If it matters, the internal DNS server is CoreDNS 1.7.1, which I should probably upgrade sometime. Quitting Tailscale was necessary rather than a simple log out / log in.

Changing the system's DNS resolvers to my internal wireguard accessible DNS server.

Running Wireguard with the config option DNS= in the section is not enough to reproduce the problem. I suspect any public resolver would have been fine. menu item didn't do anything until I changed the system's DNS resolver to 1.1.1.1 and restarted Tailscale.

Delete the Tailscale macOS Keychain entries tailscale-preferences and tailscale-logdata entries.

Remove the Tailscale application VPN entry under System Preferences, Network.

You can use its application view, or just drag the Tailscale.app app bundle on the app’s window, and you’ll see all the associated files that you can optionally delete. I highly, highly recommend it for uninstalling apps in general on macOS, but it’s extremely useful for these kinds of tests. Step 3 is probably what you’re looking for, but I figured I mention the other things I did in case I learn something :). I was curious about the two above statements, so, if I may, I’d like to share what I’ve found. app wasn't sufficient to clean up the auth state.
