I have this issue when connected to Mullvad and I close my laptop. It inevitably crashes and reboots. Event Viewer reports a Event 41, Kernel-Power error and the last time I really dug into it, it had something to do with the network. This laptop has the Intel AX211 wifi and I've kept the driver up to date. The crash happens across versions of the driver.

I generally use WireGuard when connecting to the VPN and I have not tested to see if it's specific to that protocol. I will update this post if it happens when using ovpn.

Anyone else have this? Or know of a fix? TIA

Anyone else experiencing really slow speeds using Mullvad on your phone? I have no speed problems on my Mac or Windows computer. But on my iPhone I can barely load anything when Mullvad is enabled.

I recently got a new iPhone 16 for Christmas. And now mullvan will not connect at all. Nothing works. I deleted the app and redownload and a few other things and I don’t know what to do.

I have tested various Mullvad server regions and have noticed that one region's wireguard Mullvad servers are frequently blocked. What is a good workaround for this (besides using a different region)?

A separate DNS server (Pi-Hole) entered in the Mullvad app (Linux) does not work. Public DNS servers do work.

However, I had successfully used this setting in exactly this form before reinstalling my PI-Hole, what am I doing wrong?

“Share on local network” is activated, I have not changed anything in the Mullvad settings, and the IP address of the Pi-Hole is also correct. Any hints?

Hello!

I used TailScale before to access my devices remotely, but after getting Mullvad, it stopped working. After browsing this sub, I found out they don't play well together. Some people recommended using ZeroTier for that purpose instead, but I found out it didn't work for me even after enabling split tunneling and adding ZeroTier there.

any recommendations?

thanks in advance!!! :) and happy new year!

Hi all. Has anyone else noticed issues accessing iOS or Mac OSX google search in safari and chrome app browser when connecting to Mullvad UK servers?

First it was the recent YouTube bot sign in issue ( I never had a problem till last month on Mullvad UK owned servers). Now it’s google search and it won’t even load youtube.com. I get a server cannot be found error message (for both google searches and to load YouTube homepage).

I’ve tried German Mullvad owned servers and Mullvad rented Atlanta USA servers and I have no issues with access to both google search and YouTube.com (however the playing of YouTube videos are still blocked with the bot message on the German servers). I’ve not tried others servers

Tried to fund account and card declined, tried again declined again. Tried different card, declined, tried again “too many attempts”. No flags and on my accounts, no fraud warnings and now I see the two original attempts both charged to the first card I tried. WTF.

I'm living in Sweden and have been using Mullvad for years. Recently, my connection has been poor. I have a 300 Mbps upload and download speed, but it drops to 20/30 Mbps when Mullvad is on. Switching servers hasn't helped. I'm using Wireguard with automatic settings. Why?

I've seen many others complaining likewise.

I understand the information is encrypted along the way but arrives obviously readable at the site. Has the google/yt/insta/Reddit began blocking all mullvad ips? Can you make a new account on reddit with a single server and just use that. Using mullvad has made those apps unusable for me, and i made sure to properly set up DNS and socks5 for mullvad. Help me to understand wise ones.

I have configured DoH on Windows and I would prefer to use that instead of the ones set by Mullvad VPN. Is this possible?

Using Mullvad in mainland China on windows 11 (and it works perfectly well). However, when using DAITA servers, my browsers (Librewolf and Edge) can not find the server of instagram. When I'm using non DAITA servers, everything is just fine. Anyone knows how to solve this problem?

As title. Is it most secure to use cloudflare 1.1.1.1 app on ios, or it should be better and more secure use mullvad profile dns with adblocking? Thanks for your help.

Hello and Happy New Year,

Is there any official announcement from Mullvad if there is a version of Mullvad Browser for iOS / iPadOS in the pipeline that could be installed in the EU?

I know that this is a frequent issue but I haven't seen anything here or anywhere else that is specific to the issue that I'm having. They all seem to be about persistent inability to connect even with reinstalls, etc.

I'm on Windows 11, and Mullvad works fine until my PC goes into lock mode. When resuming, I get the error and it's only fixed by reinstalling the Mullvad client, which has worked every time so far. At that point, it works until the next time I walk away from my PC for more than five minutes, then gets the error again. Any idea what's causing this?

I'm thinking to route all my traffic to Mullvad. However, when I tried it, the public IP being used showed me some shady stuff. From the iknowwhatyoudownload, showed me a lot of people are downloading you know what.

The question that I have is, is it really safe to route all the traffic to mullvad or any VPN providers?

I'm looking at this like going to legit sites like banks, online shopping, Netflix, etc. From these sites, they will see my source IP is from Mullvad's public IP that has records of shady activities.

I don't want to get flag because of other people's shady activities.

I can't use my ethernet connection without connecting to mullvad. I'm using the latest version. I'm not sure if this is a common issue so I wanted to check on here. Does anyone have a solution?

I have been gradually switching from paid streaming services to the torrenting options over the last 6 months. I'm currently going naked and afraid, and wanting to establish firmer standing by adding mullvad as a VPN, and setting my qbittorent up to match. I'd like to set all of that up to match on a new nas like the ugreen 4800 pro. So, will mullvad work for that type of situation?

Hi Mullvad community,

As large language models (LLMs) continue to advance, especially open-source ones like DeepSeek V3 (which rivals some of the best closed-source options), there’s a growing need for hosting solutions that prioritize user privacy. Many existing platforms fail to guarantee that requests aren’t logged, monitored, or intercepted.

Given Mullvad’s unwavering commitment to privacy and security, I wondered:

  1. Could Mullvad ever consider hosting open-source LLMs on a platform with true end-to-end encryption?
  2. Would this align with the interests of the privacy-conscious Mullvad community?

An offering like this could be transformative—providing powerful AI tools in a way that ensures complete confidentiality of user queries and responses. Imagine pairing cutting-edge AI with Mullvad’s philosophy: no tracking, no logging, and maximum security.

Does this sound like something that resonates with you? Would you find it valuable? I’d love to hear the community’s thoughts!
