Mullvad website and Sweden VPN servers are down.

Just wondering what has caused this outage, was it due to the feds hitting their data center in Sweden again to cause their owned servers to go down? Mullvad still works with VPNs servers not owned by them outside of Sweden. It seems the website is slowly coming back online which makes me think it's maybe a large attack. What do you guys think or does anyone know?

Hi!

For the last 1-2 months I had some random disconnects. They happen like maybe at most once a week. And seems to happen when I play games, almost got banned a few times because I don't reconnect in time.

I would disable the VPN for the game, but then voice chat don't work..

But I'm not sure if it's the VPN that disconnects or my actual ISP. It's only down for maybe a few seconds to a minute.

Is there a way to see in Windows or the Mullvad app what's been going on? Like how often it's disconnected?

Like is there a log in Windows that can show me if its my ISP or the VPN that disconnects?

EDIT: Okay, this specific latest incident seems to be connected to Mullvad own servers. They are down atm?

Anyone else currently experiencing high ping with Mullvad owned servers? I specifically use the London servers and compared to non owned I'm getting high ping.

So you know how iVPN has that warning in the settings?

What if the user could flip a switch in the settings that would only show up when mutli-hop is enabled to warn the user that the first hop selected and the second hop selected are from the same provider and/or country?

Doing this would add an extra layer of bullshit a threat-actor would have to get through to track where the user's traffic is going.

Hey all, a VPN hides my IP from the Internet, but does it also hide it from an .exe application I download on my computer ? Since (I guess) the .exe software has more rights/access on my PC than a random website.

Thanks :)

Hello,

For some reason mullvad on my router has big trouble to connect to a lot of servers, while some have no problem connecting. I don’t have that problem at all on the iOS or windows app. Does anyone have the same problem ?

Hi, I'm trying to set up split-tunneling for Minecraft in order to exclude it from going through the VPN. I have tried setting both java.exe and javaw.exe as exceptions in the split-tunneling, but it is still sending Minecraft through the VPN and so I can't connect to servers. I have also tried with normal java from oracle and with Adoptium which is an alternative to Oracle's Java. No luck

I'm experiencing issues when using servers located in the EU. I've tested servers in Sweden, Germany, and the Netherlands. Some pages don't load at all, and even this page Intel Driver Support Assistant says "Access Denied." Additionally, some other pages like Copilot show the error message: This page contains the following errors:

Has anyone else encountered this issue? I'm trying to determine if this is just me or if there's something wrong with Mullvad.

Thanks in advance for your help!

Hi all, in need of some assistance.

My school uses fortinet/fortiguard to block websites and software at my school. I believe also when you connect to the wifi you have to accept a certificate.

I use macos, and have tried everything under wireguard and openvpn settings suggested by people (and different dns servers) on reddit, and the most i’ll get is a connection to a server leaving me with no internet.

For clarification this is in no way for me to try and play games or watch videos on the schools wifi, I have a hotspot that would save me the trouble. This is just for me as an i.t. interested student to learn about network security and how the schools wifi works.

Hey! so I turned on my hotspot on my main iPhone then I connected my other iPhone to the hotspot & turned on my vpn on the phone that I connected to my hotspot & got this message when trying turning on the vpn

Your local network might be unsafe (the interface 'enO' has the IP and prefix '138.86.47.16/22'). Your data may be sent unencrypted over the local network. Enabling Kill Switch will block this traffic. Connections to local peripherals will be interrupted.

Does anyone have any info on what this means is someone spying on my data is my data being sent to another device? I’m confused

Could a malicious actor intercept and monitor my internet traffic in secret if they have my Mullvad account number? Not sure how it works.

  1. I recently discovered how to disable DNS hijacking and use custom DNS directly with Wireguard. And my doubt would be if doing this which side of the tunnel do those DNS requests happen on?

its it:ME --> Mullvad --> DNS, meaning that my ISP can't see my DNS requests?

Or is it:

ME --> DNS --> Mullvad, meaning that my ISP CAN see my unencrypted DNS requests?

and the second

  1. if it is possible to activate DNS-over-HTTPS in wireguard or in the mullvad app itself using custom dns? How to?

Hi! Can you share your favorite server provider in the US? I'd love to hear your reasons behind your choice!

I've now had my Instagram account suspended and unsuspended (after submitting a video selfie and verifications) over 10 times. Starting to suspect if it's Meta having blocked those IPs which I connect to from time to time.

I recently purchased a Mullvad VPN subscription, expecting a stable and reliable connection. Unfortunately, my experience has been marred by wildly fluctuating speeds, ranging from 90mb/s to 7mb/s. I don't need extremely high speeds, but I do expect a consistent connection, even if it's around 30mb/s. In my college Wireguard doesnt work.

Despite trying different servers and configurations, I haven't been able to achieve a stable connection. I'm extremely disappointed in the performance and would like to request a refund. Has anyone else experienced similar issues with Mullvad? Any advice on how to go about requesting a refund would be appreciated
