hi,

I have no complains but I hope Mullvad becomes affordable and they help the poor. I too want to experience this but I don't have such huge amount of data to spend let alone spend in euros. I really wish that the team is listening and they find some ways to address this situation. I am willing to buy just like everybody but I don't need one whole month of usage. For me, one week or even few hours a day is enough to get going. Say like a pay as you go plan.

thank u (pls ignore my english I am not good at it)

Sorry if the answer it out there but based on reading the court order and blogs was there a specific reason the Swedish police did this?

Hi all,

I'm recently having an issue with the desktop app. Over the past week, the app has kept timing out, refusing to connect altogether.

On top of this, it requires that I do a full uninstall and install. Now the kill switch seems to be greyed out (though I'm not sure if it should be this way since the most recent update)

Does anyone have the same issue? How do you think you could go about fixing it?

Howdy, I'm unable to access my qBitTorrent Debian VM when Mullvad is active. Both the CLI setting to allow lan access and the GUI setting for local network access have been changed per docs, and yet this issue persists. Does anyone know how to correct this? Old threads with similar. issues exist but nobody has a resolution. Any help would be appreciated!

My PC has internet via my phone with usb tethering using unlimited data. I also recently bought Mullvad vpn subscription. For torrenting, steaming etc, I am ok with just using the vpn on the PC or do i need it on my phone?

Does Mullvad supports torrenting?

Seems a bit of a strange one but as soon as I turn on the VPN, Firefox just straight up doesn't do anything... any suggestions?

I have a home router, a travel router, a phone, and a laptop.

When my phone and laptop are connected to my home router, internet works fine.

Until I turn on my VPN. Then it's stuck on "Connecting..." for eternity.

However, if I connect my phone and laptop to my travel router, everything works fine. The only difference is that on the travel router I have MullvadVPN installed, so even if I turn off the VPN on my phone and laptop, I'm still connected over VPN.

Power cycling my devices didn't fix anything.

Also of note: It doesn't matter if I'm connected to the main router or the travel router w/ the VPN. If I open the MullvadVPN app, on either my phone or my laptop, it gets stuck on "Connecting..." regardless of which router it's connected to.

I've been experimenting with VPNs for the last few months. I've used StarVPN and Torguard as well as the basic ones like Express and Proton. Just started to use Mullvad because of all the hype. So far, I like the simplicity of it, and it's worked well for my use case - their month to month payment options are convenient and easy.

One question I have is: why is Mullvad more secure than the others? I'm not a technical person, so if you can dumb this down for me I would appreciate it. I understand the no logging concept, but are there any other reasons?

Hey guys, I am using Objective-See's LuLu Firewall alongside Mullvad VPN on MacOS (everything is up to date). If the VPN and LuLu are used at the same time, the speeds are near zero. When I disable LuLu, VPN speed becomes normal. Is there a way to set those 2 apps for normal speeds? Thanks!

Looks like all the servers available through Atlanta just disappeared. Did any user get notification?

Hello all, here the brief.

I've got my whole ecosystem at Proton for the slightly sensitive part, the other at self host for the very sensitive (nothing illegal, i swear).

Can you convince me to pay a subscription to Mullvad to give it a try? This is a serious and open question on my part, a real request based on your feedback and opinions! Tell me what you like about Mullvad.

I'm in IT stuffs, so don't be afraid to go into technical details.

I look forward to all replies with haste and pleasure

I recently discovered that Mullvad's DNS filtering is free. I like to pay for their VPN when I am traveling or will be connecting to a lot of public WiFi, but at home I don't typically use a VPN. I do however use Adguard DNS to filter and encrypt my interent traffic on my iOS and iPadOS devices.

How do I configure system wide encrypted DNS filtering on iOS using Mullvad. I assume I use a different DNS filtering app and then use Mullvad's DNS url? Or will the Mullvad VPN app still filter DNS traffic even after my VPN subscription expires?

I am asking this because I use Tailscale to access my self hosted websites but want to know if using Mullvad within Tailscale to route my website traffic (on my phone) will route to the Mullvad exit node securely and be able to access my home network. Or if I should just disconnect from Tailscale and use standalone mullvad.

Mullvad is just becoming unusable for me. On iOS, I can’t open any Twitter (X) links, Facebook links, and some other sites just don’t let me access them. I also can’t download videos from Instagram anymore. With other VPNs, I don’t have this problem. Is anybody else having the same issues?

I need to have at least one single browser without a vpn on due to stupid remote work company policies.

I have trief enabling split tunnel but it kills the connection of all browsers I tried so far.

Im on windows 11. tried with librewolf, ungoogled and mullvad browsers.

How do i enable this setting?

I'm not quite clear if Mullvad will route all connections (outside of Apple specific ones) through the iOS vpn or if apps can bypass it?

For instance, can the Facebook and Instagram apps use other connections that don't run through Mullvad? What if the iOS app stops working, does the "kill switch" stop the Instagram apps from connecting, or does it just switch to the standard wifi or cell data?

Prior to the 2-day CCP session, Mullvad worked perfectly. Now it's a disaster for people living in China for weeks. I reached out to support and all I received back was a link to an older reddit post where someone listed some servers that might work. What is that about? Why not actively try to help users and enhance connectivity in China instead of focusing on less useful features like DAITA?

As mentioned the other gripe is that even after you manage to connect, after 4 pm local time, the speed drops so dramatically, it's basically unusable. Sad to say my backup VPN is now my primary.

I'm unsure I'll renew as I don't feel Mullvad is actively assisting users in China based on their useless response. Very disappointed as I used to have nothing but praise and recommended Mullvad to lots of visitors here.

Has anyone had an issue where all downloads fail while connected to Mullvad? I can't download even small files like less than 1000mb mods for games. I'm new to Mullvad, I haven't been able to use it at all when downloading anything. I've tried different server locations and have tried with DAITA both on and off. Any advice?

Hello, I am using the Kuala Lumpur server and when I am browsing it feels significantly slower than normal, I have enabled the DAITA functionality, is this necessary or better to turn it of?

Thanks!

Hey All,

Recently I switched to Arch Linux from Kubuntu, and I noticed when I have Mullvad enabled at startup, Discord and Steam are unable to connect. Steam is unable to connect to the web and Discord just loops on "Failed Update". When I disconnect though, Discord fixes itself and Steam works again after a restart. If I re-enable it later, Discord continues to work, but Steam breaks again. I did not have any of these problems on Kubuntu. On top of that, Mullvad seems to bog down my speeds more on Arch then it did on Kubuntu.

Any help would be appreciated. Thank you!
