Anyone got OPNSense to use a TailScale Exit node elsewhere instead of its "wan"?

Hi all,

I can configure OPNSense for Tailscale perfectly fine.
Can also configure as an exit node or to expose whatever is behind it via subnet router option.

Massive shout out to Sheridan Computers for writing the plugin too.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VD2oMin_V3M is what I followed along to.

I have a linode linux already configured as an exit point which has been working nicely for a while now, but only with a single client.
I would like to "transfer" my entire home setup to use this exit point now.

So, I don't think the plugin is mature enough for this, but am curious if anyone has done this prior to the plugin release and are willing to share their success?

There's chatter around having two wan connections:

or

modifying outbound NAT with the additional of FW rules
https://forum.opnsense.org/index.php?topic=45530.msg227721#msg227721

but both haven't succeeded.

And so am wondering if anyone has successfully done this and are willing to share.

ta.
