Gl-mt3000 cannot reach internet when custom exit node is enabled

redax · May 26, 2025, 9:00am

When I enable custom exit node and set it to any exit node available, internet stop working completely

I have subnet routes configured.
I have next DNS settings

Hi,

Please check these on the client (Windows, CMD):

curl https://ip.gs
curl https://www.gl-inet.cn

curl https://ip.me
curl https://www.gl-inet.com

Please SSH to the router, disable the exit node and check these:

ip route
ifconfig
tailscale status
ping <exit node IP>

enable the exit node, and check:

ping 8.8.8.8
ping www.google.com

I have not reproduced this issue, Tailscale on the test MT6000 (enable exit node) and MT3000 (hosted exit node), and the client Internet works ok:

I can confirm that MT3000 works well when connected to MT6000 as exit node.
It doesn't work when tailscale has Mulvad plugin enabled. Mulvad exit nodes are not working when selected as custom exit node

Hello,

What is the Mulvad plugin?

If say it is the VPN client using Mullvad, it may conflict with the Tailscale custom exit node.

Mullvad plugin is Taiscale specific plugin that enables Mullvad VPN exit nodes. Unfortunately they are not supported and not working correctly when being used in Glinet routers.

Hello,

We haven't tested this tailscale feature yet.

BTW, how to enable plugin "Mullvad VPN" in tailscale center?

redax · June 30, 2025, 10:40am

Go to Settings

and enable Mullvad VPN

It seems that Tailscale's Mullvad does not support linking the subscribed Mullvad account, but purchases them separately.

If we have the opportunity to get this function later, we will do a test again.

Any update on this? I just made a new post about it. Can we use the vpn policies and run them thru this mullvad exit node feature?

bruce · September 4, 2025, 9:48am

There is no issue with the Tailscale exit node using Mullvad VPN node/server.

However, Tailscale does not support configuring VPN policies so it cannot use VPN policies.

If future Tailscale support this feature, we will submit it to the R&D for review and implement in firmware.
