Description

It would be great be able to use the browser extension to connect to other machines in the tailnet, while the system is connected to a VPN.
This would be especially useful in the case of mobiles, where we can only have one VPN at a time.

Research direction

The issue describes using the browser extension to reach other tailnet machines while another system VPN is active, especially on mobile. No files, tests, or entry points are named, so first map how the extension establishes connections and how VPN conflicts are handled. Done means the extension works with an active system VPN without disrupting either connection.
