Blocked WiFi at a car dealership? One dev routed traffic home by turning his Mac Mini into a Tailscale exit node

Developer iannuttall shared a handy fix after hitting a bad WiFi connection at a Volvo dealership that blocked a bunch of services, including his Amp coding portals.
His workaround: use Jump Desktop to remotely turn his home Mac Mini into a Tailscale exit node, routing all traffic back through his home internet. A neat example of how Tailscale exit nodes can rescue remote developers on hostile networks.
