Yes, OP understand that, which is why he is asking about security to the exit node on a Tailnet.
Comment on Using Tailscale As A Traditional VPN
F04118F@feddit.nl 1 week agoThe way I understand it, there’s 2 use cases for a VPN, with different concerns and providers:
- having access to your private home network from anywhere, through an encrypted tunnel (Tailscale, Wireguard on the router, etc)
- having your outgoing traffic to the internet go through an anonymized exit node so that your ISP can not watch or sell what you are doing (ProtonVPN, Mullvad VPN, etc)
Is Tailscale fit for the second? I thought not, as the exit node is not an anonymized VPN server but one of your own machines.

If you create little solar-powered micro computers and toss them onto the roof of a bunch of random businesses with public Wi-Fi, then run them as exit nodes then you could bounce your connection around through a random set.
I didn’t come up with this, I think it was a plot point in some novel I read.

That’s crazy and genius!
