Mullvad VPN

I've noticed lately that the vpn isn't really making an attempt to block ads on my iphone anymore. Just wondering if anyone else is experiencing this or if I'm missing something, I made no changes on the app but suddenly I'm seeing EVERY ad on every site, app, you name it.

I am based in the UK so not sure if it is possible to purchase XMR. I wish to learn as people have stated it is easy and takes 5 minutes but I have zero experience.

Using maps app or one social media app, they are both pinpointing my exact location, or understanding that i'm in china, even if mullvad app is on.

Why? Isn't mullvad supposed to change my location for all apps?

Do those in China have a special config for the Windows version?

I'm able to use the app with no issue in my tablet and phone at default settings, but I've always had trouble making it work on the desktop. If I make it work once, the next day it won't work anymore and have installed and uninstalled it multiple times.

I've done the config for mullvad bridges and apisocks5 but it's almost always "API unreachable"

I know almost nothing on the technical side, I was only able to make the above configs with the guides in mullvad

On March 14, 2025, a root certificate used by Firefox will expire. Firefox 128 and lower will suffer significant issues related to

• configuration
• add-ons

• DRM-protected media playback.

Is an update of Mullvad Browser scheduled to be released before then?

Wondering why I have two outbound IP addresses. Seen this on a bunch of devices. Same IPv4 in and out and then another IP4 linked to unknown location (eg, if I have Mullvad set to Dallas the second one is going somewhere in Europe).

On a new phone, I now have the same IPv4 in and out plus an IPv6 out which says Tzulo when I search it. So appears to also be Mullvad but not sure it's me.

Appreciate your help and insights! Thank you.

When I try to use split tunneling for a csgo it gives me an error which says I have no internet connection.

Meanwhile my friend who does the same, it works for him.

I've had Mullvad and Whatsapp desktop app on my Mac for quite some time now, but with the latest update, no Whatsapp messages will sync unless I first disable Mullvad. I'm not familiar with the intricacies of how it works and wondered if someone could advise on how I allow Whatsapp to still connect with my phone? Thanks for any advice.

That server is constantly in a state of being down and up. Usually more of the former. It'll be up for a day or two out of the month in my experience. I've been curious about this for a long time.

From a non-techy user: When clicking mulvad browser’s “New Identity” button, what does it mean it is necessary to “manually switch server as well”? Is it simple to do?

Hello,

I'm trying to login to my account but I keep getting the error: please try again later. Even when creating new account.

I found similar issues in the past on the sub but no solutions except that the servers must have been down or smthn. Can someone confirm?

I am considering using Mullvad as my main browser. I love so much about it, but one key thing missing for me is the ability to be able to use vim bindings. I have to say that it is one of the most important things I look for in a browser, besides privacy.

Is this something the developers are considering implementing? And what do other users think about it?

Newb, here. Macbook pro. I have been trying to read forums and also using chatgpt, but I've run into a wall and keep getting error messages in Terminal.

Downloaded GnuPG via Homebrew. New to Homebrew as well and new to using terminal. I downloaded the MullvadVPN package, I have the public key .asc file downloaded and imported, and I also have the signature file for the vpn app downloaded in "plain text" as ChatGPT instructed (I'm sure trusting ChatGPT is something I should be skeptical of, but I am trying to learn on my own and haven't found many references for my particular issue to learn from).

My problem is the .asc file (public key?) is imported, but when I go to import the signature file for the vpn app and save it in my Downloads where the .pkg file is, I still can't import it and it produces no result. Last night I tried following some of the instructions and used a wget command, idk if that has something to do with making an issue or not? Today I cleared my keys, cleared my downloads in Finder, and re-downloaded everything and tried again to no avail. As of right now I have the .pkg file, the .asc file (imported) and tried to save the signature via textedit (I also saved that as a .asc file).

I'm sorry about being such a newb. I know it is healthy to verify signatures and I really want to learn how, but I've been at this for a number of hours now and figured I'd reach out. I feel dum

**Problem solved**

Alright, hear me out—I’ve been digging into Mullvad VPN lately, and something feels off. Some red flags that make me wonder if this whole thing is EncroChat 2.0, just more low key.

First off, it’s dirt cheap. Like, $5-6 a month? Compare that to other big-name VPNs charging at least $15, or more. Are they banking on volume (don't think so), or is something else funding this operation?

And what about that 2023 police raid? The very public one where Swedish police showed up with a warrant and left empty-handed because Mullvad proved they don’t keep any user logs?

Staged PR move to make them look more legit to attract more privacy dependent users?

People always point to the open-source applications and no-logs policy as proof they’re trustworthy. Anyone actually looked through any of it? Also, in 2023, Sweden introduced a law expanding police surveillance that allows covert measures, like electronic monitoring and wiretapping, without requiring concrete suspicion of a crime.

Plus, their server network is tiny compared to competitors And a bunch of their servers are in Canada and Australia, places known for cracking down hard on free speech and pushing surveillance laws.

Then there’s the job thing. I’ve checked their site a few times over the years, and they rarely have any openings. When they do, it’s usually just low-level stuff like support—no infrastructure engineering roles that you’d expect. Feels like they’re not exactly growing or innovating much for a company that’s supposedly been around since 2009, especially when privacy is a commodity these days.

Also, what’s with those weird animations and mascot videos? Feels like a polished PR campaign from a marketing team trying to sell us on a vibe. And speaking of vibes, their whole aesthetic and drawings/cartoons is almost too hip for a company that’s supposed to be about staying under the radar. Moreover their whole yellow-and-blue color scheme? To those of us who are Swedish, that screams national identity, which is also weird if you'd like to be low key.

Oh, and as stated — the name “Mullvad” literally means “mole” in Swedish. Bye!

I want to setup one of my VMs so it can only connect to the internet through Mullvad, similar to how you can set things up with qBittorrent etc..

The Problem is that Mullvad is not listed in VirtualBox menu. The Cisco AnyConnect client for instance is. One difference I have found is that in the properties of any adapter that shows up "VirtualBox NDIS6 Bridged Networking Driver" is listed and not in the mullvad properties. I tried to install it but nothing happens.

How do I set this up? Has anyone done that before?

(Running Win10 with Mullvad 2025.4 and VB 7.1.6)

Whenever I turn my computer on, the globe icon (indicating there is no network connection) turns into the monitor with an ethernet cable icon, then it turns BACK into the globe icon after Mullvad starts.

When I stop Mullvad connecting hoping to regain my internet access, the app gets stuck on the green padlock with a red dot (a.k.a. connecting mode), and it won’t switch to the red padlock. Even after closing the app. I’ve tried Task Killing all the processes associated with Mullvad to no avail, and even Task Manager glitches by showing processes that CMD says aren’t open.

Anyone able to help? I have the latest version of Mullvad VPN for Windows 10 22H2, and I also have ZoneAlarm Extreme Security Nextgen as my Antivirus. Added exceptions for every single EXE file found in the Mullvad directory in Program Files

I have reason to believe it’s my AV because when I was subscribed to ProtonVPN, it had a habit of cutting off my internet access for certain apps and turning the whole ProtonVPN app into a white screen. However I’m open to your theories.

Had to shut down Mullvad VPN today because it used ~1.5GB of data (of my 2GB plan 🙃) over about 30 minutes. No other app is even close to 150MB in the same time period so it can't be that. Why would this occur? I don't trust the app anymore, I was just lucky to have been using my phone while my 2GB warning came up...

[Edit: on wifi the data usage is about 50% Mullvad and 50% all other apps, which seems reasonable, but would speak against for example DAITA (thank you to @ballesterer13 for bringing this up) since on regular data Mullvad has consumed almost 2.6GB and all my other apps combined is ~300MB. Or, why would DAITA consume 1.5GB over thirty minutes rather than just constant extra use -like wifi data shows.]

Before I must say Mullvad has been the best to use in China for over 2 years. Rarely had connection issues where all others failed like Nord and Express and lately Astrill. But it seems the fun is over. I'm unable to connect to any server on any device no matter which VPN settings. Are there other users in China encountering the same issue?

Tailscale is already set up as an exit node and advertising subnets. It works with Mullvad VPN turned off but not when it's turned on.

Tried using the app:

Settings > Split tunneling. Tailscale is not in the list. Selecting it manually by clicking "Find another app" and then going to its directory usr/bin/tailscale

Tailscale doesn't show up in the list. Doesn't work.

Tried the terminal:

pgrep tailscale

mullvad split-tunnel add 8700

No errors and it is in the split-tunnel list but it doesn't work.

Edit: Running Linux Mint Xfce 22.1 on a Dell Wyse 5070.

I admit to even more utter stupidity, but hope it helps someone help me out. I thought I had Mullvad VPN uninstalled, certainly not running, and noticed it setting up an outbound call, so blocked it with Little Snitch, which I’m just learning to use. I may have deleted the rule. Crap. Lost my connection to internet. Used, per suggestion on one side,AppCleaner, rebooted safe mode, still no luck. I can’t find explicit info on ~/Library/ files to trash, and noticed Mullvad daemon running (I don’t remember where). And in spite of trashing everything I know about the Mullvad is “allowed in background “

I reinstalled my OS, circled 13 times while whistling REM tunes through a mouthful of crackers… nada. Can someone please give me figure this out for this noob?
