07/12/2022, 5:46 AMwhen a node becomes an egress, what does it exactly do? Does it add a src NAT or masquerade iptables rule to the node? Is there anyway to disable NAT and have the egress node participate in an existing BGP network?

07/12/2022, 11:07 AMinstead of creating an egress gateway you can simply add "Additional AllowedIPs" in the UI, and then you can add whatever rules you want to route to those IPs

07/12/2022, 3:42 PMin this case I'd do a normal node

07/12/2022, 3:42 PMyou want to configure all the client networking yourself, and basically all you're saying with AllowedIPs is "these addresses are reachable on this node"
