  • when setting up tailscale subnet router, we need to enable ip masquerading
  • what is ip masquerading?
    • it’s just another name for NAT
    • in fact, it’s a form of SNAT, Source Network Address Translation
    • it allows subnet router to modify the source ip address when it forwards ip packets
  • meaning the receiver of the ip packet won’t see who’s the actually sender, it can only see the subnet router’s ip address
