Nostr Web Client

I did my own self build node, and use Mullvad for clearnet access to peers. ( Very basic. bitcoin core, Tor, VPN and mempool. )

I tried Tailscale for remote access but it won't work unless I turn off my Mullvad.

Question: Is Tailscale a general VPN that would mask my IP for all traffic like Mullvad, or is it just for remote access?

I'm on the noob end of the spectrum.

How do you use Mullvad as a clearnet access?

Please Login to reply.

Downloaded it onto my Ubuntu OS, and ran it.

Also need to open port on router, and hash out the onlynet=onion in the bitcoin.conf file.

Got it

You use the ip address it assigns to you as a clearnet access?

I'm using the term clearnet to just mean traffic goes over internet without Tor.

If we are on the same page there, I don;t assign an IP in Mullvad. It allocates you one when you run it.

( That's different to Tailscale, which asks you to register on their webpage, and that allocates you an IP to access your node remotely. )

Yes we’re on the same page. I guess my question was more: do you use the address mullvad assigns you to access your start9 over the internet

Surveillance is the clearnet's access. Mullvad hides you.
