Is there a way to determine if a particular connection is falling back to DERP today?

I have a pretty basic setup with tailscale setup on an Apple TV behind a bunch of UniFi devices and occasionally tunnelled traffic is incredibly slow.

Wondering if it’s worth setting this up on my Plex server which is behind fewer devices and has a lot of unused network and cpu.





tailscale ping <node IP>

It will tell you how each ping has been answered until a direct connection is established.
