Has anyone tried Tailscale to connect to Jellyfin?

I am not very knowledgeable about networking. I found I can connect to my Jellyfin server if I set under Networking “Allow remote connections” and in the remote IP address filter I put the remote IP that Tailscale assigns to my iPhone.

Is this how it’s supposed to work? I didn’t expect to have to use Remote Access Settings. I thought the point of Tailscale is to make it like you are on a local network.

    Thanks for the explanation. That part is clear, and I can access the server/Mac computer from my iPhone using the 100.x IP address. But if I’m on cellular I need to have Remote Access Settings enabled in order to connect.

    Edit: Actually on Wifi too on the same local network I need remote access enabled if I’m using the 100.x IP addresses. Using the usual IP pre-Tailscale I don’t need remote access on wifi.
