Using a Tailscale exit node with GitHub Actions. New TIL. I started running a git scraper against doge.gov to track changes made to that website over time. The DOGE site runs behind Cloudflare which was blocking requests from the GitHub Actions IP range, but I figured out how to run a Tailscale exit node on my Apple TV and use that to proxy my shot-scraper requests.
The scraper is running in simonw/scrape-doge-gov. It uses the new shot-scraper har command I added in shot-scraper 1.6 (and improved in shot-scraper 1.7).
