Hi,

Since Russian cards can't be used due to sanctions, how can I pay for a VPN? Unfortunately, crypto isn’t an option either, as most services require bank or card deposits.

Thanks

Investigating why I was getting CAPTCHA's in EVERY site I visited, turns out I was routed thru a flagged IP while using Mullvad, is this normal?

I just got mullvad to use in China and it’s very slow in loading websites, unable to run games and disconnects frequently. Is there anyway for me to fix this and is it usually this slow?

Hey all. Im using iOS and it seems like that even though the doh profile is enabled, I still receive ads. Have you guys the same issue? I can resolve that issue temporarily by enabling airplane mode but after ~15 minutes it’s still the same and the ads coming though.

My android devices started to keep getting the following looping error:

  1. Preserve, attempt, establish with 127.0.0.1:1080
  2. recv_socks_reply: TCP port read timeout expired. Operation now in progress (errno=115)
  3. SIGUSR1[soft,socks-error] received, process restarting

Devices

  • are Using OpenVPN with Shadowsocks.
  • won't connect either through Mullvad app or Wireguard.

Any advice? Thank you.

Whenever I enable the VPN with the hotspot on, it completely shuts off internet

Hello, for the last couple of days i've been having troubles connecting to Mullvad on any server / through any connection with the quantum resistant tunnel option enabled (on Andorid). The connection keeps being stuck in a never ending loading cycle. The only way of enabling the option seems to be by connecting with that disabled, and then enabling it again later, which seems to fix that. Is it a known issue?

I tried connecting to paris wireguard servers... and then via uk using socks5 proxy. They all let me load a page or two at first before becoming completely unapologetically blocked. Does not like any of the IP addresses I've tried. Ironically using free protonvpn to access the site now via browser extension. Did I make a mistake going back to mullvad?

I used mullvad vpn and session app at the same time on my ios. Whenever I send a request message to someone new on session, it takes decades for the messages to be delivered. However, when I turn the VPN off, session app works perfectly fine. I guess there might be something wrong with mullvad, do you guys have any suggestion on how to fix it?

I'm using Debian 12 on a Thinkpad, and I'm experiencing frequent disconnections with Mullvad. Since it works well on Windows 10, I don't believe it's a hardware issue, but I've encountered the same problem on Debian, Mint, and Ubuntu.

On Mint, Mullvad tries to reconnect, and it succeeds about 80% of the time without needing a full restart. However, on Debian, it simply drops the connection—Mullvad still shows as connected, and my computer still says it's on the network, but there's no traffic at all. When I hit the red restart button to resolve it, it just disconnects again within a minute. Anyone else faced a similar issue?

So I'm new in the OpenWRT and Mullvad communities, and basically I flashed my router with OpenWRT and install Wireguard on it and followed the Mullvad guide to set it up. I also used the appropriate DNS server which filters out explicit content. The thing is that some websites, even though they come under the adult category are not filtered and I would like to know if it is possible to block them as well as use Mullvad's own DNS server?

I looked up BanIP module on OpenWRT but I am not sure how it works on a Wireguard tunnel because it is currently not working. So if anybody has any idea how to block websites which are not blocked currently by Mullvad's own DNS blocklist, please help.

Hi, is it possible to route single requests over a specific mullvad relay?

In my case i want to make 10 requests from python via one relay and then 10 requests via a different relay. Possibly even asynchronous and without using the cli to connect. Basically like a proxy, if i am using these terms correctly?

I currently am using OPNSense and AdguardHome routed through Unbound DNS - DNS over TLS through 1.1.1.1 and 1.0.0.1. I am looking to spruce up my configuration.

I saw https://mullvad.net/en/help/dns-over-https-and-dns-over-tls and that Mullvad and OPNSense support Wireguard.

What is the recommended way to combine these services for my devices, with a good balance of speed and privacy? Should I use the Mullvad VPN app on my phone and at home, use a Mullvad DoH/DoT DNS server through Unbound, or use Mullvad Wireguard and route everything through there? Or something else.

I have a GL MT1300 router. According to the GL website (and the onboard software) I should be able to simply enter my Mullvad account number, and it will do all the work so I can connect via WireGuard. However, it doesn't seem to be working like that for me.

I have tried both simply entering my Mullvad account number, but after a few minutes 'generating configuration' that returns an error "Add Failed"

I have also tried doing so manually, following instructions I found on another post, and pasting the config details (generated on the Mullvad website) directly in. But when I do that, I get the error "No parameter found."

So I'm not sure what to try next. I'm based in China, but Mullvad works here, so I'd hoped it would work on my GL router too. If anyone has any suggestions, I'd appreciate hearing what I've undoubtedly missed!

EDIT: As expected, yep, it was my stupidity. I assumed a 4 year old router would be as updated as it would ever be, but in fact, my firmware was about two years out of date! Updated that, used manual config files, and Mullvad connected straight away. Yay!

I get the idea in principle, DNS over HTTPS (I don't understand every detail, but at a super high level, I get it), but installing the profile doesn't actually change my DNS provider? Like, I installed the profile, but I still have my old DNS settings in the Network tab (I was using 1.1.1.1). I thought it was going to take over and use Mullvad's DNS settings. Can they provide the DNS over https, but using someone else's DNS?

Kind of confused.

For some reason, Mullvad no longer automatically launches on login when I use my non-admin profile in macOS Sequoia. Changing the "Launch app on startup" option doesn't do anything under my non-admin profile.

I tried going to the Mac's Login Items, but I'm unable to add Mullvad. I choose the application, I am NOT prompted for admin credentials, and Mullvad doesn't appear in the Login Items section. No errors appear.

Mullvad properly starts on login under my admin profile.

I tried reinstalling Mullvad, didn't help.

The Mullvad browser uses the the Open source code from Firefox, but now we now Firefox have this "Privacy Preserving Attribution" feature that tracks us.

Mullvad browser have this to?

Original Title: If someone pays with monero is it really anonymous since mullvad still knows that you have purchased it with monero so it breaks the anonymity since it is known that the transaction has occured and they know your ip?


Is it really anonymous if you pay with monero since they already see everything?

In Ubuntu 24, is it possible to choose only one or several specific apps to run through Mullvad? When using split tunnelling, the excluded apps are not working smoothly. It is as if Mullvad is still messing with these apps or with potential dependencies. So instead of Excluding specific apps I want to Target specific apps. Possible?
