Hello. I've been trying to run multiple tunnels off one pfsense server to assign devices to tunnels via firewall rules. However, it doesn't seem to be possible. I linke the post below. Has anything changed? This seems a limitation.

10.124.0.1 almost works as another gateway, but traffic barely gets through.

I’m doing research on which browser I should choose so I came with two, Mullvad vs Waterfox? Which one is better overall?

I can't believe it's been years and the app is still as barebones as always.

I want to select the actual good servers as favorites, there are massive difference in speed between servers on same city. I have to remember which ones are good, and if something happens I have to manually change to another?

Why can't we have favorites and a rule to only connect to them? It's so basic.

They could do it an in afternoon. We been asking for years.

2 mods removed my post yet still cant explain to me why mullvad is so slow.

so can anyone else explain to me why mullvad is so slow? on every server, on every device.

No multihop, No split tunneling, No Daita.

unfortunately for $5 you cant expect much more. used to be good but i guess they cant keep up with demand.

pretty sure one of the mods responded to me on a alt and i responded back that yes, it was indeed mullvad that was the issue kiddo, since without mullvad my network connection is 250-300mbps.

and with mullvad it struggles to get over 0.5-5 mbps up/down and thats insane lol. compared to what it was.

went from like 30mbps a year ago to 10mbps to now 7mbps and rarely any (mullvad)servers make it over 5

unfortunate. if anyone has any fixes pls lmk.

Is it normal to have a higher amount of "data sent" to "data received" in the "activity monitor" on a macbook? Ex. 5gb recevied to 18gb sent, 50gb received to 80gb sent, through the mullvad-daemon. Is this usual?

When I connect a mullvad and use f1tv-multiviewer, the VPN is detected and I can't play the video, but when I connect to mullvad using the mullvad extension in firefox, it plays without any problems. What is the difference? Also, is there a way or config to be able to watch it without any problems from the multiviewer?

OS:Manjaro

Hey everyone.

For a week now, Mullvad hasn't responded seamlessly like the past year and a half of usage. It literally just won't get through no matter what the server and/or country used.

Just wanted to know if I was the only one ?

My API version is 2025.2

Issue remained after updating my Macbook and I have problems with different routers in different countries (Germany and France)

Also tried rebooting in different places and no solution.

Many thanks for your feedback !

I have qBittorrent running on an Ubuntu 24.04 server VM and am having trouble with the virtual network interface that Mullvad uses. On startup I have a "wg0-mullvad" interface which I bind my qBittorrent instance to. I don't know the exact time but after no longer than a day of uptime, the virtual interface disappears and is replaced by "tun0". Running mullvad status returns "Connected to se-mma-ovpn-001 in Malmo, Sweden", and I still otherwise have internet. I can get the interface back by disconnecting and reconnecting Mullvad.

Is there anything I can do to fix this, besides running a cron job to reconnect it every 8 hours or so?

I am unfortunately at the end of my rope in regards to Mullvad's lack of inverse split tunneling and need to find an alternative that supports it. Does anyone know of a VPN provider with a similar philosophy to Mullvad that has such a feature?

Do you need to include the 16-digit account number, or just the 12 number/letter payment token?

And write the number of months that it's for?

it is really obvious to me how much I am tracked when I use apps on my iPhone. I don't know what is being blocked by the mullvad dns content blockers but it seems like not a lot of stuff that I would care about. would a custom dns server give me better results so I am less tracked between apps?

Hello,

I think due to the new regulations in Europe I have to specify the “wallet type” of the recipient when sending coins.

There is a difference between “self-custody wallets” and “exchanges”. In both cases, the recipient's “name” and “place of residence” must be specified; in the case of “Exchange”, the recipient's “Exchange” must also be specified.

In this case, I would send the coins directly from my exchange to the address of the Mullvad wallet

Is it better if I use an external wallet for payment?

Thanks in advance

That stack have been problematic for a month or two, had to swtich multiple mullvad servers until a video is playable. Today, YT just returned "IP blocked" regardless the server or the video.

Anyone else?

I'd like to buy mullvad vouchers but they seem to be a bit difficult to get here in switzerland (amazon doesn't ship to switzerland and some resellers that do offer them here ask for more than 100% upcharge). I did find one shop that sells "Mullvad VPN vouchers" at the regular ~30€ for 6 months but they say it's being shipped digitally, not physically.

Is this legit? Is it secure? How does this system work so that the reseller won't know the actual usage code? With physical vouchers if I understand correctly the code is protected physically from being read without damaging the voucher?

I've been googling for about an hour and can't seem to find an answer to this. I have adblock activated on Mullvad. Also using Adguard bit still no luck. Thank you

Hello

I have a 1Gbps internet and have been enjoying mullvad in a Chinese like country. (cant name the country)

But for the last few days, around a week, my speed with Mullvad has been so slow that it's slower than TOR browser and i have to wait few seconds for every site to load.

my current speed with mullvad is 1 to 4 Mbps.

I contacted Mullvad's support and after few suggestions they said "we can't do anything about it, it's because of restrictions on your country."

just asking here to see if anyone has any idea for making this better, i tried proton and it had a good speed but im not happy with few of it's options like i have to disable Permanent Killswitch before using split tunneling.

EDIT: i don't know what it is but setting MTU to 1280 then using shadowsocks made it work, i have faster connection than proton but still not as fast as it was a week ago. its still a win for me, thank you a lot.
