Went to look at tailscale vpn and didn't realize it was a service entirely contained within tailscale, so I can't use my existing Mullvad account or credit tailscale with my already-purchased Mullvad credits :(
- sleepybrett 3y agoAw, that sucks. Maybe possible through Mullvad support?
- ezfe 3y agoThey've said they don't plan on allowing that
- gbraad 3y agoI have seen a case where they substituted the credits on Mullvad to the add-on for Tailscale, but this might not be a regular thing. Although, it is also still in Beta and issues have been reported/known, so similarly if you look for a stable solution it might be best to hold out for now.
- sleepybrett 3y agoMaybe because tailscale is supposed to get a haircut of the fee and using credits fucks with the accounting?
- hnarn 3y agoI don't think the service is so much "tailscale for mullvad users" but the other way around, it's intended for existing tailscale users to get an "exit node" of sorts in their tailscale network without having to set it up themselves. Tailscale's business model has never been anonymity, last I used them they even required either a Google or O365 account to even use the service. You might want to look into Headscale[1] instead, it's a server-side implementation of Tailscale that you can self-host. It comes with its own drawbacks but from what I've seen it's worth it if you want more control over the network. [1]: https://github.com/juanfont/headscale https://github.com/juanfont/headscale
