Hi peeps, a little lost in the self-hosting world right now, and hoping someone can point me in the right direction.
I’ve just set up all the *arr apps that i want and need for media, music and books. And am at the step where i am supposed to bind a VPN to my qBittorrent. However, I am ofc running everything behind the beloved Tailscale. But just realised I am not allowed to run tailscale at the same time as another VPN(ProtonVPN in my case).
How do i get past this cross-road? I really want to stick with using Tailscale for accessing my services.
Is a reverse proxy something i should look into instead? I need my server to sit behind a VPN…
Appreciate any tips or tricks for how other people solved this buckle.
Tailscale was updated with direct support for Mullvad, but since you already have Proton I’m guessing you wouldn’t want to switch.
If you’re using containers, you can have one container with your VPN and route traffic from specific containers through the VPN container. You can then have tailscale on the host system.
There’s a quick guide on setting up the VPN part here. Tailscaile you set up normally.
I ended up doing this and it worked swimmingly! ✨
Big shout out to Gluetun VPN for making it so easy!
That’s great to hear! Gluetun looks interesting, I’ll check it out and maybe migrate if it works for me.
Have you figured out how to use the Mullvad VPN from Tailscale for a similar setup like you’ve linked? I cannot figure out how to get a tailscale docker container to properly connect to an exit node.
I use a binhex-privoxyvpn container with a mullvad wireguard config in there. That’s for my server and containers at least.
I have Tailscale directly installed on the host and I don’t use Mullvad so I haven’t tried that setup myself.
Looks like you would need to set the
TS_EXTRA_ARGSenvironment variable in your container to--exit-node= --exit-node-allow-lan-access=truewith the exit node name or ip of the Mullvad node. I haven’t tried this myself though.
Tailscale and Mullvad (VPN company) advertise their compatibility and there is an article that goes into further detail. Of course it’s also possible to setup Wireguard yourself and use a VPN service.
As much as this would be super neat, I just paid for the Proton subscription… having me reconsider though :P

Tailscale + Mullvad They support just a few countries (ignored poor ones), you have to provide your billing address, credit card, full name … and they don’t look very motivated to support more countries. I don’t like the model of these guys.
