If there is a client with an OSI approved Open Source license, then yes it would be permissible. If not, then likely no per the TOU. [0] It does appear that https://github.com/tailscale/tailscale is licensed under a 3-clause BSD license, so that is helpful. [1] It does not at this point sound like your use case would be a violation of the prohibition on network proxying [2] as the VPN would be for traffic originating from your Cloud VPS instance and not a generally open proxy for others or inbound traffic. I wonder if there is an XY problem [3] here as well. What is the underlying use case that requires you to connect to an off-premise database to operate a Wikimedia focused tool in Cloud VPS? Is this somehow related to your new project to generate ZIM files of MDWiki?
