[Tailscale] Can't connect VPS to local network? (lemmy.dbzer0.com)

I set up Headscale and Tailscale using Docker on a VPS, which I want to use as my public IPv4 and Reverse Proxy to route incoming traffic to my local network and e. g. my home server. I also set up Tailscale using Docker on my home server and connected both to my Headscale server.
I am able to ping on Tailscale container from the other and vice versa and set up --advertise-routes=192.168.178.0/24 on my home server as well as --accept-routes on my VPS, but I can't ping local IP addresses from my VPS. What am I missing?
Both container are connected to the host network, I have opened UDP ports 41641 and 3478 on my VPS.

So to confirm your behavior, you can tailscale ping each other fine and tailscale ping to the internal network. You cannot however ping from the OS to the remote internal network?

Exactly.

Have you checked your routing tables to make sure the tailscale client added the route properly?

How do I do this? I use Headscale and headscale routes list shows the following:

ID | Machine | Prefix           | Advertised | Enabled | Primary
1  | server  | 0.0.0.0/0        | false      | false   | -
2  | server  | ::/0             | false      | false   | -
3  | server  | 192.168.178.0/24 | true       | true    | true

Also have you checked your firewall rules? If you’re using ipfw or something, try just turning off iptables briefly and see if that lets you ping through.

I'm not using a firewall, but the VPS is hosted on Hetzner, which has a firewall. But I already allowed UDP port 41641 and 41641. The wg0 rule is from the Wireguard setup I want to replace using Tailscale.

    How do I do this?

    Run ip route show table all

    I would expect to see a line like:

    192.168.178.0/24 dev tailscale0 table 52

    Out of curiosity on a remote node do tcpdump -i tailscale0 -n icmp and then do a ping from the other side, does tcpdump see the icmp packets come in?

    There is no tailscale0, but also not on my home server which also runs Tailscale and which I can access remotely using my Android. Could my existing Wireguard setup interfere with Tailscale?

    The tailscale client should have created an interface, but I've never used it on a box also running wg. You don't have a tailscale specific interface in ip addr show at all? That's.... odd.

    Do you have a device at /dev/net/tun?
