Raw Blame History

NordVPN Tailscale Coordination Design

Goal

Stabilize macOS NordVPN connects by explicitly stopping Tailscale before bringing up the NordVPN WireGuard tunnel, then restarting Tailscale after NordVPN disconnects.

Behavior

macOS only
on connect:
- detect whether Tailscale is active
- if active, stop it and record that state
- bring up NordVPN
on disconnect:
- tear down NordVPN
- if the skill stopped Tailscale earlier, start it again
- clear the saved state
on connect failure after stopping Tailscale:
- attempt to start Tailscale again before returning the error

State

persist tailscaleWasActive under ~/.nordvpn-client
only restart Tailscale if the skill actually stopped it

Rollback target if successful

remove the temporary macOS physical-service DNS management patch
restore the simpler NordVPN config path that uses NordVPN DNS directly in the WireGuard config
keep Tailscale suspend/resume as the macOS coexistence solution
