Install a Router as Tailscale Client

I did it on the router itself. I used this link to do it: https://9to5answer.com/disable-ipv6-with-openwrt

Your results may be a little different than mine, but with the router set as a subnet router I was able to get it to work properly. The only issue that I'm having right now is though my solution works, after a couple of hours Tailscale crashes on that device, not sure why. Worse than that, it doesn't crash my internet when Tailscale goes down, so in a real world scenario, it would leak my IP. I think the issue is most likely something simple like my router just can't handle that amount of processing and it crashes.

I think I am going to buy one of these: https://store-us.gl-inet.com/collections/travel-routers they make travel routers with a custom build of OpenWrt pre-installed on them with Tailscale support built in that you can use through a UI. They also have a built in killswitch feature which will solve my issue with the crashing leaking my IP on my current router. They are also native setup to be able to be used as a wifi bridge so if you are in an AirBnb or something that only has wifi and no modem, you can connect this to the wifi signal and this will still route all your internet traffic through Tailscale through your exit node. Here is the page that has all of their routers that support Tailscale: https://docs.gl-inet.com/router/en/4/tutorials/tailscale/

For the "kill switch," first set up the vpn as a separate firewall zone if it isn't already. Have a config forwarding from lan to vpn. Remove the default config forwarding that allows lan to wan. Then the only way for lan to reach the Internet will be via VPN. If the VPN fails the LAN will be blocked from using the raw Internet.

This is firewall setup to route all traffic to VPN.
It's a wireguard VPN and route all traffic to the VPN.

You can try to use this setup on router B and see if it works

I have tried all configurations recommended by you like doctor strange but any of them is working :cry: :frowning_face:

could you tell what command have you executed in the Server side?? have you add this "--snat-subnet-routes=false" also??

Well I could fix this
When I configure the tailscale in the Router B which is direct to internet tailscale is not working. Look the example (Not working tailscale as Client Router)

When I attach the Router B to other Router (Similar Example as Router A) Which it is direct to internet Tailscale is working perfect
Look the example (working perfect tailscale as Client Router)

I got this result in speed test

here the explanation
