Update: this helped.

Now the two problems are that Mullvad seems to conflict with Tailscale. Running both causes me to lose internet connectivity (the Mullvad app can be open, just not connected to a VPN).

Also, Mullvad can see my installed software and lists it all in its Split Tunneling page, but can’t start any of it. “Unable to launch selection. Please try again or contact support.” Could this be NixOS/FHS-related?
