I use tailscale with an exit node. I just need location control. Wireguard gives me that.

Wireguard doesn't give you exit nodes, it's just the encrypted L3 stack.

Whomever is responsible for your exit nodes actually gives you this functionality.

If it's tailscale itself then they use mullvad nodes as exit nodes which I welcome very much.

That's why I said tailscale lol. But I understand, I guess I said it in a confusing manner.

You can also set on of your devices as an exit node for your Tailscale network. Kind of cool.

I do this but this means two things: * I am tied to paying the exit node so my identity is known to the provider * I am responsible for the upkeep of said node
