Use case

I'm working to replace a traditional private VPN. The VPN has two VPS servers which serve two purposes. 1) They host the two public egress IPs for the entire network. 2) They serve as redundant IPsec concentrators for all of the branches to connect to. This setup enables one VPN that secures both Internet traffic and internal traffic. To replace this VPN, we need the Recommended Exit Nodes feature from Tailscale so that clients are routing traffic to the closest exit node (possibly on site) an not across the country to the wrong node. Is there any plans to implement this? I recognize that that is a licensed feature of Tailscale which makes things tricky.

Description

Recommended Exit Nodes feature from Tailscale is a feature of Tailscale where clients test each exit node to determine the best to use in terms of latency.

Contribution

  • I can write the design doc for this feature
  • I can contribute this feature

How can it be implemented?
