Mullvad VPN

In general, would it be better to use Shadowsocks or UDP over TCP? Or which would be faster? And which is more secure? Thanks

Two different (Fedora 42) machines I've had to troubleshoot no internet, both times Mullvad's Lockdown Mode was enabled for some reason. I don't keep vpn on all the time so the application wasn't even loaded. I had to start it up and disable Lockdown Mode to get my internet connection back.

Hey team,

I've been facing a problem for the past few days where I have to solve a captcha verification every time I search for something using the Google search engine.

I know that Google is a nightmare for privacy, but sometimes its search results are more helpful than those from other engines. I've been using Google for a long time, so it feels comfortable for me. Additionally, the location-based search results from Google have been quite useful on multiple occasions.

Is there a solution to this problem? I’m aware that Mullvad has its own search engine, Mullvad Leta, which offers both Google and Brave search options. However, I still think having the actual Google search engine as a backup is a good choice.

Thanks for any help.

im sure someone else probably had this problem but i'm completely lost on what to do, please someone explain it to me like im 9 years old.

the vpn connects perfectly fine when i use openvpn but openvpn kinda sucks so i'd much rather use wireguard. but when i try connecting to wireguard it just sits there spinning forever and i've tried just about everything i found online to fix the issue, does anyone know what the problem could be?

Hi guys,

This has been an issue ever since the beginning. Whenever I disconnect Mullvad VPN, I completely lose my connectivity. This is despite the fact that I have disabled lockdown mode. Even completely quitting the app doesn't work.

I'm using the flatpak client on Nobara. Any help here?

Thanks!

I have tried multiple different ips and it always returns a valid query. my wireshark shows it sending a dns query to the garbage ip address but I get a response back. anyone can explain this? I am running wireguard app on windows 11.

I was successful in getting cloudflare 1.1.1.1 to work, but mullvad dns servers just time out.

I am trying to make a setup where when connected with my laptop to my LAN I have dns for my local devices, but when not on my LAN I also stil have secure dns through mullvad. I want the mullvad tunnel to work both on my LAN and when remote, but have it running on my laptop and not somewhere else on my LAN. I have found no way of doing this. I have found a few other posts on here where people were trying to do the same and nobody got it working. I believe the issue is that mullvad forces itself to be the primary system dns across all interfaces, even when using split tunnel or custom DNS.

Getting "403 error: the request could not be satisfied" whenever I try to access DeviantArt from any Mullvad server. Can connect just fine with VPN off.

Any advice?

fucking shit piece of shit

it seems I cannot run vpns with the mullvad app and the wireguard app at the same time. when I run both it breaks and I have to reboot my pc. after disconnecting one of the vpns it will hang and then both vpn apps will not connect/disconnect until a reboot. anyone else notice this? even with split tunnel and excluding local addresses it will not work properly.

I tried updating it and blocked my internet so I decided not to update it cuz I’m worried it happens again, is it really important to update it? Like should I try again or it doesn’t really matter?

Greetings, I’m not in tech by all means. This is on my Mac OS

As I understand the installation method is different with this update.

I install it, and open it back up and the vpn stills says “Update Available”

I’ve uninstalled the vpn completely, logged out and logged back on and tried installing about 10 times?!

Edit: actually no, but on mullvad.net they are listing 2025.5 as latest version.

Hi,

Sorry, if I'm posting to the wrong Subreddit. Installed Mullvad browser. Got bookmarks imported. All very well, but do I get it correct that Mullvad don't have built in password autofill?

Cheers

Ok so I searched for things online and most of stuff is probably crap boosted by nordVPN partnerships.

After few more research, I found mullvad that look to be one of the best vpn.

From what I understood : a vpn doesn’t change per se the location of a device but only offers an ip adress (most of the time ip shared) that allows users to do certains things (stream, game…)

So I’d need to change the location of my device on another country to a specific area (for my employer to see). I don’t need anything complicated or overkill - hence why i’m asking you what i need to do to :

• connect to a specific website and hide my current location to display another specific area (my home). Specific area is important - I live close to a big city but I don’t think it will be enough to use this « big-city » server
• it can last 30 minutes, I dont need it to be forever (meaning that i can do the process several times if needed) - my company needs me to login certain stuff (not files) on a specific website only using login/pw (from what I know)
• I’m on my personal Mac, it’s not a company mac. Same for iPhone - personal one. Can be done on iPhone aswell since it’s login/pw
• i don’t mind paying, I already bought some time on mullvad because i think the cause deserves it, if something else is more suited for my concern please let me know

I probably can use mullvad browser + openpvn/wireguard/mullvad vpn (tbh i don’t know the differences nor the settings that would be needed) so here I am

share me your wisdom thanks!

ps : no my employer is not open to discussion

I've recently been having a lot of issues where when connected to the vpn the dns lookup fails. anyone else having this problem?
