As a relative noob, if I deactivate Mullvad on my node, then switch to Tails, is that really masking my true IP address for bitcoin's clearnet peers, or is it just a 'tunnel' for remote access and the rest of the traffic is then exposed?

Talk to me like I'm 5 lol

I have not yet tested this yet, but I believe its a tunnel, that utilizes your whole device network; so everything goes through tail scale

When I turn my mullvad off, but tailscale is on, everything defaults to the UK

Ironically even when tailscale is off, all my networking on device still routes through the UK

Mine would do that too. I'm UK based lmao.

I could change my bitcoin.conf file to have onlynet=onion in it, so it goes over Tor only, but I like having both.

I'm sure it will all come out in the wash eventually. I'm just a bit of a laggard perhaps.
