TAILMON TAILMON v1.3.0 -Aug 24, 2025- WireGuard-based Tailscale Installer, Configurator and Monitor (Available in AMTM!)

[Viktor Jaep]

Something I haven't mentioned is that the whole system is incredibly slow.
E.g.
in amtm, I type "tm"
nothing happens for 30 secs, then the screen goes blank
again, nothing happens for 30 secs, then the TAILMON screen appears

from the config screen, I type '9'
nothing happens for 30 secs, then it says "You are on the latest STABLE version!"

I'm guessing there's a couple of 30 second timeouts in there somewhere.

I'd have to agree with @swejuggalo ... you may want to check that nothing is being blocked on Skynet or Pihole? Definitely sounds like something is timing out. That is definitely not normal. On my end, hitting 'tm' is instantaneous coming from AMTM. Same goes for hitting '9' while within TAILMON.

I don't have skynet installed and I don't see anything getting blocked by pihole.
Actually - I'm not sure requests from the router inself go through pihole
Not sure what else to check.

Perhaps run htop in another window while you try to start TAILMON? See what top services are consuming resources?

Anything else in syslog? Any other delays getting DNS responses? Any other scripts, tools or machines experiencing these issues?

No, nothing obvious in htop.
nothing in syslog and the router works fine apart from this.

But, it's not just Tailmon, just doing 'u' from amtm takes ages for each script installed.

(We did go though a similar problem on the amtm thread recently with TheLonelyCoded, but I thought that was fixed somehow).

Sounds like resolution issues? What happens if you bypass running it from AMTM? Just run "tailmon" from the prompt?

Same delays - 30 secs + 30 secs
