This seems like a really smart move.

Can anyone comment on whether it's possible to use something like NextDNS in conjunction with Tailscale and Mullvad?

Edit: to clarify, I'm aware of the existing NextDNS integration with Tailscale - I was wondering if this (or other third party DNS) works specifically with these new Mullvad exit nodes...

first result on google for "tailscale nextdns" explains how to - for some reason - leak all your dns queries to some random company you don't pay money to: https://tailscale.com/kb/1218/nextdns/

Err what? NextDNS is not free, you do pay them money every year to use it.

You blow through 300k queries pretty quickly. The vast majority of users are paying nextdns.

Are you talking about the metadata collection by nextdns itself ? It's not some random company and again you can disable it pretty easily. Afaik the metadata is mainly used to classify requests per device and show some stats

Tailscale supports using NextDNS as a nameserver: https://tailscale.com/kb/1218/nextdns/

Did not know that, thanks for mentioning. This fixes probably a big problem for me.
