Aduard, Mullvad and Tailscale

First off, I have all three running (it’s an OCD thing) at the same time with default settings and so far, no observable issues (Slate7). That in and of itself should tell me to leave well enough alone. I get an all green connection check on the Mullvad site, no DNS leaks and no webrtc leaks. I have Adguard Home enabled with whatever settings are the default and ads are being blocked according to the Adguard dashboard. I also have Tailscale enabled with my being able to connect remotely to my Mint 22.2 media server.

If that is all I have to do, then I must say that it all works (OOTB) pretty slick. So what, of the three programs is handling the DNS?

AGH is handling the DNS and may resolve using the Mullvad DNS servers.
Tailscale will exclusively be used for Tailscale domains.

Thanks, I just needed the reassurance that all is clear. Funny thing is that I asked the same question from Copilot and got 12 pages of info before I quit, but it did some nice flow charts. :wink:

You pretty well answered in just 2 sentences, so thank you. I will now sit back and look for more stuff to screw up. See you soon…:grinning_face_with_smiling_eyes:
