Hi!  
So I'm coming with very strange, at least for me, problem.

1. I can't connect to ssh via local network, but can do that with tailscale.
2. I have updated dashboard and all those problems start.

If anyone has idea, i would be grateful 😊

NodeRed on RPI2b, bullseye 😉

On the pi, did you activate SSH?  
What device are you trying to ssh into the pi with?

@zenofmud  
Yes ,it worked previously, but after update it start acting weird.  
I re-created ssh file and start working, then did "update" node red and ssh file disappeared again..I can't also access node red UI

You say you recreated the ssh file, can you explain that. Where did you recreate it?  
Did you enable ssh on the pi?

I turned it on in raspi config, I was creating ssh file, which disappears after reboot..for now I can only access pi with tailscale and node red is dead, cant load anything...  
It seems that fastest way will be just starting from scratch..

I suspect your SD card is dying. A common failure mode is that data written to the card does not get copied into the flash memory, so it disappears on reboot.

That would be horrible, but I suspect that might have something to do with system itself...i was able to loft up node red, but somehow its clear no flow..I can still access it from tailscale but not locally even dashboard is not accessible..so wierd

Did you open Node-RED or the dashboard up to the internet?

Was it unprotected (no user/password)?

If you create the /boot/ssh file (or any other file) and immediately reboot and see that the file is no longer there then your SD card is dead.

Why? They are not expensive.  
I assume you are using a new card.

What does the same command show from your PC (or the equivalent in Windows if that is what you are using. ipconfig possibly).

What does this command show running on the PC?  
`ping 192.168.1.101`  
Check `ip a` again to make sure the ip of the pi has not changed.

It is fine as long as im under same subnet.. weird that it happen suddenly, but had to be some router/operator settings..is there anyway that I could override it without accessing router? Is Pi somehow recognized as.IoT?

Show us an example of when it doesn't work. The `ip a` or equivalent commands from the pi and the pc.

I have no idea what you mean by that.
