Paging nerds who may use #Tailscale AND #Plex with Remote Access:

Is there a way to have both of these conditions apply?
1. Be connected to my tailnet (so I can access my local NAS stuff)
AND
2. NOT Have the traffic to Plex go through Tailscale? I noticed it's wwaaayyyyy slower than going through Plex's relay stuff. Which seems counterintuitive because that'd be like, less hops but in practice the difference in speed is really noticeable when streaming stuff ~9000km away.

Is this doable? I feel like Tailscale can be configured to such a degree that this would be doable but I have no clue what to even Google for because I am a baby when it comes to networking stuff.

Caveat: Plex is being served on the same IP as my other services hosted on my NAS. I'm sure there would be a way to make it have its own IP but I am not doing that change while I'm 9000km away lol

@Eramdam p sure only allowing some ips through is a setting in most vpns so I'd be very suprised if tailscale didn't have it

@noiob well, most of my NAS services are on the same IP, only through different ports 🙈
