Improve UI for Mullvad exit nodes
Mullvad exit nodes when enabled clutter the list of nodes & exit nodes.
I propose a few changes:
- remove Mullvad exit nodes from normal "nodes"
- group Mullvad exit nodes by country and/or city in "exit nodes"
- add search, if possible
For reference the UI used by tailscale web looks like this:
On iOS they have got this UI:
https://github.com/maxgallup/tailscale-status/assets/3314323/37a002b3-97dc-44c2-b8fa-2a34badd9444
Definitely a neat feature for those using Mullvad VPN, I like it! Unfortunately I don't currently use Mullvad which would complicate the implementation of this feature. Perhaps anyone using Mullvad would be interested in doing this?
The Mullvad exit nodes probably also shouldn't be listed under "Send Files".
Perhaps this list of all Mullvad exit nodes helps for the implementation, at least for filtering them out of the "Nodes" & "Send Files" lists:

# To use an exit node, use `tailscale set --exit-node=` followed by the hostname or IP
All the Mullvad exit nodes are under the mullvad.ts.net domain.
tailscale-gnome-qs uses tag:mullvad-exit-node to detect Mullvad exit nodes:
https://github.com/joaophi/tailscale-gnome-qs/blob/a5ce530df7bfbd9067937645f7d47c5ff460b3f1/tailscale%40joaophi.github.com/tailscale.js#L148
It does not currently group them in the UI, however. There are a few open PRs for this: https://github.com/joaophi/tailscale-gnome-qs/pull/18 https://github.com/joaophi/tailscale-gnome-qs/pull/19 https://github.com/joaophi/tailscale-gnome-qs/pull/20
The grouping has to happen based on exitnode.location.Country which to me is now very Mullvad specific. I have the same problem for my Cockpit extension and hold of until this location is more generically available.
Just to throw my two cents into this. It would be nice if individual servers were still available to choose from under the country/city selector, as quite often I find myself targeting specific Mullvad exit nodes when certain nodes are having issues or are temporarily blocked by some website.
There's a couple of open issues on the official Tailscale repo requesting the same thing, allowing exact choice of Mullvad server: https://github.com/tailscale/tailscale/issues/9913
