Awareness using ads is nothing bad. Rather it's oldest form of approach to introduce something new. Talking about printing ads here. They cost a lot per board. I have seen them across various states and here on Reddit too. But what about people living in Africa? Asia? Don't they need such care too? Why only target the developed west world here? This cost should be rather spend towards helping the people who don't even know the basics of computing.

Anyone else experiencing lots of drop outs over the last few weeks? Tried many UK sites, all seem to drop out. Latest was gb-lon-wg-201.relays.mullvad.net

Just trying to see what everyone's experience is with their support? I've been going on circles with them, I'm starting to believe they are unable to actually write their own sentences and everything is copied and pasted from a text file. Anyway both Eric and Stefan have been a waste of time.

My problem: local network sharing doesn't always work, specifically on fedora. With local networking enabled, I still can't access the machine from my local network or connect to anything. Randomly flipping the setting on and off will sometimes resolve the issue but not always. As soon as I "disconnect" from the VPN, everything works as intended. According to Stefan this is an indication it's nothing to do with the mullvad app .. really?

On Ubuntu I don't have this issue but I also don't really run a ton of Ubuntu machines.

Is anyone aware of any logs or areas I can start debugging? If I didn't have connectivity with the app off, yes I would agree it's my problem. But with the settings enabled and everything still not working.... Points to a shitty app

When we select to connect via country only, does the app automatically choose the best server for our connection and location or is it just a random selection?

[apparently resolved]

[Windows, Desktop App, 2025.5/2025.6]

After getting scared by the warning and downgrading my perfectly working 2025.6 to 2025.5, I can no longer ping my router even though I am in the same network. Uninstalling the desktop app fails, but restores internet connection. Is there anywhere a tutorial on how to manually perform a clean uninstall?

Edit: Seems like it wrecked more havoc than I previously thought, after the failed install random apps keep on crashing and even steam does not start anymore due to unexpected network errors. And this is with the app "uninstalled"

Edit2: I can no longer connect to localhost?!?!

Edit3: After manually deleting mullvad-wireguard.inft it seems to be working again

And yeah nothing works, I tried

  • restarting the pc
  • running the uninstaller for the 20th time
  • running the installer 21 times
  • restarting the router (useless, other devices work perfectly)
  • ipconfig /release /renew /flushdns etc
  • route -f
  • netsh winsock reset
  • nesth int ip reset
  • letting dhcp assign ip (apparently the lease works...?)
  • manually assigning ip, gateway, etc
  • searching device manager for anything hidden and mullvad related
  • reading through the wiki (yeah I did restart my pc thank you very much)

I'm on 2025.6. Mullvad website shows 2025.5 as the latest. Installer also seems missing. Did something change?

Been using them for years with no problems but lately the experience has been terrible.

I get like 1 mbps when using mullvad and the connection is terrible, i used multiple countries with same results. It seems like something changed in the past month or so?

Hello! I want to use a VPN on CasaOS, and need some help with how this works.

  • How to install it in an easy way so it only uses the Bittorrent instance
  • What are the speeds (250~ mb/s and I'm happy)
  • How to set it up so it does not connect to the internet if the VPN is not connecting at any moment

I'm open to tips and tricks.

Hey community.

I was using Mullvad for a long time with following config:

[Interface]

Device: Hey
===========

PrivateKey = 123somethin=
Address = 10.74.19.206/32,fc00:bbbb:bbbb:bb01::b:13cd/128

DNS = 10.64.0.1
===============

[Peer]
PublicKey = 123aNsomethin=
AllowedIPs = 10.124.0.1/22
Endpoint = 185.204.1.203:51820

Set a mullvad proxy in browser or don't set it, you are good to go.

Now if I don't use mv proxy in browser it doesn't want to connect to internet. What is going on?

Mullvad just says that there's network issues when I clearly have a working connection, I don't have this issue on my PC with Mullvad

So, Youtube, Google, and other websites think I am in Russia when setting my location to Finland server 002. Why is that?

Every now and again my vpn just stops working and doesn’t connect at all to my WiFi . For example now I’m in Switzerland on the vpn but no matter which country I change it to it doesn’t connect and just gets stuck on “connecting” . I also tried my mobile data to see if my internet wasn’t working but even with that it won’t connect. Is there any fix for this?

Will this VPN work with those streaming services? What about socks5 ... can I generate a password and login to use it on softwares like uTorrent ? Ta

I was playing a Discord game and it showed a country flag beside your name based on your location. I'm connected to Spain but it displayed where I actually am. Im using Mullvad with DAITA and Multihop. DNS leak test showed Spain, so why did Discord show something else? How do I fix this?

I have two iPhones connected to Wi-Fi on my new Fritz!Box. I just went out to eat and when I came back, both devices connected to the internet, but as soon as I try to activate MV, it says "blocked connection."

I already restarted the modem, logged in and out, restarted the iPhones — Wi-Fi is working, and the diagnostics show no issues with the Wi-Fi. So it must be related to MV.

MV works fine on my MacBook using a LAN connection.

Does anyone know if Mullvad uses any virtual locations on its servers? I recently purchased a subscription and am very happy using this provider on Android. I would be satisfied if a permanent widget, similar to Windscribe's, showed connection status and upload/download traffic data in real time on the notification panel, and if a mock location option were added to the developer settings. I have an active Windscribe subscription (expiring at the end of 2027) and a two-year NYM VPN subscription, but the latter is currently unstable. I am looking to use Mullvad daily; its Android application has many good features—practically everything I look for in a VPN provider. Also, what are people's thoughts on decentralized VPNs like Deeper Network and NYM compared to centralized VPNs?
