   Ah, the glorious denizens of Reddit have definitively informed me that Tailscale, which implements a virtual network, privately, is “not a VPN”.

   Apparently there is an entire generation of users who think a VPN is a personal porn tunnel.

     @goatsarah Theirs is a particularly weird definition to me because the VPN I first met was the Sinister Greenend VPN, which is a collection of nodes and works very much like Tailscale.
