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 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: 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.

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.

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.
