VPN blocking VPN connections

Slightly confusing, and not necessarily directly piracy-related. I run OpenVPN on my Netgear router that allows me to connect to devices on my home network while I am away from home. It works great for most devices, but I cannot connect to any devices that are running Mullvad VPN. Disabling Mullvad on those devices allows me to connect. Also, if I SSH into a device that does not run Mullvad, I can use that SSH session to then communicate with those Mullvad devices. Any ideas?

You need to enable local network sharing on the Mullvad devices.
- I definitely have that enabled. Like I said, I can connect to it from a different device on the network, just not from a device "pretending" to be on the network via OpenVPN.
  
  The tool tip gives the IP ranges that it opens up, can you make your OpenVPN network live in one of those ranges and try?
Did you enable "Local network sharing" in the Mullvad app? It's possible that Mullvad is blocking all outside traffic.
