LANGhost hardens exactly the window between "network interface comes up" and "WireGuard tunnel is established." Without it, your real MAC, hostname, and DHCP identifiers are visible to the public network operator during that bootstrap phase, before any application traffic is protected by the tunnel. I recommend not adding unnecessary complexity by chaining Tailscale and another VPN. A second VPN would only add value if you specifically need to hide your home IP from destination servers.

The perfect use case is untrusted public networks where you want to avoid tracking. It's just another layer of defense and i highly recommend using a VPN alongside this.
For Tails, there's no gap to fill because it already handles MAC randomization and DHCP hardening as part of a purpose-built amnesic system where no identity persists across sessions. Kali is a persistent, general-purpose Linux system managed by NetworkManager, which is exactly LANGhost's target environment. Out of the box Kali does nothing special about MAC randomization, DHCP hostname, IAID, or LLMNR/mDNS. A penetration tester connecting to a client network or a hotel LAN during an engagement leaks the same identifiers any stock Ubuntu machine would. LANGhost would be a genuine improvement for that use case.
