Mullvad VPN

The original post: /r/mullvadvpn by /u/GainKnowlegeDaily on 2025-05-04 11:21:03.

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?

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..

Hi

I'm new to Mullvad and I'm very satisfied I would like to know how to contact support for some questions but not by email.

It would be great if they added guides for Linux Mint and the possibility to download the Linux application in Flatpak.

I would like if they added servers in Rome (Italy).

Are there people from Mullvad who write in this subreddit?

Thanks

I've been using mullvad for years and changed computer recently. I downloaded multiple apps without any issue but somehow, I can't download mullvad. I was wondering if anyone else is having the same issue. (using the windows download)

My Mullvad browser shows the red snake screen on top of a YouTube video, providing me three options.

1. Allow the video
2. Allow YouTube
3. Block

Even if I select the option 1 or 2, the video still doesn't play and the red snake screen returns. What is causing the issue and how can I solve this?

Is there a way for me to use mullvad in a way that outside apps see the socks5 proxy ip (and has its trustscore) and after that traffic goes to mullvad and then to me? or can i only use either app->proxy->me or app->mullvad->me?

I know that it's not recommended to change the settings on Mullvad browser if you wanna have more privacy. But is that valid for the settings of Ublock origin as well? I will happily add some filters for example to disable the bothering cookie notices, but would that make my browsing less private?

Hello!

I have some questions for you guys using mullvad, do you get captches? I mean its shared ip i think.

Thank you for answer from people using mullvad.

First thing I tried was updating Mullvad to the current version, but no dice. And then I tried all the following but nothing has worked so far:

• First tried experimenting with various settings in Mullvad itself, like switching from Wireguard to OpenVPN, but nothing changed.
• Checked if I could ping while VPN was on, and I could, so I tried changing to custom DNS (1.1.1.1), no effect
• Uninstalled Mullvad, including .plist files found in ~/Library (i.e. net.mullvad.vpn.plist), hoping that if I reinstalled that it would perhaps ask to grant network permissions or something, but it didn't and connection still doesn't work.
• Checked under System Settings -> Network and System Settings -> Privacy and Security -> Local Network but I didn't see Mullvad as an listed option anywhere for me to add.

I assume the issue has to do with the macbook update and that it's blocking mullvad from properly routing traffic. To be honest too, I have no idea about the nuances of how VPN's work, so I've just been googling like crazy and trying any solutions I find.

Anyone know what might be causing the issue and how I resolve it? And help/guidance is greatly appreciated.

After I connect to mulllvad servers, my phone (like google searches) keep getting suggestions in bagledeshi or Indian. However, I am connected to Sweden or Spain. Why is this the case?

So on my Samsung android phone with the latest Mullvad app, I have turned on the dns content blocking for ads, malware and tracking. I have noticed that ads are still getting through in the Outlook app. Right at the top of my inbox all the time is a big fat add that looks like another email, it's there every time.

If I enable private DNS on the device and set it to use NextDNS (where I think I have just selected the default ad blocking as far as I can remember) then that Outlook ad never appears and I have a nice clean inbox.

However oddly when using NextDNS for the dns, the bbc.co.uk website constantly redirects to bbc.com as it is somehow detecting I am not in the UK, when I just use the mullvad DNS the bbc.co.uk website loads just fine as the UK version. So somehow bbc are using DNS to detect location (didn't even know this was possible but that is obviously what it is doing because my ip in both cases was the same mullvad london server) and it clearly doesn't like NextDNS.

Not sure why mullvad ad blocking doesn't block the outlook ads, it's not like outlook is some niche app that is using some unknown ad provider and its clearly possible to easily block those ads because NextDNS works fine. I'm sure there will be other ads getting through as well if Outlook is, but this is the main one I have noticed so far in my normal use. Mullvad may need to look at their ad block list?

My speeds have dropped by 85%, regardless of the settings I adjust or the location I choose.

Hey all!

Here's my use case: I am making use of Mullvad socks5 proxies in a project that I am running through my terminal. But I also need to access some services on my local network via the browser.

Is there a way to route only my terminal traffic through Mullvad but not my browser?

Is this normal? I only discovered this because I logged into my email and it was flagged as suspicious activity because it thinks I'm in Thailand.

The servers that Mullvad owns and the ones they rent. Do they run solely on RAM like OVPN or do they run off storage sevices like HDD or SSD. I don't think I saw anything like that on Mullvads website but OVPN openly states all their servers run only on RAM. Just curious thats all.
