Hi. What's the best way to access my content from a remote location? I've got tailscale set up but I'd prefer to cast the content to a TV instead of watching on my phone.

Is there an easy way to accomplish this? If so, how? I've tried searching but nothing obvious/easy comes up.

That's fair, I don't use Tailscale either but was thinking that would affect the WAN side of things rather than the LAN that the phone and Chromecast are on. Looking into it a bit more it sort of seems like OP would need to configure Subnet routing on their Tailscale configuration to enable their Tailscale to forward traffic to devices on the local LAN?

That was just from some quick searching around but since I don't use Tailscale I can't say for sure if that's a solution (or even if Tailscale is the culprit here).

And yes for sure if OP doesn't specifically need/want Tailscale then maybe a different remote solution would be something to try like reverse proxy or whatever they decide on.
