Mullvad VPN

I was researching VPNs for a long time before choosing a company and my main factor was speed. Big companies Nord, Surfshark, etc... Mullvad was the last company I tried because they did not offer a refund for crypto purchases. I have 2Gbps FTTH and wanted to get as close to that as I could with the understanding of congestion, and protocol overhead.

Mullvad beat every provider I tried and offers great features. I really like that they are making privacy moves even before they are needed such as quantum protection and DAITA.

TLDR; I saved the best for last and it was Mullvad.

Only thing I would want to see in the future is being able to pay with additional coin types. Not everyone wants or needs to be exposed to a volatile coin market.

Was doing some research on the mullvad browser. It was made with tor and i've heard tor is easily hackable which made me nervous about using it.

Would be interested in hearing feedback from people that use it as a daily driver. Thanks!

(Using OpenVPN TCP 443 bridge: off) Randomly out of nowhere it spazzes out and keeps disconnecting and reconnecting. Last few days Germany servers (specifically Frankfurt) have been rather slow too. Whats going on? The site shows no problems with the servers I'm connecting to.

I subscribed to Mullvad for international travel to deal with geoblocking issues. However, in Japan, it couldn't bypass the ID verification lock on the Tinder app, and in Vietnam, it failed to get around the TikTok block. I also use Google to check hotel prices, but it keeps converting them to local currency, and Mullvad can't bypass that either. Is there anything Mullvad can actually do?

Suppose I live in a country with strict governance and limited freedom of expression, yet I still want to tweet about certain political topics. If I purchase a Mullvad VPN subscription using my personal credit card, set up the VPN, and create a ProtonMail account through this network, then use that email to open a Twitter account and start tweeting, could the government trace me if they tried?

Always had a GREAT TIME with Mullvad as it’s just the most trustful VPN.

That said, I have one question.

Maybe it’s not a big deal, or just the app refreshing.

iOS App I’ll be connected, green screen and everything fine. Though I’ll do some stuff on my phone, flip back to the app and it’ll show the red screen (disconnected) and then flip back to the green screen (connected) as if it were just the app refreshing.

I’ve been told by numerous people this is normal. Just wanted to clarify and ask before assuming.

Hey guys!

I've been using Mullvad VPN for several years. Never had a problem watching Youtube videos. But recently it stopped working. Now every video I try to watch only shows "Video unavailable" "The content isn't available." If I turn the VPN off, it works fine again.

Anybody else got this problem?

I’ve been a Mullvad user since the days it offered static port forwarding. Anyway, I’m in China on vacation and to my surprise DAITA works without fail, if but bit slow.

UDP-over-TCP also sometimes work if you want to try direct connections.

Cheers.

Yo! i live in argentina, wanted to use Mullvad for a bit, but i found that i couldnt log into my account from the application, tried going to the site, it refused to load, tried multiple devices, from different IPs and it resulted in the same thing, im currently living in Argentina, could it be that the VPN is blocked here ? Has anyone else experienced these issues ?

Finally mullvad released an update that let users use multihop on android

Had anyone else got this issue? My NAS which is always connected to Mullvad via OpenVPN and has been fine for ages suddenly can't connect... I have also test this by setting up a new VPN profile for the NAS in the network settings but neither the new profile nor the old one connect to Mullvad. Mullvad does work fine on desktop though so I am unsure as to what the actual issue is... has anyone else experienced anything similar?

Hi,

i'm using speedtest tracker on my synology to test speeds. I got an NVME in my synology, i got a 2.5GB ethernet on my synology, i got a 10GB internet connection. Without openvpn set up with mullvad i get 2400ms/sec download with my ISP using speedtest tracker. I set up openvpn with different countries, i tried berlin, paris and sweden and they all get max 340MB/sec. it looks like mullvad is capping my download speed. Does anyone have the same issue. now i don't mind to download at 350mb/sec but still i thought mullvad servers are 40gb VPN links. (like sweden and berlin if i'm not mistaken)

Anyone has any idea what i do wrong?

D.

I have two WireGuard peers set up and communicating as expected. This is for remote access to my homelab.

On one of the peers, I run the Mullvad VPN client for general day-to-day usage. When Mullvad is enabled, I can still access my homelab remotely via WireGuard, however, this traffic now goes through the Mullvad VPN tunnel, which slows down the speed significantly.

How would I allow the traffic destined for my WireGuard peer to bypass MullvadVPN? I have set up custom routes (to the public IP of my homelab as well as the WireGuard IP), but it does not appear to do anything.

Hello, before using Mullvad VPN, I was using the NetGuard app, which can block internet access for specific apps on Android by creating a VPN to localhost. However, when I use Mullvad VPN, this is no longer possible. Is there a way to block internet access for apps on Android while staying connected to Mullvad VPN?

I’d like more granular control of Mullvad so I want to download the config and run it with my existing WireGuard infrastructure. If I do this, I know that I lose the ability to easily have a kill switch, since MacOS makes this difficult and Mullvad client abstracts this away.

What other functionality is lost by not using the Mullvad client, besides the obvious convenience of a UI?

Which server do you all use that works with Imgur? Is wireguard or OpenVPN better to use? I'm currently on an OpenVPN server in NYC and constantly get "Imgur is temporarily over capacity. Please try again later." As soon as I disconnect Mullvad it works fine.

My bank (Bank of America) no longer connects with the VPN up. I set up split tunneling via Safari (I typically use Firefox or Arc or Vivaldi)--but I can only connect to B of A if I *disconnect* from the VPN (true of all the browsers).

I'd like to use it to set different proxies for different websites, e.g. for Youtube and Reddit that have recently started to block VPN users unless they log in.

But if I install the Mullvad extension in Firefox it doesn't seem to be able to "connect" to the Mullvad app. Is it not possible on Android?

Does Mullvad’s VPN decrease the chances of successfully logging into big sites like instagram, gmail & so on ? I mean like when connected

Hey! I'm about to head to China, and am planning to use Mullvad. I just wanted to know if it still works, and if there is anything I couldn't do. I see some people are having problems with accessing google services, which I need to do work so any insight would be great.

I seriously do not believe most post keyword “most”about connection issues, sometimes it’s your own internet because trust me I know been through those.

Even other servers are better than most but complaining won’t fix much it’s just how life is something’s are better than others and that’s true so appreciate the VPN for what it is. Multi-hop is obviously going to slow you down to a degree, and don’t get me started on DAITA.

Enjoy it tho $5.99 a month at your own dispense is really worth it can’t beat it.🫰🏽
