So, I live with my parents, and I recently (a few months, but I’ve been using it a lot more the past few weeks) set up a personal home server on an intel NUC I got secondhand (which I wiped and all). We have 2 routers/access points (idk the terminology; two boxes with antennas that we can connect to, both for the same network, one of which is connected to the house internet and the other connected to the first via a 5 GHz connection iirc). My server is connected via ethernet to the secondary AP.
Anyway, my parents have been complaining about my server maybe causing issues with the internet. We’ve been having issues forever, but this is “new issues”, and I can’t actually guarantee it’s not because of it so I kinda have to look into it. The symptoms are:
The most recent significant change to the setup was connecting my server to cloudflare/with a domain name instead of accessing raw ports with a tailscale IP. The setup is:
Because I’m using cloudflare tunnels my external IP has, as far as I know, never been exposed and has never been in DNS.
Could any of this cause these issues, particularly the android warning? If so, is there a fix? If not, what could be causing that?
