how to choose an exit node

Hi. I am new to pfsense, so I hope this is not a dumb question. I want to put tailscale on pfsense, but I don't want to use my pfsense as the exit node, but another node I have in my machines. Can this bee done?

Thanks for any suggestions.

Thanks for your response. My question is that from reading the description of how to install the tailscale package on pfsense, it looked like the pfsense node had to be the exit node. Is this true -- if not that is better for me.

Hello,
I would also like to try to use pfsense to connect systems behind it and itself to an exitnode for internet access.

Is this possible somehow?
I only found this post but assigning the interface broke my pfsense, since on every reboot it will reassign the interfaces now, since it does not find tailscale0 when booting.

Assigning the IF is exactly what NOT to do according to: https://youtu.be/Fg_jIPVcioY?t=1182

Where can I create a Feature Request for this, since it would be crucial for us to use tailscale on pfSense?
