Mullvad VPN

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.

Quite often the Mullvad VPN Windows app keeps popping up on top of other windows on the right of the screen, above the system tray, when its in the deactivated mode ('red open lock' icon in system tray).

What is triggering this behaviour?

The internet stops working as soon as I switch it on on MacOS. Tried everything

The way you can tell is if it goes straight to "log-in" to your account or "sign-up".

Don't like to log in or have an account for chatgpt, but now it's getting harder.

Usually it does this after a number of entries or time you stay on the page without an account. If your IP is fresh it won't ask for a while. Now it goes straight to log in on all the Chicago servers....

They've logged all the IP addresses or are using one or more third party companies that do this for them.

Ave. Is there any possibility, to install mullvad on a Linux machine that would actually as a VPN exit point? I'm think of something that will automatically connect to MV servers and forward routed traffic for my services hosted at home ;)

I heard that you should never touch any setting on Mullvad browser to have the best privacy. Basically we should use the browser as it is out of the box. But is that valid for the extentions? For example, should I not touch even the Ublock origin's settings or this rule is valid only for the settings of the browser itseld? Thanks for your help.

With Mullvad on, I was downloading a torrent last night. I usually pause and remove the torrent myself once it's done, but I forgot this time. When I opened qBittorrent today with my VPN off, I noticed I was seeding last night's torrent. How did that happen if I've already binded qBittorrent to Mullvad? I'm sure it's done properly because it doesn't download anything when VPN is off, so I assumed seeding would also stop.

Hi hi, I just have a quick question about Mullvad.

I only need a vpn for 1-2 months.

1. Am i understanding correctly that I can just charge my account with 5€ per month, and if i dont charge it there wont be any consequences? I just wont be able to use it? (Or is it a monthly payment for 5€ per month? )

2. assuming that mullvad is based on just charging your account whenever you need a vpn access, i dont have to cancel any subscriptions after 2 months? My account just keeps existing until I delete it?

Kind of unsure

Thank you :)
