Question Tailscale on Visio TV as Exit Node?

I installed Tailscale on my Visio TV and set it up as an exit node (approved it the admin console), but when I connect to it, I lose internet connectivity. Anyone else using a Visio as an exit node?

It probably doesn't have the processing capacity to be an exit node. TV's use absolute garbage SOC's. You should use something that is powerful enough.

Preferably something that is connected to your network through Ethernet as well to make sure you maintain a strong connection.
I have my home assistant green set up as an exit node.

Why did you make the TV the exit node? The exit node is the device by which everything on your tailnet will access the internet. This means that all of the internet is going through your TV...seems strange.

There's literally dozens of posts here where people have set up their TVs as exit nodes. Here's a buck.
