Actually its still technically in the solar system, its simply passed the Heliosphere.
It won't officially enter true interstellar/intergalactic space for another 30,000 years.
Taken from New Atlas-
"It's important to note that whilst Voyager 2 has left the Heliosphere, it isn't even close to leaving the solar system. The edge of the solar system is generally acknowledged to be located beyond the Oort Cloud.
This massive bubble made up of icy debris is thought to begin at a distance of 1,000 astronomical units from our Sun. For reference, an astronomical unit is the equivalent to the average distance between the Earth and the Sun, which is roughly 93 million miles.
At its current speed, Voyager 2 most likely wouldn't reach the inner edge of the Oort Cloud for another 300 years. Assuming it could survive the debris, it wouldn't pass through to the other side ― a further 100,000 AU ― for about 30,000 years."
We have got a little while longer to wait before its in true interstellar space, but at least its outside the range of most of the planets in the solar system!
