First: I've tried Tailscale, for some reason it works awful for me so I'm avoiding that option if possible.

I am trying to have a single server that has a VPN port exposed to connect to it, but routes traffic through a comercial VPN (mullvad ideally) to privately share my linux ISOs. So far I haven't been able to achieve this, it sees I can't use the VPN server (wg-easy) + VPN (mullvad gui), only the one that start first work.

Has anybody achieve something like this?

Two cases.

One to have my server connect to the internet without exposing my traffic.

The second is to not have to chose between be connected to my server or be connected behind a VPN.

Honestly, if if wasn't because tailscale is performing badly for the last few months, I wouldn't have problems using and even paying for it.

Tailscale can actually use a Mullvad exit point. I don't know if you knew that ..

Yes, but it's working awful for me. Even without exit point lose connection for a long time, and there's a error on the app. I need to restart the connection for it to work again.

Even when it works it's much slower to connect to my server than VPN.
