Tailscale can tunnel all your traffic through a chosen exit node so you browse the web and whatnot as if you were at home (or wherever the exit node is), so in this way it's a bit like a VPN from a VPN company, but it doesn't give you a list of countries to select from.

VPN companies aren't really in the business of selling VPNs. They sell proxies, especially proxies that let you appear to come from some country, and you typically connect to the proxy using the VPN functionality (particularly if you're using a consumer device instead of a laptop), but often you can use SOCKS5 instead.
