Why would that even look like?

When I set it up it promised a 10 minute install time. For me a fair portion of that 10 minutes was trying to work out if it was working as my line speed was higher than I thought possible. It’s scary how quick it is to configure.

Just install tailscale on something in your home network, and start it up advertising as an exit node. On your laptop, select the exit node from the tailscale menu. Now all your internet traffic will go through that machine.

Have you tried Nebula (https://nebula.defined.net)? I set up a personal Nebula network a few months ago and have been very happy with it thus far. It has the ability to do mesh-style direct routing so you don't necessarily have to pay the out-and-back latency cost if you're connecting to a location that is closer.

Tailscale peers will directly connect.

Nebula works great. I don’t need some of the emergent bells and whistles of Tailscale, and Nebula works on devices which don’t yet have WireGuard.

Use Tailscale on an iOS device and you’ll move away within a day. It’sa major battery hogger on iOS.

They are working on it.

I still run Wireguard proper on my iOS device... it switches automatically when I am off my home SSID.

But I run Tailscale everywhere else.
