I do this more or less, while the VPS itself doesn’t route over a VPN I have traffic forwarded between Tailscale and a commercial VPN.

It’s actually much more complicated and involved than that involving four double hop VPN tunnels, two that stay 100% in my country then two that bounce around other countries routed over the first two. This way my traffic exits the country without it appearing that way.

This seems like the way forward for me.

Just so I understand properly. I set up one of my home machines as an exit node and all my traffic from my android goes through that home machine?

How do I connect my VPN to tailscale on the home machine? Its not mulvad unfortunately

that exit node will essentially need to work as a router, connected to both the tailnet and whatever other VPN peer you are working with. you could also use something like a gluetun container as I think it works with a wide variety of popular VPN providers.

Yep. I had it set up in a docker compose setup with tailscale and gluetun. There is actually decent documentation for this on gluetun docs i think.

Then your tailscale container exists via gluetun which connects to your VPN.

Edit: Found these

I'd say you install the VPN on the home machine, then when you turn on tailscale on your phone, the traffic should be Phone->home machine (exit node)->VPN
