I tried windscribe and proton vpn. Neither work with tailscale running on my Mac. I have to disable them. Does Mullvad work alongside tailscale?
I use mullvad via Tailscale. It’s a little different as you don’t actually ever have anything to do with mullvad, you pay Tailscale for the service ($5) and then you are able to use mullvad vpn exit nodes. It took me a little while to figure out cause I kept looking at their mullvad website and thinking how on earth do I make them work together
You can buy the Tailscale/Mullvad plugin, I think that’s the only way to make the two work together “seamlessly”. I didn’t want to pay for that, so I put a reverse proxy and tailscale on another VM and pointed the reverse proxy to the services I want to access remotely with tailscale.
i think you need to look into routing. Specifically, split tunneling.

I tried split tunneling the tailscale app on windscribe. That didn’t work. I’m not like too tech literate sorry.
Well, it’s easy to set up and consisyently passes Mullvad’s leak test. The again, yesterday Google(*) insisted in believing I was in Iran (not the selected exit node)…
Guess I’ve, involuntarily, been drafted to the Iranian cyber command.
(*) I was fidgeting around with running Chrome through a KASM server.
I have a nextcloud server. I’m using tailscale to connect to it remotely.
Nice! Since you already have tailscale, you can get the Mullvad plugin for it: https://tailscale.com/mullvad
Its $5 per month which is what Mullvad costs on its own anyway. The difference is it’s a recurring monthly charge and you can’t pay for like a year or anything in advance. To me, that was a benefit.
I use this. It makes everything extremely simple.
