mullvad_allow_ssh

ssh into your remote linux server while running mullvad VPN

The problem: I had an ssh connection open to my remote linux server. I activated the mullvad VPN with mullvad connect — and, naturally, my ssh connection dropped.

The solution: this script, which builds ip route and nft rules to allow ssh traffic from a single specified "Home" IP address.

Usage: ./exclude_home_ip.sh HOME_IP> Example: ./exclude_home_ip.sh 45.46.112.140

1. Finds your default gateway on eth0.
2. Adds a /32 route for your HOME_IP
3. Installs nftables rules to mark and route traffic to/from HOME_IP from Mullvad
4. Adds a route for your home IP outside the VPN
5. Installs the excludeTraffic rules

Run this before mullvad connect

Does not persist: run after reboot or if your HOME_IP changes.
