Mullvad VPN as an exit node to force all Tailscale's network traffic

[inland oxide]

Is this a possible approach for those who want to keep the anonymity provided by Mullvad's account-creation privacy policy?
A device with stable and high network speed with both Tailscale and Mullvad installed, that could route all exit node traffic to Mullvad servers. All android devices on the network can use Tailscale as the only VPN active app.
What are your thoughts? Thanks in advance.

You can't use Tailscale's Mullvad integration with a native Mullvad account. It needs to be tied to your Tailscale account, and created through there.

I know. I want to manually mimic the official functionality with the help of exit nodes and an existent mullvad subscription, if possible.

you can host gluetun on a server and advertise the gluetun instance as an exit node

dont know if this is still accurate but https://github.com/qdm12/gluetun/discussions/2201

someone here also did this recently and their config is here #self-hosting message
the convo underneath that message is also a cautionary tale of MTU, make sure thats set right

thats also a nice way of doing it 🙏

this seems like a significantly easier approach, one I wasn't aware of when I did it. fun weekend experiment time

This approach seems pretty good. Checking that out👨‍💻
