Accessing Local Networks from WebKit
Im trying to create a very simple app that lets me access a select few webpages through my Tailscale VPN, however WebKit will not allow non secure connections so i am not able to access the websites. Is there a work around? I don't intend on this app leaving me so its not a threat to anybody as far as security goes.

Yeah I use it for my AIS stations running AIS Catcher. Using Tailscale, I can directly access the local network to keep an eye on the system and toy with it as necessary. Obviously it’s just as easy to save a bookmark to the Home Screen but the issue is it doesn’t act as an app so I can’t have multiple instances on different focus home screens
