I tried using tailscale to share my hdhomerun prime tuners over the internet, but sadly, it doesn't seem to work due to Tailscale's lack of support for mDNS lookups[0][1]. You can't just forward the port b/c the hdhr device packets have a ttl of 1 hop (and, while you could change the ttl through iptables, that seems like a lot of trouble).

I can open a stream manually through http://192.168.1.189:5004/auto/v600 while connected to tailscale (w/ my apple tv in-home as an exit node) on my laptop outside of the house, but when I open the HDHR/Channels apps, they can't detect the HDHR tuner itself.

Apparently this "just works" with openvpn, so I've been thinking about just switching back to that.
