For an external VPN like mullvad, I run my own proxy. Again it's only available from my VPN or inside my network.
It uses socks5 and gluetun docket containers and in apps that support proxies, I can add my proxy to it and it'll route that traffic through the paid VPN.
Or, a work profile (see shelter) or androids new private spaces. If you have private spaces, it uses a seperate network. So if you have a VPN installed outside the private space, it won't work on apps inside the space. So, what you could do is have a paid VPN inside private spaces, and use it and a web browser or whatever there, and use your server's VPN outside the private space.
Lmk if you want any of my docker composes
This sounds very interesting. I always wondered if I could use a paid VPN together with Tailscale or Netbird. But I'm not sure I understood how you set this up. And what are Android private spaces?
I have gluetun+socks5 containea running, then in an app, I put in
localip:portinto a proxy field. Then that app will use that connection for internet. Browsers on desktop also support proxies. So if you want a specific browser to always use the VPN, this is a very simple way to do that.https://source.android.com/docs/security/features/private-space
Thank you for pushing me into the rabbit hole. But gluetun already has a socks proxy server built in, if I read that correctly on their github.
Oh fascinating. I'll have to look into that
Very interesting. Didn't know this was a possibility. I don't need anything now but thanks for offering, might get back to you
