Tailscale compatibility

I’ve previously tried another cloudy product [removed] which embraces a similar concept as NoMachine 9, surrender your keys and never have to remember an IP address or network config again, however I noticed it wasn’t able to detect and then utilize a tailscale tunnel and there was no way to prioritize the routing via to go over the tailscale mesh. Is NoMachine any different when both the host and client are part of a tailscale mesh network or will it attempt to establish p2p ignoring the tailscale vpn?

NoMachine Network will use whatever is the route set in your network, to reach the remote end-point, to reach the IP. It will use hole-punching and the other methods only if the IP is unreachable, by the standard means, So, in other words, no need “to prioritize the routing” “to go over the tailscale mesh”. But I’d like to understand what you mean with “surrender your keys”. NoMachine Network does not “hand over” any cryptographic information, needed to establish the connection. NoMachine Network works only at the “IP level”, all the usual cryptographic security remains in place as it was designed.
