One useful additional aspect to Tailscale that I've not seen mentioned so far, is the integration with Mullvad.

Using that you can get the benefit of their network servers, appearing just as standard Tailscale exit nodes, which is handy if you need to geo-shift traffic at all.

Indeed, this saved my butt earlier this year when I was at Qatar airport and they tried to MITM most of my connections (including to mullvad.net). Luckily, they didn't MITM tailscale.net, so I could log in, enable Mullvad, and thereby secure my entire traffic.

Can you give more details for the un-initiated? What is Mullvad? How and why would you use this feature?

Is it to use it as a kind of VPN to make traffic "appear" from any country, and, eg, watch Netflix?
