  "account": "A Tailscale exit node allows a user's home internet connection to follow them wherever they go, even when they're using mobile data. When the user advertised their home server as a Tailscale exit node and joined the same tailnet on their phone, they could see their home IP address instead of their carrier's. The exit node routes internet traffic from any device on the same tailnet that opts in through another device, which in this case was the home server. The user tested this feature by toggling the exit node on and off, visiting an \"IP check\" website, and observing the difference in IP addresses. When the exit node was on, the phone's IP address corresponded to the home server, while it was a carrier's address when the exit node was off. The speed difference between the two configurations was minimal, but the user suspected that the exit node might help traffic flow better through congested carrier routes. The user also experimented with using Tailscale's existing DNS server, AdGuard Home, while traveling, but encountered issues due to Tailscale's NAT rewriting DNS queries. After a fix, the DNS functionality worked properly while using Tailscale's exit node.",
