Hello, I'm using Mullvad browser and it works very well. But I have a problem everytime there's an update. Whenever I try to update the browser Mullvad browser gets detected as virus by my antivirus. Am I the only one who have this problem? Is it safe?

Hello,

I set up my mullvad VPN via WireGuard on my FritzBox (set to Netherland, Amsterdam nl-ams-wg-001 server). All devices connected to the internet via my FritzBox (smartphones) are now connected via VPN. Just my pc that is connected to the router via an ethernet cable wont connect. On the website it shows this when I try to check my connection.

Do you know what might be the problem? I feel like it is realet to my router that allows ipv4 and ipv6.

When I try to add credits to my account using the Android app it defaults to one of my Google accounts for the payment methods. however, I want to switch accounts to be able to use my Google play credits on one of my accounts, but I can't find a way to switch my account in the app.

I'm using Mullvad on my android and noticed that it's using Spanish when showing me its status in my notifications bar. My wife's android is having the same issue, but in Chinese.. Our VPNs are not set to any Spanish/Chinese speaking countries. Opening the app itself, things are in English as they should be. Anyone else having this problem? We're on 2025.2-beta2

Hi everyone, I was wondering if there are any alternatives to the Mullvad Browser on Android. Any names you could throw my way? Thx :)

Device: Xiaomi Pad 6

OS: Harmony 2 ( based on Android 14)

Hey guys,

i want to explain how u could verify ur Downloads from Mullvad with an Android Device.

1. Download necessary Apps form an Source like F-Droid/Github/Playstore:

• Termux ( small linux like emulator)
• X-plore File Manager ( u could try to use another File Explorer but on my System only these seems to work)

1.2 Start the Termux App:

• 1.2.3 Install necessary Packages:

Write the following in the command line and see if u have all recommended packages may it still installed with the latest version.

pkg install wget then hit enter

pkg install gnupg then hit enter

1.2.4. Download the Mullvad singing key.

wget https://mullvad.net/media/mullvad-code-signing.asc

1.2.5 Import the signing key:

gpg --import mullvad-code-signing.asc

1.2.6 Verify that the key is added.

gpg --fingerprint admin@mullvad.net

1.2.7 Sign the key:

• Create an Key:

gpg --gen-key

Enter your "Real name" (use a fake name if you want to be anonymous) and an "Email address" and enter "O". Then enter a password and click on OK.

1.28 Sign the Mullvad Key:

gpg --sign-key admin@mullvad.net

Then u see a message. Type "y" and hit enter

1.3 Download and Verify the Mullvad App:

wget --trust-server-names https://mullvad.net/download/app/apk/latest
wget --trust-server-names https://mullvad.net/download/app/apk/latest/signature

1.4 Verify the AppFile.

gpg --verify MullvadVPN-*.apk.asc

Then it will come an Message like this:

gpg: assuming signed data in 'MullvadVPN-2025.1.apk'
gpg: Signature made 2025-03-20 19:28:33 +0100 CET
gpg:                using RSA key CA83A46153BC58D69518ED49A26581F219C8314C
gpg: Good signature from "Mullvad (code signing) <admin@mullvad.net>" [full]

2. Start the xplore Manager.

• 2.1 Navigate to the Termux folder

On the Left, Switch to the Folder internal Storage and navigate per tapping to the the Android/Data/com.termux Folder

Now u got a message that ure not able to access it. Tap on Continue.

Note: on my Android System im wasnt able to permit access for the xplore manager, so i had to use the the Standard File Manager which is rising up after Tapping Continue.

• 2.2 Install the verified APK
• Now u can install the APK Mullvad File from this Location.
• May u got an Window that u have to tap on for installing it from this location check that i understand the risks, wait 10 sec and just press OK
• After the installation u can if u want remove the permission. Go into ur Android Settings -> Search for sth like. " Install unkown apps". Search for the File Manager and remove the permission

I hope u could help someone to be sure that his downloaded Mullvad apk is safe for installing it.

Best regards

I have a question about public Mullvad DNS, not really a VPN issue but hopefully someone can double check if this is correct.

I am trying to reach the site dnsleaktest.com after I have set up (adblocking) Mullvad dns on my router, but this site is now unreachable. If I turn off WiFi on my phone the site works. Can you reach this site?

(I am using base.dns.mullvad.net servers)

I've been having issues connecting to a server with the windows app for the past hour. No matter which server I choose it won't connect and is stuck on blocking my connection. I've logged out and logged back in and now it's not even attempting to connect, does one or two cycles and cancels the attempt. Is anyone else experiencing this?

This add-on is fake and should be avoided.

Ever since the new Windows update today, it takes me around 15 minutes of jumping from server to server to finally connect with Mullvad. Before it would usually connect on the first (sometimes 2nd) attempt. Does anyone know what's causing it? I've tried reinstalling but doesn't help the situation.

Been using Mullvad for months now on my laptop and iPhone. For some reason it’s been just cycling and blocking my connection for the past hour now. I have 15 days left on the account.

Trying to test out mullvad and got the account number but for some reason cutting/pasting the number kept adding extra numbers. Couldnt even add it manually. This is on a Mac. I realized I had Nord still on so I turned it off... Then it worked. Weird.

Hi! I recently started using MullvadBrowser. The timezone is set to UTH by default. I know changing it could make tracking easier. But I need to have the local time to see the time I receive emails. I have read that if I go to about:config I can change the privacy.resistfingerprinting line. I did that and set it to false. But the time was always the same. I may need some help to set the local time to NY area? Any suggestions on how to do it? Thank you!!!!

Update: I thought I should try this without using Tor to connect to Mullvad.net. When I connect directly, it works just fine. The credit card option is enabled. Now what? I'd like to have an anonymous IP when creating an account and paying.

I'd like to pay for Mullvad with a gift debit card purchased with cash, but on the Mullvad website, the option to pay is Temporarily Unavailable (see photo below).

Could this be because I'm using Tor to connect and pay for Mullvad?

Could this be because I'm in a non-Western country?

Any help would be great. My old VPN has expired and I'm a bit stuck.

Thank you.

Mullvad was working just fine all week until yesterday, where it just keeps trying to connect (no matter the country selected) and it ends up failing. I have tried:

• Reinstalling
• Restarting the PC
• Force quitting with Task Manager and reopening
• Switching IPv6 on and off
• Switching back and forth between Wireguard and OpenVPN

yet none of them seem to work. I have had this happen before on and off but it usually fixes itself, but now in this case it isn't. I do have VMWare installed for virtual machine usage, but the VPN would work fine before with it installed. For clarification, I am from the US. Same thing happens when I try to connect to EU servers.

Edit: I just installed Mullvad on my laptop and it connected just fine without any issue. I don't know why I am now only having issues on my desktop, or whats causing it.

I don't want to be in ireland, I don't want to be in germany or the UK. I want to mullvad in my own country. An EU country. I'd prefer not to connect to a site looking like a non-EU citizen. Make it a setting if possible. Thank you.

Some VPN services offers tools which blocks ads like proton VPN has, called Net Shield. Does mullvad has something similar or not?

Hello,

So I have an Asus router on which I have installed Merlin FW. I have also enabled IPv6 to bypass CGNAT. The problem I am facing is that when I check my IP, my v4 address shows as that of the Mullvad server, however my v6 address is the one which my ISP has assigned to my router.

So points to note:

1. ISP has assigned my an IPv6 from /56 subnet.

2. I am using it in Native mode over PPPoE

3. DHCP-PD is enabled and connected devices are assigned IPv6 addresses which can form connections over WAN.

4. Allowed IPs for the client config are: 0.0.0.0/0, ::0/0

5. Leaked IPv6 address is that of the router, not of the device being routed through the VPN tunnel.

Does anyone know where I am going wrong or how to fix this? Thanks.

If I buy VPN from mullvad, will I get a unique IP address for New York or will everyone who has mullvad set to New York have the same IP address?
