Quantum secure tunnels are taking upwards of 10 seconds to connect every time. I asked support and they told me there's nothing in the logs to indicate a problem, which suggests they brushed off my problem and aren't pursuing it further. Does anyone else have this problem? Standard (non-resistant connections) are as fast as always, so I could use that, but if there's a problem with their implementation I'd hope they're at least aware and looking into it. What is everyone else's experience?

straight to the rabbit hole:

1. Just like any other, they have "business" partnership and there is no idea about who these are?
2. Less servers in EU including home country Sweden than to say US. If you truly advocate privacy than this should change.
3. The audits are done under a "restrictive" selected choices given to auditors. And funny thing is these so called audits are paid unlike a more stringent independent and open access kind of audit. Can you really trust theese paid auditors? who knows.........
4. Never I have seen anything like a forum or AMA on reddit? engaging with users is important. only few social media handles which again limits the user interaction
5. No business info is actually public. Zilch! Nada! They wont talk about this part anywhere.
6. Iceland is known for liberty and privacy around the globe but Mullvad has zero servers there!! On the contrary the UK gets more love than even EU.
7. I'd never understand why they partenered with Tor team to introudce Mullvad Browser? Heres the confusion. Tor team actually makes it and Mullvad deploys it with their own VPN as an offering. If you rally wanna be transparent than this browser should not even hav gotten any VPN and remain neutrall right? Just a hardenened fox
8. they shockingly dont have DAITA featured servers in Sweden!! own nation is left out?? this step alone speaks about how business is more of a priority
9. and of course core source code of severs and DNS are closed ! ka boom!
10. forgot to add this and had to double check but Mullvad is one of the most prominent donors to Tor Project (good for them!!) and now the Tor team partnered with them to provide Mullvad browser!! this step is so wrong on so many levels. A sponsor got the contract from the developers they donate to?? again m not the one to judge but seems weird. . . ...

yea yea I am looking for my tin foil hat :D

I'm wondering if the ISP or browser could see and log the account number when I click "generate account number" on Mullvad's website.

Is it wise to use a free VPN when I first generate my Mullvad account number? Or should I generate the account number while using free wifi somewhere public? I'm curious whether everyone was concerned about this or not.

My system is Ubuntu 24 using openvpn 2.6.9.

Spent 10+ hours trying to find a solution. I follow Mullvad's instructions like like a bible.

I can only connect ONE time, then have to literally go through the entire installation process again. I really can't understand why it only connects one time. I do every step in the OpenVPN for Linux guide.

Why? and what is nohup and why can't it start withou nohup?

Hi,

Since Russian cards can't be used due to sanctions, how can I pay for a VPN? Unfortunately, crypto isn’t an option either, as most services require bank or card deposits.

Thanks

I just got mullvad to use in China and it’s very slow in loading websites, unable to run games and disconnects frequently. Is there anyway for me to fix this and is it usually this slow?

Hey all. Im using iOS and it seems like that even though the doh profile is enabled, I still receive ads. Have you guys the same issue? I can resolve that issue temporarily by enabling airplane mode but after ~15 minutes it’s still the same and the ads coming though.

My android devices started to keep getting the following looping error:

1. Preserve, attempt, establish with 127.0.0.1:1080
2. recv_socks_reply: TCP port read timeout expired. Operation now in progress (errno=115)
3. SIGUSR1[soft,socks-error] received, process restarting

Devices

• are Using OpenVPN with Shadowsocks.
• won't connect either through Mullvad app or Wireguard.

Any advice? Thank you.

Hello, for the last couple of days i've been having troubles connecting to Mullvad on any server / through any connection with the quantum resistant tunnel option enabled (on Andorid). The connection keeps being stuck in a never ending loading cycle. The only way of enabling the option seems to be by connecting with that disabled, and then enabling it again later, which seems to fix that. Is it a known issue?

I tried connecting to paris wireguard servers... and then via uk using socks5 proxy. They all let me load a page or two at first before becoming completely unapologetically blocked. Does not like any of the IP addresses I've tried. Ironically using free protonvpn to access the site now via browser extension. Did I make a mistake going back to mullvad?

I used mullvad vpn and session app at the same time on my ios. Whenever I send a request message to someone new on session, it takes decades for the messages to be delivered. However, when I turn the VPN off, session app works perfectly fine. I guess there might be something wrong with mullvad, do you guys have any suggestion on how to fix it?

I'm using Debian 12 on a Thinkpad, and I'm experiencing frequent disconnections with Mullvad. Since it works well on Windows 10, I don't believe it's a hardware issue, but I've encountered the same problem on Debian, Mint, and Ubuntu.

On Mint, Mullvad tries to reconnect, and it succeeds about 80% of the time without needing a full restart. However, on Debian, it simply drops the connection—Mullvad still shows as connected, and my computer still says it's on the network, but there's no traffic at all. When I hit the red restart button to resolve it, it just disconnects again within a minute. Anyone else faced a similar issue?

So I'm new in the OpenWRT and Mullvad communities, and basically I flashed my router with OpenWRT and install Wireguard on it and followed the Mullvad guide to set it up. I also used the appropriate DNS server which filters out explicit content. The thing is that some websites, even though they come under the adult category are not filtered and I would like to know if it is possible to block them as well as use Mullvad's own DNS server?

I looked up BanIP module on OpenWRT but I am not sure how it works on a Wireguard tunnel because it is currently not working. So if anybody has any idea how to block websites which are not blocked currently by Mullvad's own DNS blocklist, please help.

Hi, is it possible to route single requests over a specific mullvad relay?

In my case i want to make 10 requests from python via one relay and then 10 requests via a different relay. Possibly even asynchronous and without using the cli to connect. Basically like a proxy, if i am using these terms correctly?

I currently am using OPNSense and AdguardHome routed through Unbound DNS - DNS over TLS through 1.1.1.1 and 1.0.0.1. I am looking to spruce up my configuration.

I saw https://mullvad.net/en/help/dns-over-https-and-dns-over-tls and that Mullvad and OPNSense support Wireguard.

What is the recommended way to combine these services for my devices, with a good balance of speed and privacy? Should I use the Mullvad VPN app on my phone and at home, use a Mullvad DoH/DoT DNS server through Unbound, or use Mullvad Wireguard and route everything through there? Or something else.

Is that correct?

I have a GL MT1300 router. According to the GL website (and the onboard software) I should be able to simply enter my Mullvad account number, and it will do all the work so I can connect via WireGuard. However, it doesn't seem to be working like that for me.

I have tried both simply entering my Mullvad account number, but after a few minutes 'generating configuration' that returns an error "Add Failed"

I have also tried doing so manually, following instructions I found on another post, and pasting the config details (generated on the Mullvad website) directly in. But when I do that, I get the error "No parameter found."

So I'm not sure what to try next. I'm based in China, but Mullvad works here, so I'd hoped it would work on my GL router too. If anyone has any suggestions, I'd appreciate hearing what I've undoubtedly missed!

EDIT: As expected, yep, it was my stupidity. I assumed a 4 year old router would be as updated as it would ever be, but in fact, my firmware was about two years out of date! Updated that, used manual config files, and Mullvad connected straight away. Yay!
