Comment on Need some help with networking - tailscale, gluetun etc

Unquote0270@programming.dev ⁨1⁩ ⁨day⁩ ago

Essentially, I want to be able to use a vpn at the same time as tailscale when I am on my phone and away from home or connected to a hotel wifi etc. Android doesn’t allow this but I read about tailscale exit nodes so I have set this up and it works. The issue is that I would prefer to not use my server location as the exit so I want to push traffic into gluetun (which I already have set up with other stuff running in it).

Two separate functions should go into two separate nodes

Run Tailscale binary on host. Connect to Jellyfin server using that node’s IP address.

and

Run Gluetun + another Tailscale instance in containers. Don’t use host networking, use bridge or something else. Connect to that node as an exit node

As an alternative to Gluetun + Tailscale I propose tswg (my project)

How do you expect the packets to actually route? If you run Tailscale and your VPN on your phone, they might fight with each other for control of the routing table.

If you’re trying to use Tailscale exit note to then route through Tailscale to one node running gluetun to Mullvad. That’s going to be complex because against they both want to mess with the routing table.

Tailscale natively supports Mullvad: tailscale.com/mullvad

  Yes, the mullvad integration is essentially what I am trying to achieve because I cannot run both vpn and tailscale as they conflict. Unfortunately I need mullvad on other devices and have spare device slots I can use so it makes no sense to pay another $5 on top.
  
  I was hoping that requests to the jellyfin port would get returned back through tailscale directly and anything else goes on to gluetun. The subnet option sounds like this would be the solution but I could be misunderstanding many things here.
