Is there any page that describes how to actually get VPN work end to end with tailscale? I am a newbie and would like to understand.

  Install the client on two devices and log in with a Gmail account. That's it. They'll be assigned IPs and can reach each other. (I'm a co-founder of Tailscale.)

    what's local networking got to do with gmail?

      There needs to be a mechanism to distribute keys to nodes / authenticate nodes / associate nodes. Tailscale offers a centralized server to allow nodes to provision themselves. It bootstraps that trust/account system of of logging in with some account, such as via a google oauth login.

        Right! That makes sense, thanks.
