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?

TS works better for me than ZT. I started with ZT first, and had random access issues between my android phone, my VPS, and all my local devices.

The local devices could all ping each other's Zerotier IP addresses, but the vps and phone had issues pinging them, but not each other.

Meanwhile, tailscale is working fine, and I've even set up subnet routing so I only need it on my phone, my VPS, and my OpnSense system.

With Zerotier, I couldn't get routing to work at all.

Yeah, one or the other works well depending on how your network is deployed. Example: Tailscale gets whacky when dNAT issues are present, but ZT blasts through.

Sounds like OP is having the opposite issue as you.
