I get the idea in principle, DNS over HTTPS (I don't understand every detail, but at a super high level, I get it), but installing the profile doesn't actually change my DNS provider? Like, I installed the profile, but I still have my old DNS settings in the Network tab (I was using 1.1.1.1). I thought it was going to take over and use Mullvad's DNS settings. Can they provide the DNS over https, but using someone else's DNS?

Kind of confused.

For some reason, Mullvad no longer automatically launches on login when I use my non-admin profile in macOS Sequoia. Changing the "Launch app on startup" option doesn't do anything under my non-admin profile.

I tried going to the Mac's Login Items, but I'm unable to add Mullvad. I choose the application, I am NOT prompted for admin credentials, and Mullvad doesn't appear in the Login Items section. No errors appear.

Mullvad properly starts on login under my admin profile.

I tried reinstalling Mullvad, didn't help.

The Mullvad browser uses the the Open source code from Firefox, but now we now Firefox have this "Privacy Preserving Attribution" feature that tracks us.

Mullvad browser have this to?

Original Title: If someone pays with monero is it really anonymous since mullvad still knows that you have purchased it with monero so it breaks the anonymity since it is known that the transaction has occured and they know your ip?

Is it really anonymous if you pay with monero since they already see everything?

In Ubuntu 24, is it possible to choose only one or several specific apps to run through Mullvad? When using split tunnelling, the excluded apps are not working smoothly. It is as if Mullvad is still messing with these apps or with potential dependencies. So instead of Excluding specific apps I want to Target specific apps. Possible?

Hey everyone,

I'm encountering an issue with Mullvad’s Local Network Sharing feature and hoping someone here might have a solution or workaround.

The problem: I can access devices on the same subnet as my device (e.g., 192.168.1.X) just fine. However, I’m unable to reach devices on other VLANs/subnets (e.g., 192.168.12.X), even though Mullvad’s description suggests that the Local Network Sharing feature should allow this.

When I disable Mullvad, everything works as expected, and I can reach devices across subnets without any issues.

Has anyone else faced this issue? Is there an immediate solution or any workaround I could implement to make this work as intended?

Thanks in advance for any insights!

Currently I have

VPN settings

1. DNS blockers all turned on (ads,trackers etc) I turned these on manually is it ok ? Makes sense to I think ?
2. WireGuard port automatic?
3. WireGuard obfuscation automatic ?
4. Udp-over-tcp port automatic?
5. Quantum-resistant tunnel automatic?
6. WireGuard mtu default ?

API access

1. Direct on?
2. Mullvad bridges on?

Thanks

I am skeptical as to why Mullvad offers a free public DNS service. Usually companies do this for marketing research. But Mullvad is supposed to be a company that champions human privacy. So why would they offer free public DNS services?

Hi!

New Mullvad user here,

I was wondering if speeds I am getting are normal, my "daily" bandwith without VPN is around 1Gbps, while connecting to Mullvad server in my country via OpenVPN I get ≈20% of my ISP speed, changing the server anythwer in the world it stays around that mark of 20%. I did some research and tried variour configurations in the OVPN config file itself but nothing seems to work, I found a thread on an old forum which suggests that the router (I have the ISP included router and financially saving for a new one) might be too weak too handle the VPN, might it be the case?

Using Mullvad on my PC, not the router.

I wanted to get a vpn mainly for video streaming but also for gaming, i've heard that mullvad isn't the best for netflix and other stuff, should I just choose nordvpn?

The original post: /r/mullvadvpn by /u/West-External-3936 on 2024-09-25 05:11:04.

Does Mullvad have any plans on making an actual app for Mac that launches from the dock?

I am trying to get people to sign up, but they want an actual app and think the way it sits only in the top is weird.

For example, my girlfriend refuses to use it because it only pops up and instead uses Proton because she likes how the app sits on her Macbook Air screen.

I know others who hate the design too, and use Nord instead.

How hard would it be to make an actual mac app that sits in the dock?

There are a lot of people out there who think form is as important as function, which is often why they buy Apple products.

The way this is set up seems lazy and not designed for mainstream use.

In Mac's activity monitor under network tab, both vpn and torrent client receives data transmission. Just wanna make sure I am not leaking. Thanks

Even if you have encrypted your traffic with a VPN, advanced traffic analysis is a growing threat against your privacy. Therefore, we have developed DAITA – a feature that’s now supported on iOS.

Our VPN app on all desktop platforms already supports DAITA. We have now extended this support to iOS with the release of version 2024.7.

How to Enable

1. Open the app on your iOS device.
2. Navigate to Settings → VPN settings → DAITA.
3. Ensure the setting is switched to On.
4. If DAITA isn’t available on your current location you need go to the Switch location view and select a location that supports DAITA.

Once the VPN connection is established, you’ll notice “using DAITA” next to the server name on the main view of the app, confirming your connection.

For now, DAITA is only available on select servers in Amsterdam, London, Los Angeles and New York, but you can use Multihop to enter through a DAITA-supported server and exit through any location you want.

I first started using MullVAD on August 19th, 2024, just for fun to test it out and see how it worked. I really liked it tbh, love the complete anonymity of how things work. After signing up and installing it, I've been using it like 80% of the time. I'm a blogger and like to test things and tell people about them, which was the purpose here.

August 29th I first received the "We suspect automated behavior on your account" message on Facebook.

I use some AI tools (Albato, Zapier, IFTTT, boost.space, etc) for testing and fun stuff as well. Once getting thatr message though, I removed all of them from Meta/FB. Everything deleted and permissions removed. Don't want to break the rules - I actually use FB quite a lot, and not even for conspiracy theories or memes :Þ

Tonight though, September 23, 2024, I got the message again.

Nothing of significance has changed, other than MullVAD. The only thing that's happened between then and now is I picked up the new Google Pixel 9 Pro XL phone. Logically it seems like the VPN is what's wrong :/ I would not be surprised in the slightest to learn that someone had been using a VPN to harvest data (or whatever they were doing) and breaking terms of service while doing it, especially without KYC.

I've removed MullVAD and won't be using it anymore. I've also removed the FB app from the new phone, just in case.

Making this post just in case someone were to search for these terms while having similar issues. Maybe it's not the VPN. I do think it is, though. Guess I'll find out one way or another haha

Mmk so I'm wondering how I put my mullvad vpn into my router my router model is RAX50-100NAS I can see that it accepts open vpn I just don't know how to use it or put it onto my router. I've been looking for videos and couldn't find any. Any help would greatly be appreciated.

Hi

Before I start, I know that Minecraft Java edition has been marked as unsupported, however the issue could be something else.

So my friend started hosting a Minecraft server for our group to play on. He uses Radmin to allow us to connect. I am however unable to connect to the server without disabling my VPN completely. I've tried split tunneling CurseForge, Radmin and all the processes that Minecraft has running, but no matter what I do, it still keeps giving me the following:

"Failed to log in: The authentication servers are currently not reachable, Please try again."

And on his side, the following:

"com.mojang.authlib.GameProfile@2c815565[id=,name=MinecraftUsername,properties={},legacy=false] (/My_Radmin_VPN_Address) lost connection: Disconnected"

This seems to only happen to this server specifically. If I try to connect to any other public server, there are no issues

Did something happen? Hong Kong 302 used to be the best thing. Do settings need to be tweaked now? What happened? How are you setting this up to be reliable now in China?

Hi all. I have this weird problem where some apps (like Insta) do not load at all when the VPN is on and using mobile data, but when I connect to wifi it works just fine. Anyone encountered this before? iPhone, iOS 18.

Repost from a couple days ago with some additional info.

I got a new M3 Macbook and added it as a device and all browsers work for about 5 minutes after installing the Mullvad app and connecting to a server and then every page stops loading. I've tried a bunch of servers, enabled IPv6 and tried WireGuard and OpenVPN settings, uninstalled and reinstalled the app and Firefox multiple times, and tried using a Mullvad config in the WireGuard app, and nothing is working. New: I’ve tried servers in a lot of different countries and they’re also not working. Also, I have lockdown mode disabled but when I disconnect or disconnect and quit Mullvad, my browser still doesn’t connect until I uninstall Mullvad and restart my computer. But when I downloaded torrents while my browser was able to connect, they were still downloading in qbittorrent after the browser stopped working.

Because mullvad.net won’t load on my phone while on my wifi I am wondering if my ISP is blocking Mullvad but l've never had an issue before. I would love help, I don't know much about this at all and I'm just going off of other threads in this sub but all of them have had fixes that don't work for me. Thanks.

The original post: /r/mullvadvpn by /u/Alarming-Disaster265 on 2024-09-22 14:19:59.

1. The Android app takes almost 10 seconds to connect to a server. It was instantaneous before the update. WIFI, data networks, they all take almost 10 seconds to connect.

2. The Mullvad site says I'm connected, but the three leak checks don't work. The 'Checking VPN' just sits there.

Does anyone else see these issues?
