Open the Mullvad app settings, then click on Preferences and turn on "Local network sharing".
In some cases you have to use the IP address to connect instead of the hostname.
If the device is on a different subnet (IP address range) then add a static route to that in the operating system.
In Android this will not work if you have enabled "Block connections without VPN" in the Android network settings.
