This has happened with a few sites over the last few days. I had to switch to other nodes like Ashburn, VA in order to access a bunch of news/tech sites.

Hi,

Right now I have split tunnelling enabled for accessing my college account. They do not permit MullVad for logging in. I installed Firefox so that I can do my school work and have a split tunnel with Firefox. I'm trying to do it for Microsoft Outlook, but when I added the Outlook exe file, Outlook is still on Mullvad.

Do any of you know how I can setup a split tunnel with Outlook?

If I use mullvads private DNS with adblock function, in my android, I still get ads in all apps I tried.

If I use another private DNS-provider with same function it blocks ads in those same ads, so it's not the private DNS function in the phone that is broken.

Is it same for everyone or just me?

Is it that the filter isn't updated very often? I see the page regarding the mullvad private DNS was updated just a month ago, so it's not like the service has been created and forgotten.

PS. Youtube app is NOT one of the tested apps. Mentioning since YT always comes up in adblock related threads and is a whole different beast when it comes to adblock on android, and irrelevant in this case. None of the tested apps are a product of google.

edit: Had to edit out the actual DNS addresses to not be auto removed by reddit, but it's the one that starts with adblock and the one that starts with base that I've tried. Both should supposedly block ads.

How do I connect to WireGuard over SSH with Mullvad VPN I know you can do this with OpenVPN and I've been doing that but now that they are removing support for OpenVPN, I still need to be able to connect to Mullvad over an SSH tunnel with WireGuard, does any one know how to do this?

Enable quantum resistance in wireguard config file for wireguard client in router. A simple way, only multihop is a option on the web.

OpenWRT router.

I'm on Ubuntu 25.04. Just came back from a trip and powered on my computer to find networking not working as expected. Wasted half a day trying to figure out wtf is going on. I don't have mullvad start at boot AND there doesn't seem to be advanced settings available in the gui. There ought to be more indication that this functionality exists and is set by default.

In general, would it be better to use Shadowsocks or UDP over TCP? Or which would be faster? And which is more secure? Thanks

Two different (Fedora 42) machines I've had to troubleshoot no internet, both times Mullvad's Lockdown Mode was enabled for some reason. I don't keep vpn on all the time so the application wasn't even loaded. I had to start it up and disable Lockdown Mode to get my internet connection back.

Hey team,

I've been facing a problem for the past few days where I have to solve a captcha verification every time I search for something using the Google search engine.

I know that Google is a nightmare for privacy, but sometimes its search results are more helpful than those from other engines. I've been using Google for a long time, so it feels comfortable for me. Additionally, the location-based search results from Google have been quite useful on multiple occasions.

Is there a solution to this problem? I’m aware that Mullvad has its own search engine, Mullvad Leta, which offers both Google and Brave search options. However, I still think having the actual Google search engine as a backup is a good choice.

Thanks for any help.

im sure someone else probably had this problem but i'm completely lost on what to do, please someone explain it to me like im 9 years old.

the vpn connects perfectly fine when i use openvpn but openvpn kinda sucks so i'd much rather use wireguard. but when i try connecting to wireguard it just sits there spinning forever and i've tried just about everything i found online to fix the issue, does anyone know what the problem could be?

Hi guys,

This has been an issue ever since the beginning. Whenever I disconnect Mullvad VPN, I completely lose my connectivity. This is despite the fact that I have disabled lockdown mode. Even completely quitting the app doesn't work.

I'm using the flatpak client on Nobara. Any help here?

Thanks!

I have tried multiple different ips and it always returns a valid query. my wireshark shows it sending a dns query to the garbage ip address but I get a response back. anyone can explain this? I am running wireguard app on windows 11.

I was successful in getting cloudflare 1.1.1.1 to work, but mullvad dns servers just time out.

I am trying to make a setup where when connected with my laptop to my LAN I have dns for my local devices, but when not on my LAN I also stil have secure dns through mullvad. I want the mullvad tunnel to work both on my LAN and when remote, but have it running on my laptop and not somewhere else on my LAN. I have found no way of doing this. I have found a few other posts on here where people were trying to do the same and nobody got it working. I believe the issue is that mullvad forces itself to be the primary system dns across all interfaces, even when using split tunnel or custom DNS.

Getting "403 error: the request could not be satisfied" whenever I try to access DeviantArt from any Mullvad server. Can connect just fine with VPN off.

Any advice?

it seems I cannot run vpns with the mullvad app and the wireguard app at the same time. when I run both it breaks and I have to reboot my pc. after disconnecting one of the vpns it will hang and then both vpn apps will not connect/disconnect until a reboot. anyone else notice this? even with split tunnel and excluding local addresses it will not work properly.

I tried updating it and blocked my internet so I decided not to update it cuz I’m worried it happens again, is it really important to update it? Like should I try again or it doesn’t really matter?

Greetings, I’m not in tech by all means. This is on my Mac OS

As I understand the installation method is different with this update.

I install it, and open it back up and the vpn stills says “Update Available”

I’ve uninstalled the vpn completely, logged out and logged back on and tried installing about 10 times?!
