Ask HN: Has anyone actually tried Tailscale's Mullvad exit nodes?

There was a popular post a couple days ago announcing that you can now use Mullvad's VPN servers as your exit node[1]

I was pretty excited to try this out, but after two days of attempting to use these exit nodes i'm giving up and moving back to a traditional VPN provider.

My connection just constantly stalls out, I have to play hot potato over their incredibly long list of available exit nodes just to try and find one that will work for another 5-10 minutes before I lose connection again.

Maybe I'm missing something? I read through their docs and made sure I had setup everything properly, so I'm asking HN to see whether I'm the only one dealing with these issues, or if this is the same experience others have had.

    There seems to be some issues with it. I've had lots of problems as well with "selected but offline" errors, especially if tailscaled is running in usermode.
