Would it be unwise to make my file server (SSH only) machine (also runs a Minecraft server, And From time to time runs RSTS/E under simh) a tailscale router node to allow my traveling notebood access to the network when I am away?

Sounds right to me. Here's a link to some useful Tailscale documentation that helped me when setting up my own home lab: Tailscale Lockdown UFW

Thanks! That does look useful! Why does Tailscale use the 100.x.y.z range of IP addresses? Aren't those also normal routable addresses?

That's just the block of addresses that they have been allocated by ICANN.

From the above for those who find it TTDU, This block of addresses is set aside for internally routed nodes inside ISPs.

( *TTDU Too technical didn't understand )
