Until yesterday, the VPN UI has always opened right above the tray on the right corner of my taskbar. For some reason, since yesterday, it's been opening up right in the middle of my screen when I click the icon. The option to "unpin from taskbar" has always been off. I don't want to turn it on and reposition it manually because then it adds those ugly Windows borders around the app. It's always worked fine just as it was without that option. Also, if I reposition it manually and then turn off the "unpin from taskbar" option, it snaps back to the middle of my screen.

Is there a reason for this sudden change? Is it a bug? If so, I hope the devs can address it. It's not a major thing. But it's a thing. Thanks

This one is a bit different. I live in the country with the Great Firewall and the service works great for most of the day - especially in the mornings. I don't have many complaints, though it does sometimes require searching around for faster servers.

In the evening, it slows down like crazy. I typically use fast.com to check speeds and last night I think I got around 500kBs from the usually LA server I use and like 1.5mBs from HK. I can watch TY and do basic stuff but updating or much else is painfully slow. During the day it can get up to 45mbs, etc.

Is it just the ISP being overloaded of what? Any tips or tricks to make my connection faster? I'm using WG.

going to China for 4 weeks, would Mullvad be good vpn use on laptop? Just for general spotify, youtube, social media access at night times.

Is there a work around or solution? I have to turn off Mullvad, make my perplexity search on the perplexity app, then once done turn Mullvad back on.

There’s no split tunneling in iOS, is there a work around?

I've been using Mullvad for a while now and all is good. Decided to try out multi-hop today. I understand it reduces latency but it was quite noticeable. I've never noticed latency issues with mullvad before, so I decided to measure it using ping google.com

Multi-hop on: ~320ms

Multi-hop off: ~40ms

Mullvad off: ~15ms

Seems a bit extreme, is this expected? Would using WireGuard rather than Mullvad client help a lot or not really?

I just installed Mullvad on my new PC and the little Mullvad app window now pins to the center of my PC screen. This is really ugly and annoying to me. It always pinned to the bottom right corner of the screen (next to the lock system tray icon) on my previous PC. That made sense and was more functional.

To make matters worse, when I go to select the option to find more apps on split tunneling, that pop-up window is pinned below the annoyingly center-pinned Mullvad main app window. I have to shuffle that split tunneling screen around the Mullvad main app window multiple times just to be able to read the file path or select the buttons.

This is a horrible UI and UX. Has anyone expereinced this and does anyone have a suggested fix?

Also, I have always been annoyed that the Mullvad PC app shows the same size as a mobile screen and isn't adjustable. I am using a PC for a reason, the main one being that I like to work with a bigger screen. It seems like pure developer laziness imo. It's not hard to create dynamic mobile/tablet/desktop interfaces for apps nowadays. It's pretty darn standard.

I have the same question as this guy who never got an answer https://www.reddit.com/r/mullvadvpn/comments/17r8ggo/mullvad_adapter_in_hyperv_vm/

The Mullvad network adapter doesn't show up in the Hyper-V Virtual Switch Manager

When I switch servers, is there a chance my IP will leak?

The original post: /r/mullvadvpn by /u/jikesar968 on 2024-12-09 03:39:26.

I don't mean to attack the developers in any way but truth be told, being blocked by more and more websites makes Mullvad increasingly unusable. There are numerous websites that provide 403 and other kinds of error messages. Even on Reddit, I constantly need switch servers to find one that isn't blocked. Not even switching to old Reddit or logging in works anymore in a lot of cases. I can't even watch YouTube via NewPipe and LibreTube without changing servers every few videos now. It's even more annoying when my accounts on some websites get permabanned the second I create them.

It used to be that only streaming services didn't work or that you were fed annoying amounts of captchas, but now Mullvad is being outright blocked by a sizeable portion of the internet.

They seriously need to work out something with IP blacklist creators and/or develop some kind of workaround to bypass these blocks. Even if it is a cat and mouse game, that's still preferable to the current situation.

Am I the only one? Any fix?

Greetings. I recently acquired mullvad VPN mainly to access streaming services from different countries. For example, BBC iplayer requires you to be in the UK to use. This works with another brand of VPN i have used in the past, but with mullvad it doesn't seem to work. Even if i connect to the UK, it still recognizes that i am not in the UK. Am i doing something wrong? I'm new to this VPN business so be gentle.

Any plans to set up in India? One sixth of the planet's population. Nearly 1.5 billion people and no Mullvad servers.

Hey all,

I am not a super technically profiecient guy so sorry if this question is dumb but I am in the UAE and got a new Mac. I want to install the app but unable to do so because they won't let me visit the website. What are my options for I can install the app? As I understand, the app is not on the Mac Appstore.

Thanks in advance for your help!

When updating Mullvad on Mac OS the vpn closes and installs the new version. Does this cause my real IP to leak?

I saw that its best to leave mullvad browser the same as you install it; but i want to tweak the dns to nextdns because it provides me more blocklists. So my question is if i do that would i be better off sticking to a hardened firefox or is it fine to modify the dns on mullvad browser?

HI ALL, I AM trying to set up my opnsense so i can use mullvad vpn to route all of my internet traffic out to the internet with the VPN.

currently,

Brief details on my setup( I DID THE WHOLE SET UP JUST WATCHING YT VIDEOS, I AM A COMPLETE NOOB AT THIS)

-i have opn sense runningby it self on an old dell desktop

-i have my mail LAN with about 5 vlans running

-for DNS, i use adguard home and it be4en great, no problem at all

-ALL OF THIS WORKS AND I AM ABLE TO COMMUNICATE WITH OTHER VLANS ON MY NETWORK AS I PERMIT

MY PROBLEMS

I HAVE BEEN TRYING TO SET UP MULLVARD TO ROUTE ALL OF MY INTERNET TRAFFIC OUT TO THE INTERNET INCLUING THE ONES ON THE VLAN BUT I HAVE BEEN UNABLE TO DO THAT, I TRIED FOLLOWING TWO YT VIDEO ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fFszlJpTBoc&t=29s AND https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ev3uT-dPSyc )

i can set each of my network like my lan or vlan to each use the gateway, they work but once that happens i loose access to communication with other network like i have been able to, once i set it to use the default gateway, everything start to work normall again.

MY GOAL/WHAT I AM TRYING TO ARCHIVE

1. I want to route all of my internet over mullvard to the internet, and i still want my network to be able to communicate to each other( the ones i allow to do that)

2.i will like to keep adguard as my Dns server( i notice once i set mullvard to be the gateway it hijacks the dns aswell.

Thank you so much, configuration pics

Edit 3: So after learning it was only me I decided to restart. Mullvad connected, disconnected for a second, connected again and now seems to be stable. Really strange behaviour tbh but leaving this here as documentation in case this finds someone in the same boat

Edit 2: Nvm apparently it's just me. I'm not sure why :/

Site and client are down for me. Edit: There are enough reports on downdetector now that I'm pretty sure it really is down. What a shame

hi everyone i found a problem with mullvad and account generation this is just theory and a poc but this is opensource so i thought about this since mullvad account only have number why cant account just be brute forced and saved to a list of valid ones and it turns out it might me possible

remediation is hexadecimal accounts not just numbers

Generate Account Numbers Sequentially: Use a tool like seq in Linux or Python to generate numbers in the required 16-digit format.

Test Against Mullvad's API: Use curl or a similar tool to send HTTP requests to the Mullvad endpoint to check if an account number is valid.

Save Valid Accounts: If the API response indicates the account is valid, save the number to a file.

validgen is the final poc

Hey guys, I wanted to use Mullvad browser to log in with Facebook and protect my privacy more but it seems this doesen´t work. I simply can´t log in. Is it normal?

Anyone been experiencing far more connectivity and speed issues lately?

Been using Mullvad for almost 2 years now and it has been solid, however the last 2 months I’d say have been a below average experience, extremely slow speeds, disconnections and so on. Can verify it isn’t my connection as at times with Mullvad in it refuses to even load a simple web page, turn Mullvad off and it’s fine (gigabit connection) connectivity and speed issues seem to be happening almost daily. Mullvad has been good as you can simply pay a flat rate for a month at a time but I’m considering dropping Mullvad for Proton at this rate

Before installing almost anything, I check signatures for software. For the latest release of Mullvad, it seems it’s not signed or verified for Mac but the previous versions are

What’s going on? It’s from the official site, linked directly from the app, so this is very odd.
