tailscale-up: Connect using a specific node for internet traffic.
$ sudo tailscale up --exit-node=${exit_node_ip}
try on your machine

This command is using the program tailscale with the up option to establish a secure connection to the Tailscale network, where sudo is used to execute the command with administrator privileges.

The --exit-node=${exit_node_ip} flag specifies the exit node IP address to be used for outbound traffic. An exit node in Tailscale refers to a node in the network that acts as a gateway to the broader internet. By specifying the exit node IP address, you are instructing Tailscale to route your outbound traffic through that particular exit node.

The ${exit_node_ip} is a placeholder that should be replaced with the actual IP address of the desired exit node.
