I know there has been conversations about using Tailscale to crack the
Netflix lockdown. Has anyone had the same success with YouTube TV? I
assume the VPN should work the same but I wonder if Google has found a
workaround.

Tailscale is only to connect to devices in your network without
opening ports. It's not a substitute VPN like nord or private Internet
access.

While I haven't tried it yet, my plan was to assign Netflix my NordVPN
dedicated IP and share that connection via nordlynx (wireguard). The
only issue you may run into is devices that don't support wireguard so
you can use the nordlynx connection sharing.

That's what OP is asking. Certain services restrict where you can
login from, to clamp down on credential sharing.

Some people setup a VPN into their local network, then connect to the
service, so all the logins look like they're from the same place.

That's one of the uses of Tailscale.

Among other things, you can set up any of your machines as an "exit
node" (https://tailscale.com/kb/1103/exit-nodes/) and route traffic
through that node.

So if you have an exit node on your home network and go across the
world. You can use tailscale to make all your traffic look like it's
coming from your hose.
