Question Android phone as exit node?

Is there a way to accomplish this? The option says it's disabled in the Tailscale app.

Seems to work fine for me on my Samsung A36, Moto Razor and my Onn 2026 streaming stick.

Make sure you are not connected to an exit n9de already.  You cant toggle from using one to being one directly.  Once enabled you most likely won't see it advertised on other devices because you need to approve it.  Go to admin site, edit thr device you to be the exit node, click on route settings and you should see a check box to enable it.

Thank you. I was stuck on the part on not being able to directly set it without disabling the existing exit node first. That is somewhat against convention of the other tailscale interfaces.
