Tailscale and two NICs

Hi all,

Anyone with a similar setup to this:

I have a machine with 2 NICs one for default gateway and other a "private" subnet with a service I need to access remotely for a few days (basically its a wifi router where a wifi-only device connects).

Will tailscale work for this case plug'n'play or will I need setup any routing?

witx OP ,

Thanks for your answers. I wasn't able to get what I wanted to work but that's because the device used broadcast for discoverability which doesn't work through subnets. I pivoted to something else

It's Wireguard, so you'd just change the Wireguard profile to use a specific interface. The routing between the two networks is handled at the routing table, and all will be available to route to.

Tailscale is an overlay network. It will use whatever networking is available. If only one of those NICs is a gateway, then that’s what will be used to reach remote Tailnet resources.
