OP here’s a troubleshooting approach i would take:

1. ensure services can be reached locally, thus eliminating tailscale as a variable. test on the host itself as well as another device on the same network.

2. attempt connecting, with tailscale enabled, to the services directly. meaning, go to the hosts’s tailscale IP:port in a browser and NOT through heimdall

3. if the above work, then it’s an issue with heimdall. edit the config as previously mentioned to link the services to the host’s tailscale IP:port, or have two instances of heimdall - one for local and one for remote

Thanks for the idea!

Very basic shortcut that will open the remote control app when run.
