I am toying with the idea of using one of my Tailscale instances as traditional VPN, using the exit node features. I think I have that part down to a note as far as what has to be done in order for this to happen.
My question is if there are any security risks or security provisions that need to be made to keep the envelope secure. I am the only user of my Tailscale network, so I don’t have to worry about another user jacking things up. However, I am concerned about the implications of the visibility of the exit node I would be connecting to.
I loved Tailscale for about a year but am moving away from it because having multiple exit nodes with each redirecting traffic via commercial VPNs with DNS-based ad blocking and App Connectors grew way too complex.
I’m not saying you’re doing all this but if you do get to a point where you’re directing traffic to multiple countries Tailscale turns into nightmare to manage.
What are you moving away to? I’m assuming you’re still keeping your VPNs and DNS ad-blockers etc?
