndeavourOS CPU: 8-core AMD Ryzen 7 6800H with Radeon Graphics (-MT MCP-) speed/min/max: 503/400/4785 MHz Kernel: 6.10.5-arch1-1 x86_64

What worked? Still able to ping 1.1.1.1 and access the internet through IP's directly

What did not work? When using Tailscale with portmaster, I am unable to resolve any DNS queries.

I have discovered a work around. Tailscale manually overwrite /etc/resolv.conf to do dns resolution when it is unable to correctly interface with systemd-resolved. This is the default behavior on most distros bundled with NetworkManager & systemd-resolved. To allow Tailscale to properly communicate, follow the instructions here
