It's likely just `tailscale serve https / <upstream>`. https://github.com/tailscale/tailscale/blob/main/ipn/serve.g... And they also support direct embedding: https://tailscale.dev/blog/embedded-funnel I think this is built on the wireguard-go + gvisor mashup, that allows you to do this with just Wireguard: https://github.com/WireGuard/wireguard-go/tree/master/tun/ne... One of my favorite applications of this is this little tool that turns Wireguard VPNs into SOCKS5 proxies (which you can selectively enable in your browser) https://github.com/octeep/wireproxy

Sure, you can bridge in either direction (using e.g. this [1] excellent Wireguard-to-SOCKS adapter), but in my view, if you have bytestream semantics, you're often better off using a bytestream-oriented proxying protocol (like SOCKS, SSH or HTTP) and vice versa. These bridges/adapters do have their applications though – I have a home router that supports Wireguard natively, but not any of the higher-level protocols; this lets me use my per-tab approach with it.
