I don't know whether I'm knowledgeable enough for Tailscale, but I'll give it a try. Thanks.
Thanks for that explanation. I have seen references to Tailscale forever and even looked at the official web site... And you explained it better than they did.
Thanks for the clearest explanation of Tailscale I've read.
Interesting write-up. But I wonder e.g. what the benefit of this would be over using Wireguard? It's easy enough to set up on a UK router and then with a tap of the button you're sending requests via your personal VPN to UK to the internet.
Tailscale is wireguard but even easier.
How is this different from a VPN provider? Both are breaking out from a node in the country where you want to consume your media. Only one is used by 1000's, one is used just by you.
Not dissing tailscale or anything. But just curious from a technical pov.
Commercial VPN-providers IP-addresses are known, and easily identified by things like the amount of traffic coming from them.
A single user connecting from a residential IP's indistinguishable from legitimate traffic.
mulvad is here to help. unless your already using mulvad and bbc blocked their ips.

No, I have Nord. At the time I subscribed, I hadn't discovered all the wondrous things on Sail the High Seas or FMHY. Nord looked like my best bet judging by search engine results.
I just tried Tailscale. Downloaded & installed, then nothing. Task Manager told me their GUI was running, but I didn't see it. Repaired (via uninstall) & tried again. Same. Uninstalled & reinstalled. Same. Tried running as admin, just in case. Same. I'll try again another time.
nord is a double edge sword w/ all their advertising. more customers but more government notice. iplayer may have borked nords ips or nord might just be fuckin up. doesn't seem like you need tailscale, seems like you need a different vpn to test with. mulvad is an easy recommendation, but i recommend shopping around and finding somebody you can conceivably trust. because when you route your internet through them you should probably personally vet past their ads.
thanks
