If you're using Tailscale you can install it on your Apple TV (if you also happen to have one of those devices).

Now you can use your home connection as a proxy through wireguard when traveling.

Tailscale is great, but by itself is the wrong tool for the task of routing traffic over some host only for a single browser tab (but to all destinations for that browser tab), as it seems to be "all or nothing" when it comes to using a remote exit node.

It's probably possible to set up a local SOCKS proxy that knows to use some Tailscale non-exit-node for egress, and to manually allow that traffic within Tailscale and on the remote node, but not out of the box as far as I can tell.

Installing a SOCKS proxy on the remote node, reachable only over Tailscale, would be an alternative, but that doesn't work on an Apple TV.
