More recently, to reduce cloud costs, I've setup some a small node at another physical location and installed both Tailscale and [sftpgo](https://github.com/drakkan/sftpgo) on it to facilitate offsite backups. After setting up the infrastructure and adding a Cloud Sync Task in TrueNAS SCALE to replicate these backups offsite to sftpgo, I noticed that Tailscale's Magic DNS was not working, nor was the Tailscale IPv4 address.
After reading the [Tailscale docs](https://tailscale.com/kb/1483/truenas#route-non-tailnet-traffic-through-truenas) , it became clear that the **Userspace** box had to be unchecked in the Tailscale app settings. This is because the Tailscale app is running within a docker container on the TrueNAS SCALE VM. After unchecking the **Userspace** box, I was able to verify that the Backup Credentials created for sftpgo worked when specifying the host as a Tailscale IPv4 address. This was probably good enough since the IP won't change unless the node is re-registered, but I figured setting up MagicDNS would make the setup more portable.

To get MagicDNS working, I went to Network > Global Configuration and set "Nameserver 1" to **100.100.100.100**. After this, I was able to specify the FQDN in the Backup Credentials and the Cloud Sync Tasks started.

This method of adding MagicDNS can lead to issues with DNS when updating the tailscale application in TrueNAS, so I ended using the Tailscale IP directly.
