I use Tailscale to acces my NAS on the go as well as a variety of other things. However, I also like to use a VPN, especially on public WiFi. What I'm wondering is, does using them both at the same time negate the benefits of the VPN? I know that Tailscale in a way is technically a VPN. On mobile, you can't even run both Tailscale and ProtonVPN/Mullvad VPN at the same time. But on a laptop, you can for some reason, and both seem to work.

Checking my IP address shows me in the VPN's location AND the Tailnet is still accessible. But is it certainly still encrypting my information?

I've already read Atomic Habits, Deep Work, Dopamine Nation, and Anxious Generation. I also come to this subreddit maybe once a week or so and browse through the posts to help maintain my motivation. But I was curious, what other sources are out there that are encouraging for productivity? Books, YouTube channels, etc. I want to keep finding ways to supercharge my life.
