I had relatively good experience with Mullvad until recently. I'm resident in Turkey using TurkTelekom and had been using it for censorship circumvention. Recently my ISP started to throttle speed when using wireguard protocol; I simply switched to OpenVPN but now it is in same situation either. Normally I'm getting around 250 mbps but with vpn it instantly drops to 1-2 mbps (only download, upload speeds not effected somehow?). Furthermore using wireguard with shadowsocks but without multihop results being cut from internet completely.

My current configuration is Encrypted DNS Proxy + Wireguard + Shadowsocs + Port 443 (others ports gives worse results) + MTU 1400 + Goodbype DPI. This is the best case and I get around 11-12 mbps.

Does anybody has any advice how I can improve more or any workaround to this situation? Like they even blocked port 22; can't ssh to my own servers. Customer support claims bs reasons for it and claiming they can't do anything about blocked ports.

I've been a customer for many years now, and for the past...threeish months or so, I've found the browsing experience to be rather annoying.

Mullvad's servers are blocked on several sites I visit.

Reddit usually requires me to change servers three times before I can connect to something.

More frustratingly, for the past month or so, youtube has seemingly blocked every server. I just sit there reconnecting and it takes about ten tries to find a server that Youtube will accept.

Is this happening with anyone else? And more to the point, is there anything I can do to make connecting to these sites easier?

Hey,

I'm looking for a new VPN, currently using Nord, but after finding out the parent company for Nord controls majority of the well known VPN solutions I've been doing some research into alternatives and have been attracted to suss out Mullvad.

I'm super happy this VPN does not require you to create login credentials to use, but I wanted to reach out to this sub to see how everyones experience using Mullvad has been!

Experiences I'm keen to hear about can be broken down like so;

1. Region locked content via streaming service, how's the latency when connecting to distant servers?

2. P2P via Swiss servers, does Mullvad support this? If so, is establishing a connection fairly simple?

3. How's the GUI? I haven't seen any screenshots of Mullvad, I know it may not be as flash as Nord, but as long as it isn't just a boring settings config with no visual interface I'm interested

4. Have you also switched to Mullvad from Nord? tell me how your experience was!

I wish mullvad would use lightning wallet for payment in BTC. Fees are so damn high and small payments like this make it not worth while.

Hi All

Has anyone noticed how slow the UK Mullvad owned servers have become? This has happened twice this week for me. I get 200-300Mb download and upload. I would normally get 750 to 850Mb, download and upload. I cannot see any of the UK owned servers being offline on their server status page either.

Uninstalled and reinstalled Firefox, and it still doesn't work. Every time I activate Mullvad VPN, I get a Not Active (NS_ERROR_FAILURE) where my provider is Cloudflare. Any idea on how to fix this?

Hi so I watch the office on my phone using Mullvad, but how can I do this on my TV? I can't figure it out. I have Smart TVs and roku's and it seems like they do not have the mullvad app. So what do I do?

The features I use are "quantum resistance, multihop, lockdown mode, obfuscation, DAITA" connects but I don't have access to the internet, I can access the internet when I turn off the DAITA feature. Why is this happening?

Is it just me, or does the systray icon go away after this update? Even turning it off and on again within the w11 settings doesn't restore it (it still shows in the list as "on"). Reinstalling the stable version again has restored it.

Just checking if this is for everyone and a beta quirk or just me issue?

Hello everyone, new to this community as I have just downloaded the VPN. Going to China starting February, and since I was new in all this, what settings / configurations should I have enabled to be able to use the VPN fast and effectively in China?

Thanks in advance everyone!

I currently use:

  1. mullvad vpn but the 5 limit in wireguard keys is limiting me... protonvpn provides 10.
  2. anonaddy basic
  3. bitwarden family basic

adds up to $7 per month but the $10 proton unli will urge me to move to a more private email provider with the ability to use custom domains.

just want to check if anyone else was on the same boat and what did they end up doing.

I want to run Mullvad for my traffic besides a few addresses in the 10.0.0.0/24 subnet. These 10.x addresses are defined in a custom Wireguard vpn.

In this custom Wireguard config I have domains to the servers I'd like to connect to. '1.server.com' points to an ip '1.2.3.4'.

When I am connected to Mullvad and try to start my Wireguard tunnel I get a DNS resolution failure. Even if I connect Wireguard before Mullvad, when Mullvad starts, Wireguard fails. When I have the config with straight IPs, I'm able to create and maintain the connection. Why is this happening?

I have local addresses enabled and I'm able to 'dig' the correct ip when connected to Mullvad. I know that the DNS changes but this shouldn't affect it right?

Hi All,

I used to be able to Remote Access my Plex Media Server (hosted from my PC) from any device that was logged into my Plex Account. It hasn't worked for over a year and I'm not sure why.

I need Mullvad running on my PC for internet browsing and torrents. So far I have tried:

  • Split tunneling Plex and all its services and this does not work.
  • I port forwarded the specified port for Plex in my router device settings. Made sure to restart as well
  • Disabling the VPN, enabling Remote Access, and re-enabling the VPN

What bugs me is that remote access works with Mullvad disabled. So this is definitely on Mullvad's end. I've searched the internet for a few hours and have been unlucky. Has anyone been able to get Plex Remote Access to work while using Mullvad?

Been using Mullvad for months - it's been so good. Yesterday I was using it and suddenly I couldn't load any site. So I clicked on disconnect on the Mullvad vpn app and I could load pages. Click on Connect on the Mullvad app the app connected fine - Win11 says I'm connected to the net but every page doesn't load and times out.

Disconnect on the Mullvad app and the net works reconnect and it stops. Haven't changed anything DNS etc. tried switching off DAITA and Multi hop - just a simple vpn connection but no go.

Going crazy trying to find out why this laptop which was working great on Mullvad now won't load sites using the vpn. My other laptop using Win11 and the same Mullvad id works great.

Tried uninstalling Mullvad and reinstalling latest. Tried different countries. Any ideas please?

my ISP (will not name, is a major US one) i noticed is throttling certain media activities. enabling DAITA completely eliminates the throttling. has anyone else noticed something like this?
