thanks, btw does it slow the wifi or device down a lot and is ir free? im already using qubes and whonix and tor on my poor laptop
Tailscale is free and is just a wireguard client/server; there’s apps for Linux/Windows/Android/macOS/iOS, and they shouldn’t make much of an impact. Of course, whatever network traffic you route over it could have an impact, but that’s up to you.
will it help against networks that arent secure or private?
Yes, because you’re using an encrypted channel for all network traffic and your home DNS.
There are some ways that an activity hostile Wi-Fi network can route around some of that, but for most use cases, it provides you a secure extension of your home network.
