So it’s $5 for 5 devices? I was expecting to see an option for existing mullvad customers to enter their credentials instead of buying a new subscription but may not be the same thing
As someone that already has a subscription to a VPN service (not mullvad), I’m wondering what this would get me for end devices, vs just using my vpn provider as I’m already doing
Oohh, this is exactly why you can't. I just commented similarly, but yours made me realise - this must be an agreement between the companies, Mullvad doesn't want you to fairly easily have all devices on the same tailnet, single exit node using 1/5 keys on Mullvad. Without Tailscale, if you configured them all separately, it'd use as many keys as you had devices.
You can similarly bypass it without Tailscale, the same way you had to do it in Tailscale before this announcement, with everything egressing via a server which is the single Mullvad client. But it makes sense with the built-in solution (with probably better latency etc.) that they wouldn't want that.
Yep, disappointing that I can't bring my Mullvad credentials over and have to pay for a new account.
