Mullvad VPN

A few months back, I sent in my renewal payment for Mullvad, which I do once a year. I sent in cash Euros, exactly as directed by the cash payment directions. Today, I got a two-day notice that my account is about to expire and that I need to add funds. First, I am bitter that my ~50 or 60 euro payment got lost/mishandled and wasn't applied to my account. That is a hefty chunk of change. Then again, I guess that is the risk of totally anonymous cash payments through the mail. Second, I am annoyed that Mullvad only gave me a pop-up warning two days beforehand. Now, I am forced to use a credit card out of desperation. I read over their policies, and it would seem that the info that could personally identify my payment is deleted after 40 days. I may pay for a few years upfront, just to minimize my traceable footprint.

My subscription recently ran out and I registered with another VPN company based in Singapore at a lower cost. My main Reddit account which I've used successfully with Mullvad for the last year was permanently banned within a week for suspicious activity. It says I can reenable my account if I verify my email but confirmation emails never arrive at my inbox. Just FYI: if Mullvad is working stick with it!

On macOS it usually takes 5 seconds to connect and stays connected forever. On iOS it takes 2 minutes to get a connection that lasts for 10 seconds. Any idea what's happening? (physical location is China)

I have a new account and since I'm using Mullvad reddit keeps suspending my account. I've narrowed it down to this being the reason. If I post more than one or two comments a day I'll get suspended cause reddit will flag me as a spammer. As soon as I comment and it doesn't go through I know I've been suspended. I've tried reddit help, but they don't even answer and I'm pretty sure it's all bots anyway.

I don't know what the heck to do and I'm not giving reddit my IP address, I just don't do that. This is my second post on this, yesterday my post got deleted and that account has already been suspended after two or three comments on reddit. I haven't been able to keep an account yet.

Totally lost on this.

Note: I'd like to reply, but I can't cause reddit will suspend me if I post/comment more than once a day.

This is a brand new account. I haven't been able to get past four or five comments. I've tested this and this is true. They system will flag me, If I post once a day it won't trigger. I don't have any other accounts. So for those asking, you have matured accounts and it might be that reddit has changed the way the screen accounts now. I'm asking if anyone else can try to open a new account with mullvad and stay active past a few comment posts. Hopefully this stays up so I can get some help.

Once a comment post doesn't go through you'll know you've been suspended. The comment will show when you're logged in, but when you log out it will disappear and when you back a page you'll see a "account has been suspended" page.

I've tried multiple locals and servers...I think they recognize mullvad's servers cause I also get "you've been blocked" when I visit reddit even as a non-logged in visitor and no reddit cookies and fresh server. I think this is one of the parts to the equation how the recognize spammers in new accounts is if you have a vpn IP.

I ask any of you with mature accounts to try to open a fresh one and let me know in this post if you can keep your account past a day or more than several comment posts anywhere on reddit. If I post more than one or two comments in a short period of time I'll get banned...tried so many times. All I want to do is socialize on the internet, but this is too hard on reddit.

In the U.K but no matter what server I choose, either webpages take an age to load or simply time out. Never had it this bad before.

I cannot get a number of websites to load on my laptop with mullvad enabled. I have tried firefox (split tunneled) and chrome (with mullvad enabled) and regardless, a few websites (e.g., USPS) will not load for me. Works fine on my phone or other computer without a vpn and has been ongoing for months. Now it's getting in the way of a site I need to use for work which is a problem. Connected to Sweeden. Suggestions for how to fix this?

Here are my circumstances:

1. I'm staying in China during 10 - 22 April 2025. This might help you decide if this information is outdated.

3. I can't access normal sites when I switched to using hotel wifi (This is when I using VPN)
4. My phone is android and using sim from my country with roaming package.

Here is my mullvad setting:

1. DAITA without direct connect only
2. Multihop
3. Wireguard port auto
4. Shadowsocks
5. Quantum Resistance auto
6. Server location: Thailand (I tried many of them but it not working)
7. No DNS settings
8. No DNS content blockers
9. Speed is reasonable for me (1080p Youtube with small buffering)

PS: I posted this from my hotel wifi with Mullvad

I’m a new Mullvad user and I love the approach to privacy and what Mullvad stands for. I’ve used Private Internet Access, ExpressVPN, and others in the past. ExpressVPN was my go to until I found out that they are owned by an organization I definitely don’t trust.

Anyway, after using Mullvad VPN for a month now, I always seem to have the problem that many websites, services, or apps restrict access. I usually connect to Germany, Austria, Italy, or East Coast USA.

Is this normal behavior for Mullvad? Rarely have I came across this type of problem with other paid VPN services.

I can only assume that Mullvad VPN addresses are “blacklisted” or “flag” for abuse or something of that nature. Can anyone relate?

When an automatited Killswitch not only FAILS, BUT ALSO DOESN'T EVEN NOTIFY IT USERS one rightfully can be expected to be pi$$ed off!

Then there is the fact that the proxy encryption fails.

Mullvad is simply unreliable!

You have been warned.

I'm having a ping issue in CS2, the game is added to split tunnel. So it shouldn't be tunneled through Mullvad servers. The pings are so weird that they happen for like 10 second and then don't happen a while again. Like a round, then again. When I check task manager during this high ping, I see network tab shows around a 15Mbps of upload. Which is identical to my whole upload speed, when I check processes tab to see which one is doing this much of network request. It's mullvad-daemon, what is mullvad-daemon uploading at the speed of my upload? DAITA is off, I don't have anything open apart from Discord and Steam while gaming, I'm not in voice chat, not uploading any files to Discord. So, what is this mullvad-daemon upload then?

I have been able to install on other Linux computers but I haven't been able to get it working

I have been using mullvad happily for years but for the past few days I can't search with google and youtube says I have no internet access while I am connected.

It doesn't matter where I connect. Not sure how to fox this also because I don't see others with this problem.

Is there anyway round this?

The original post: /r/mullvadvpn by /u/Intelligent-Stone on 2025-04-06 19:44:35.

Do I have to test one by one, or is there a general rule for it? Especially for torrents, like, I found that download speed in Romania is faster than Sweden, Switzerland, France and Germany.

Well it worked in the first few days then it went in a refreshing loop. I can open the app, and I see the "Hot " section but the displayed coins are not refreshing like it's an old caption, old cache of the app. The other sections are just refreshing without result. What can I do ? I have multihop, and obfuscation active. Ty.🙏 P.S. Android phone here..

So I have used Mullvad for about 3 years, same account on PC and mobile, I live in Thailand.

Recently, I was unable to connect to my banking apps, tried different setting, but nothing would work, so I cleanly deleted the app.

Left it a few days and re-installed from the app store, put in my account number, and a message popped up "too many devises connected" and there were 5 other different user accounts connected to my VPN, all of which I was able to delete

Looks like my account number had been hacked?

Anyone else with this problem?

I've been using Mullvad with qBittorrent for a long time now. But, I just found out about the configuration options in qBit (Network interface). I had it set to "Any interface" this whole time. Am I okay? I read something about that option being for a killswitch in case your VPN goes down.

Hello , I'm interested in purchasing mullvadvpn and i really like the fact that you can pay anonymously. However I live in Greece and I don't know if it's worth it to pay cash. I don't have any bitcoins but I'm willing to buy in order to pay anonymously . Although I don't really know the way. Any suggestions of how should I pay ??
