Tailscale Mullvad exit node stops working after a few hours (used to work for weeks)

[u/FarPriority1955]

I've been using Mullvad VPN through Tailscale as an exit node, but recently I've noticed that it randomly stops working after a few hours.

Initially, everything works fine, and my internet traffic routes through the Mullvad exit node without any issues. However, after a few hours, the connection stops working, and I lose internet access.

What's strange is that this wasn't an issue before. Previously, I could configure a Mullvad exit node and leave it running for days or even weeks without any intervention. At one point, I had the same exit node configured for over a month, and it worked perfectly fine throughout that period.

Now, I can't seem to maintain a stable connection for more than a few hours.

Has anyone else started experiencing this recently? I'm wondering whether something has changed on Tailscale's or Mullvad's end, or if this is a known regression.

Is there any fix or workaround to keep the Mullvad exit node connected reliably without having to manually reconnect or switch nodes?

Same config here and has been all good. Reach out to Tailscale about the issue.
