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?!

Edit: actually no, but on mullvad.net they are listing 2025.5 as latest version.

Hi,

Sorry, if I'm posting to the wrong Subreddit. Installed Mullvad browser. Got bookmarks imported. All very well, but do I get it correct that Mullvad don't have built in password autofill?

Cheers

Ok so I searched for things online and most of stuff is probably crap boosted by nordVPN partnerships.

After few more research, I found mullvad that look to be one of the best vpn.

From what I understood : a vpn doesn’t change per se the location of a device but only offers an ip adress (most of the time ip shared) that allows users to do certains things (stream, game…)

So I’d need to change the location of my device on another country to a specific area (for my employer to see). I don’t need anything complicated or overkill - hence why i’m asking you what i need to do to :

  • connect to a specific website and hide my current location to display another specific area (my home). Specific area is important - I live close to a big city but I don’t think it will be enough to use this « big-city » server
  • it can last 30 minutes, I dont need it to be forever (meaning that i can do the process several times if needed) - my company needs me to login certain stuff (not files) on a specific website only using login/pw (from what I know)
  • I’m on my personal Mac, it’s not a company mac. Same for iPhone - personal one. Can be done on iPhone aswell since it’s login/pw
  • i don’t mind paying, I already bought some time on mullvad because i think the cause deserves it, if something else is more suited for my concern please let me know

I probably can use mullvad browser + openpvn/wireguard/mullvad vpn (tbh i don’t know the differences nor the settings that would be needed) so here I am

share me your wisdom thanks!

ps : no my employer is not open to discussion

I was running a previous version (not sure which one) and it indicated that it was time to update and it directed me to the mullvad page. I downloaded the installer and tried to run it but it wanted admin user and password. I have admin privileges, but none of the credentials were working. I was stuck in a loop and couldn't even close the installer. I had to kill it in task manager.

From here, the former mullvad client ceased to exist, I had no new client, and my computer's ethernet fully stopped working. It recognized an "unknown public network" from which it couldn't get an IP address. I tried running windows troubleshooting, restarting the ethernet controller, doing a full network reset, rebooting, but nothing. No internet.

I thought maybe there was a registry file somewhere that was preventing connection, so I ran Revo Uninstaller and wiped every trace of Mullvad from the machine, rebooted, still nothing.

My linux dualboot on the same machine still had internet, so I know it had to be an issue somewhere in windows. I finally downloaded the offline installer from another computer and then re-installed mullvad and now I have internet again.

Does anyone know what exactly went wrong, or how to fix it without having to re-install the vpn?

I got mullvad vpn not long ago, with my interest being in regards to privately accessing the internet while avoiding advertising/fingerprinting tactics. I realized though, that using the VPN on a browser with accounts closely linked to my identity probably would negate the purpose of this.

My thought now is to use my default browser for those sites that need a log-in, etc. with split tunnelling, and for all other uses going through the VPN and Mullvad's dedicated browser.

Does anyone have any feedback or advice as far as using these tools for privacy and anonymity? How does my plan sound?

Thanks

Yesterday I updated my client to the latest version and after that I can't use anymore wireguard. It only works with openvpn. Is anyone facing the same issue?

Updated Mullvad to 2025.6 today and all was well until I had to turn my computer on and off for unrelated reasons. Now Mullvad refuses to even TRY to connect to ANY server. It displays the error message:

Blocking Internet No servers match your settings, try changing server or other settings. The apps excluded with split tunneling might not work properly right now.

I have never gotten this error. The only setting I changed today was turning back on split tunneling and adding an application. It still doesn’t connect with split tunneling off. Why is this happening? Please help.

I'm seeing a strange install app that I didn't see on previous updates. Is this legit????

Apologizes in advance if this has already been discussed, but I'm wondering why Mullvad is sunsetting OpenVPN. Is it because Wireguard is better?

Just for those considering using Mullvad, for the second time in as months the Kill Switch failed (ie. Mullvad was trying to reconnect an the internet was still downloading without any latency for approximately 60-seconds).

Whilst Mullvad has a good reputation about their privacy policies, I am searching for other more reliable options.

Had anyone else encountered this issue and if so, what VPN do you now use in place of Mullvad?

I’m encountering persistent connectivity issues with my WireGuard VPN configuration using Mullvad. Despite Lockdown Mode being enabled and Mullvad's DNS servers explicitly configured, I'm experiencing:

  • Random session termination (both UDP and TCP/443 modes)

  • Intermittent DNS leaks during security testing

  • Inconsistent performance across different networks

Current environment:

  • Kali Linux (bare metal)

  • Mullvad WireGuard (no OpenVPN tested due to penetration testing latency requirements)

  • Standard ISP hardware

For those running WireGuard in high-throughput security testing scenarios, what configuration optimisations and obfuscation techniques have proven effective at preventing drops/DNS leaks while maintaining low latency – particularly when protocol fingerprinting is suspected?

essentially samsung admiited to passwords copied to clip board are in plain text. does that mean even our account numbers could have been vulnarable? since we mostly copy paste if we need to log in??

So hard to find other servers that worked as well as them. Time to start cycling and looking for a new server that worked as well as 204..
