Mullvad and Tailscale Announce Partnership (mullvad.net)

From the article:

Since Tailscale was founded in 2019, customers have been forced to choose between either Tailscale or Mullvad without the ability for them to co-exist.
Today we announce a partnership with Tailscale that allows you to use both in conjunction through the Tailscale app. This functionality is not available through the Mullvad VPN app. This partnership allows customers of Tailscale to make use of our WireGuard VPN servers as “exit nodes”. This means that whilst connected to Tailscale, you can access your devices across Tailscale’s mesh network, whilst still connecting outbound through Mullvad VPN WireGuard servers in any location.

Announcement also on Tailscale blog.

I've never even heard of these guys, but I see that they have a native client on fdroid so that tells me they care about degoogled operating systems which is very important. It means they go out of their way to prioritize privacy even for app stores that aren't profitable.

Mullvad is awesome

They provide useful tools for self-hosters (I x-posted this to !selfhosted@lemmy.world)

Where would I be without Tailscale as a CGNAT user? I think I would have taken the path of evil.

My kind of crazy, never played with tailscale before, but I'm looking forward to it

This is cool! I've been very pleased with Mullvad as a company and with their products. (now if only they hadn't gotten rid of port forwarding, but I get it...)

This is a dream come true. Also it's not working at all for me but I imagine they'll work out the kinks over the next few weeks

[–] m0nky@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Did you enable it in the client on the device? I found that step not very clear in the docs.

[–] solberg@lemmy.blahaj.zone 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

Yes. I filed a bug report.

[–] m0nky@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 2 years ago

Actually, I'm finding the service to be patchy at best.

[–] possiblylinux127@lemmy.zip 5 points 2 years ago

I just use wireguard

[–] totallynotfbi@lemm.ee 3 points 2 years ago

Well, I'm beginning to regret using ZeroTier for my setup now 🙁
