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.
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!
