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.

    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_ARGS environment variable in your container to --exit-node= --exit-node-allow-lan-access=true with the exit node name or ip of the Mullvad node. I haven’t tried this myself though.
