Hi there,

I’m using AudioRelay on Arch Linux (`v0.27.5`) and trying to make it accessible over [Tailscale](https://tailscale.com), a mesh VPN that creates a virtual network interface (`tailscale0`) with an assigned IPv4 address (e.g., `100.x.x.x`).

When launching AudioRelay, I see the following network addresses detected:

```auto
Network addresses: NetworkInfo(
  broadcastAddresses=[0.0.0.0, 10.42.0.255, 192.168.178.255],
  localAddresses=[10.42.0.0, 10.42.0.1, 192.168.178.49]
)

```

However, my Tailscale IP (`100.89.146.109`) is not picked up, even though it’s correctly assigned and reachable from other Tailscale devices.

I suspect the reason is that the `tailscale0` interface has these flags:

```auto
<POINTOPOINT,MULTICAST,NOARP,UP,LOWER_UP>

```

And no MAC address (`link/none`), no broadcast, and marked `POINTOPOINT`. This may cause AudioRelay to ignore it.

I’d like AudioRelay to either:

- Include valid Tailscale IPv4 addresses in its detected interfaces, or
- Provide an option to **manually specify a listening address** (e.g., via CLI or config file)

But haven’t found any of these in start options…  
Thanks!
