Diagnoses and resolves networking conflicts between Tailscale and proxy or VPN tools on macOS.
Tunnel Doctor is a specialized diagnostic skill designed to identify and repair complex connectivity issues occurring when Tailscale coexists with tools like Shadowrocket, Clash, or Surge. It systematically addresses conflicts across five layers, including routing tables, environment variables, and container runtimes like Docker or OrbStack. By providing automated checks and standardized procedures, it ensures seamless remote development environments, fixing common frustrations like browser 503 errors, SSH timeouts, and Docker pull failures.
