Restoring private access over Tailscale

I traced remote access timeouts to the route into the lab management network and checked that the services I needed were reachable again.

What changed

I corrected the subnet advertised through Tailscale so my remote Windows workstation could reach services on the private lab network.

What I checked

After updating the route, I retested access to the Proxmox management service. I also checked that TCP port 445 was reachable for the Windows file-sharing service.

What I learned

A connected VPN tells you the tunnel is up. Testing the application and its port tells you whether the traffic can reach the service you need.
