Tailscale is not marketed as an "anonymity VPN". You're still using the devices in your Tailnet.

Tailsacle provides managed, policy-driven secure connectivity, where the network admin controls access, and where packet payloads are end-to-end encrypted between their nodes using device-to-device links that are WireGuard-based. Their TCP relay system (DERP) helps connectivity when direct peer-to-peer isn’t possible, but traffic through DERP still remains end-to-end encrypted.

Thank you for the explanation. I was definitely unclear on the service that Tailscale apparently actually provides.
