Tailscale has partnered with Mullvad - Blog | Mullvad VPN
mullvad.netFrom the article:
Since Tailscale was founded in 2019, customers have been forced to choose between either Tailscale or Mullvad without the ability for them to co-exist.
Today we announce a partnership with Tailscale that allows you to use both in conjunction through the Tailscale app. This functionality is not available through the Mullvad VPN app. This partnership allows customers of Tailscale to make use of our WireGuard VPN servers as “exit nodes”. This means that whilst connected to Tailscale, you can access your devices across Tailscale’s mesh network, whilst still connecting outbound through Mullvad VPN WireGuard servers in any location.
Announcement also on Tailscale blog.

That’s a good description, yes. The self-hosted aspect is that it makes serving things from home, rather than a VPS, trivial.
For example I replaced Dropbox with an app called Syncthing. Previously to do this I would run Syncthing on a VPS so it was accessible from anywhere, or I would have run it at home but used a VPS with a reverse proxy over OpenVPN back to my house.
With Tailscale running on the Syncthing server at home I have a Tailscale IP address for that, which I use on my laptop to access Syncthing. No need for the VPS (especially important for a high storage requirements app), no complicated VPN setup, reduced attack surface, and the benefit of fast access when I’m at home.
Thanks. That’s pretty much what I was looking for a year ago.
