In my area, the majority of McDonald's customers use the drive thru, and the dining room isn't very busy. So for the price of a coffee I can get a couple hours of work done from a table near a power outlet and wifi.
My only complaint is their firewall blocks the tailscale control plane.
At my location I can get an iced tea with free refills. Then I fill out the survey listed on the paper receipt and use that to get a buy one sandwich get one free deal.
Of all the places I could spend some time to work, a greasy, run-down, dirt-cheap fast food "restaurant" really is the last option… I’d pay more voluntarily to not spend a second there longer than necessary.
Traffic monitoring for a fast food chain is dubious at best even in the unencrypted days, but basically useless since the advent of HTTPS and TLS everywhere.
I connect to work over a traditional VPN. Is there some way for me to send that tunnel through Tailscale? I want to do that because our VPN whitelists IPs.
No, I mean connect to my home with Tailscale then turn on my work VPN so the office VPN endpoint sees my home IP and not the remote IP (usually my phone's IP because I'm using it as a hotspot).
As it is now, I have to call IT and give them my phone's IP to get it temporarily whitelisted so I can work remote. If I could go through Tailscale I wouldn't need to do that.
