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.

    I have Networking > Server address settings > LAN networks blank/default. That sounds like a feature that allows you to specify things as local (maybe that allows for higher bit rate streaming while away or something). I haven’t looked into this at all. For me when I’m away from home lower bandwidth is probably better.
