We lost our fiber internet at 12pm today 3/9 and text messages from the ISP say it won't be back til (at least) 4pm tomorrow. Is anyone else experiencing this in Lincoln Park, near Santa Fe?

TLDR: Linux machines cannot access the public internet through an exit node without the "--exit-node-allow-lan-access=true" flag. Why?

A few months back I posted about an issue I was having trying to set an exit node on my Linux machine.

When using "tailscale set --exit-node=<IP_Address>", my web browsers lost all ability to load webpages outside of my Tailnet. However, any tests I did on connectivity from the CLI such as simple pings to google passed with flying colors

Today, reading through the documentation, I finally decided to try the "--exit-node-allow-lan-access=true" flag. To my absolute delight, this solved the problem, and I am now able to use my Linux mac

Having an issue where exit nodes break my web browsers' connection on a new Arch Linux install.

The exit node is itself working, and my device is still connected to the internet. I can confirm this with a few commands:

shows a clear change of IP address when the exit node is used and then a return to normal when reset

However, Firefox and GNOME web browser stop working completely.

I tried to install/use firefox a bunch of different ways; the tarball, pacman and flatpack...
AI and whatever I can find around the net says that Firefox is designed to ignore kernel DNS a
