Did you ever need a wormhole to another place in the internet? But you didn't trust the shady VPN providers with ads all over YouTube? Well, why not run it "yourself"? This guide helps you to set up a globally distributed and easyly sharable VPN service for you and your friends.

In order to use tailscale for exit traffic you need to configure a public DNS. Go to https://login.tailscale.com/admin/dns and add the nameservers of your choice (eg. cloudflare: 1.1.1.1, 1.0.0.1, 2606:4700:4700::1111, 2606:4700:4700::1001)
