      Hello, Charles, I am current using VPN on my pc for privacy reason, but when I install Tailscale on my pc, VPN doesn't work at all. so I want to use port forwarding on my router. Can I use multiple TinyPilots for controlling multiple equipments from defferent locations?

      1. Hi Jennifer, thanks for your question about using TinyPilot with Tailscale and a VPN. I've split your question into a new thread, as the thread you initially replied to is about a different topic.

        You can indeed use multiple TinyPilot devices to control multiple target computers. Accessing multiple TinyPilot devices should work seamlessly within the same network or through a service like Tailscale, but if you're using port forwarding, you'd need to forward each TinyPilot device to a different external port.

        That said, we usually advise against port forwarding, and Tailscale can work alongside VPNs, so I'd recommend contacting Tailscale or your VPN provider for advice on setting up the two services to work together.
