An unofficial sub/community everything about Mullvad.

PS: Did you know the word "sub" is a perfectly reasonable name to refer to a community, it has no inherent connection to Reddit, since sub simply means below/under/secundary/inferior, which is pretty reasonable to interpret as "part of [instance]" thus community, hence sub. Thanks for my reading my rant.

Using Mullvad DNS service with another VPN (lemmy.zip)

Hi all,

I've opted to use another VPN provider due to costs, but I want to use Mullvad's DoH servers to take advantage of their blocklists (and reputation). I think this would make me stand out compared to users of the VPN, but blocking domains would improve my browsing experience and thwarts other non-browser stuff on my devices (OS telemetry and tracking, etc). Is this setting recommended as a matter of privacy/security?

Thanks in advance for any help and discussion.

For a PC there's not much options, ublock for browsers, hosts-based blocklist for global filtering, maybe pi-hole.

For a smartphone you have rethinkdns, personaldnsfilter and also Firefox with ublock
