One pretty cool thing about this is that because I have my whole network on Tailscale (including my phone) and am running a Pihole DNS server for that Tailnet I can internally use my local IP address for my Mastodon server, so when I use Mastodon myself everything stays inside the home.

Use Pi-hole as a DNS server across your entire Tailnet with Tailscale, without forcing all traffic through an exit node. Ad blocking and internal DNS everywhere.
