Its not just the ping command.. For me, no WAN networking commands work.. Including, curl, wget and ping.. At least I was able to connect Tailscale ig..
Ping specifically unfortunately isn’t available since it relies on ICMP packets, WebVM’s virtual network interface only supports TCP and UDP at the moment.
Other WAN commands should work though. I just verified it myself. Same goes for global internet access but it does require an exit node to be set up in your tailscale network. You can read how to do so here.
You can skip the "Use an exit node" section as webVM enables usage itself, just make sure to not miss the IP forwarding instructions if you’re using linux!
You can also check your connection status by checking the dot colour on the "connect to tailscale" button (which should now show your tailscale IP). On local network connection it will be orange, global will be green.
If you’re still running into issues let me know! I’ll update the docs to add some clarity on how to set it up.

worked after configuring the exit node.. Maybe one can implement the pinging somehow in the future, not sure..
