==Split DNS==
Tailscale allows you to overwrite the DNS on each client and supports split DNS.<br>
You can combine this with a custom dns resolver (e.g. nextdns) to rewrite certain DNS entries when Tailscale is connected.<br>
One idea could be to let Cloudflare proxy all your websites to get CDN, DDOS protection, etc. But clients with Tailscale can directly connect with your webserver.<br>
* Note that one issue with this is that applications and OSs tend to cache DNS results so switching Tailscale on and off can be an issue.
* If you only need access when Tailscale is connected, you can just stick the Tailscale IP as a public DNS entry.
