A Docker image and infrastructure setup for running Tailscale exit nodes on Fly.io microVMs, deployable with a few CLI commands. It provides kernel-level networking, ephemeral node state, health checks, and CI-automated Tailscale version updates.

Use cases

• run a personal VPN with global exit nodes
• deploy a tailscale exit node on fly.io
• get a VPN exit point in a specific region
• route my traffic through another country
• self-host a VPN without managing a VPS
• set up ephemeral VPN nodes that auto-remove on shutdown

When to choose

• you want region-selectable VPN exit nodes on Fly.io with minimal setup
• you already use Tailscale and want to add exit nodes via infrastructure-as-code
• you want ephemeral, self-healing VPN nodes with health checks and automated updates

When to avoid

• you prefer a fully self-controlled VPN without trusting Tailscale's coordination server (use plain WireGuard or Headscale)
• you want the simplest paid option - Tailscale's Mullvad integration is officially recommended by the project
• you need a no-cost solution, since Fly.io usage incurs charges
