Tailscale Exit Node Routing Breaks Local Docker Service Access

Developers running Tailscale with an exit node on their work machine lose access to locally bound Docker services (e.g., PostgreSQL on 127.0.0.1) because Tailscale's exit node routing intercepts all traffic, including localhost. The issue affects developers who need simultaneous VPN-routed outbound traffic and local container networking. A configuration flag (--exit-node-allow-lan-access) exists as a partial workaround, suggesting this is more a documentation/UX gap than a missing product category.

Claude Cowork Desktop Unusable in Corporate Environments Without Proxy

The Claude Cowork desktop app runs in an isolated VM with no awareness of host-system proxy configuration, causing all API calls to fail silently in corporate networks behind HTTP/HTTPS proxies. Unlike Claude Code CLI which supports standard proxy environment variables, Cowork provides no mechanism to configure or inherit proxy settings, completely blocking enterprise adoption.

Reverse Proxies Lack Per-Service TLS Toggle for Self-Hosted Apps

Self-hosters running internal services like Proxmox or Kasm need to skip TLS verification on a per-service basis when using self-signed certificates on a LAN. Current reverse proxy tooling requires global static configuration, forcing users to choose between a blanket insecure setting or manual static file edits for each service.
