I have MullvadVPN set to US and when I try change the region within TikTok settings it says:

Hello, currently, I use daita to get around a certain ISP throttling video playback and it works pretty well for me, I use multi hop to connect to a server unsupported by daita, using daita. There’s one issue though. By default, it will route me through 1 of 2 different servers (We’ll call them 101 and 102, not actually what they’re called.) I’ve noticed that when connected to 102, everything is much slower, and I often randomly disconnect. 101 is very fast and I notice no issues. There’s literally no way to change it to only go through 101, it’s completely random, so I’ll have to disconnect and reconnect until it goes to 101. Also, sometimes when i’m on 101, it will randomly revert to 102! This is ridiculous and we the people should be able to choose!

I am I missing something whenever I want to watch YouTube with newpipe and I want to use a VPN the only ones that seem to work with the app is us based servers anytime I try to use one from the EU or elsewhere I get an error in the app. Similar issues happen with Reddit where when I use a vpn why posts are being shadowbanned or removed. Before you ask NO, I am not breaking any subreddit rules with those posts that get removed or shadowbanned they are innocuous question posts.

I thought they still had port forwarding. So I went ahead and paid for 2 months, only to find out that feature has been long removed :/ Support said no refund, since I paid with crypto. Can I somehow trade the account or am I cooked?

Is Mv still #1 VPN? Any arguments for why another VPN may be better in 2025?

I don't know why. Steam stays connected through it for seemingly no reason, but every other app, even kde ones like discovery, lose their connection and i'm forced to mullvad reconnect. How do I troubleshoot this? Ping also works when this is happening like nothing's wrong at all

It's ok on desktop I can access anything but on mobile it's like the VPN has no effect, it's still blocking the same subreddits on that account, I tried reinstalling and deleting the app data and I have DAITA and multihop on but still blocked. And I don't think the account has been flagged as then it wouldn't work on desktop. Get me out of this sh*thole country omg.

So obviously regarding the new laws that have been implemented throughout most of Europe I have decided to give in and get Mullvad since I am just not having it with these new restrictions, so far everything is working incredibly smoothly and as promised but I have come across the issue that even though my location is not set anywhere near the EU or UK I still see these censors regardless. I learned that the bypass where you change your country in the settings had been patched this morning but I thought I would not be affected anyways. I haven't really seen anyone else talk about this and wanted to know if anyone else was coming across this and how to possibly fix it?

Edit: I see this is a frequent question popping up, I hope something can be done about it in the future, its a shame because its the only downside to this vpn.

Ive been using mullvad for a month, its a great vpn and happy to stick with it.

But I've noticed that (at least on the servers I use) I need to verify that im not a bot more frequently.

Also some server firewalls may even block mullvad al together. Very minor ones though, I don't remember what sites.

hi guys, I have been researching and Mullvad looks awesome

I just have a couple questions - i cannot buy the prepaid amazon card from the country I live in but I'm wondering

  • If I pay with Credit Card will someone be able to know my credit card if they somehow guess my Account number?
  • What if someone somehow steals my account # by hacking my PC or in SOME way, can they just login and see whatever credit card # I have in there?
  • I'm doing nothing illegal, but , if police raid Mullvad, will they know I am a customer by getting all the account #s?
    • (I assume even if they know I'm a customer my internet activity isn't known)
  • If I'm not doing anything illegal, is there any reason to own a VPN?
    • I never use public wifi, I always use HOME internet or Tether to my cell phone

Thanks guys

Pretty much the title. I'm on Arch + using Firefox. Without Mullvad, captive portals shows up just fine but with it they don't show up so you can't connect to the network. You can just disconnect for a moment and connect back and it works fine this way but it's a little hassle to do when I'm connecting to it. Is there a solution for this? Thanks.

Ive tried different locations, different browsers (kiwi, chrome, firefox, brave) but x always seems to pick up my actual location (changed location in X also). Ive denied them access to my location. I did the mullvlad diagnostic and it says all good there. Ive also never used brave so its not picking up cookies

Any advice?

Edit: figured it out. Turns out there are 2 settings for location, one public and one in profile settings. Updating both and it now works

Obligatory asking for a friend, how do you use mullvad to get around it? I cant seem to figure it out, despite reading online that vpns just kind of get around things like this by nature of how they work. Is there some obvious settings im missing or something? Gps is turned off on my phone.

My download and upload are both 500Mbps.

I am based in the UK and no matter which server I connect to, the max I can get is 350 download and upload. I have even tried servers in neighbouring countries such as Ireland, Belgium, France, Netherlands and Norway but they are no better.

DAITA and MULTIHOP are both turned off. I use Wireguard and have tried different ports but that didn't help either.

So to check, I pay for Mullvad and make my account, then I download the iPad app, sign in and then it just works?

Other than maybe adjusting some settings, is that it? I can use stuff like the Reddit app or Safari or whatever and my internet traffic is routed through the VPN?

Nothing else to do, just let it run in the background?

My mullvad doesn't work on the new versions, last time I downloaded 2021.6 and when it stopped working I switched to 2024.3, It stopped working too for some reason and the 2021.6 didn't work so I downgraded myself to 2021.3. How do I fix this? I tried to restart my computer and tried 10 other versions.

If you need throughput from your mullvad connection, say to download linux ISOs, you may need to know which server provides the fastest connection. Here's a script that tests multiple servers and gives you info on which one is fastest - all you have to do is download the zip file of all the servers on the Mullvad webpage!
