Two VPNs? (lemmy.zip)

Am a bit new to all this so apologies if terminology etc isn't correct.

I have my server with apps in docker containers. I have gluetun set-up and working, serving an internet connection to the rest of the containers.

I'm thinking about going down the Tailscale route so that I can use the apps when I'm away from home - haven't needed to so far but its nice to have the option.

For that to work I think I'll need two VPN connections - one to extend the LAN away from the house, the other to provide internet access.

If so, how the hell do I go about setting that up? Can I do this with Gluetun or do I need something else?

Any wise words or links to set-up guides would be much appreciated.

I used to do this (before my server died). You can for example use this to bypass Proton's free tier one user per account limit.

Basically it's about correctly setting the wireguard's AllowedIPs and DisallowedIPs. Your laptop wants to send everything through wireguard. Your home server wants to send everything through Proton (or Mullvad or aVPN) except the communication with your laptop.

(I did that by marking the packets from one VPN with fwmark and sending marked packets to the other but that is a dumb solution for such a simple problem.)
