 So trialing the  @Tailscale  @Mullvad VPN integration.

As far as I can tell, Tailscale doesn't allow you to use your existing Mullvard credentials, but instead creates new ones which you have to pay a new fee for.

More than that, Tailscale KYC's your Email, Name & Postal address in order to purchase Mullvard.

 It is why I won't use Tailscale. I use Lightning Terminal so Zeus can access my node other than over TOR. I use #IVPN because it is the best.

 Agreed VPN is better than Tor to access a node.

I do use Tailscale, simply because it comes with  @umbrel and it's easy to use.

I also use it as an exit node when I'm abroad or on public Wifi to connect back to the UK for region specific browsing.

I was hoping Mullvard would give me general VPN services built into Tailscale, not sure whether it's worth it tho.

I'm going to complete the signup to trial. I don't need anonymity as I choose to be myself online, but this doesn't work for most people who wish to remain anonymous when browsing.

 There is no crypto payment option for this, only bank, so I am abandoning signup.

Come on guys, nearly 90% of the use case for  @Mullvad VPN is removed from this service.
