Mullvad VPN

I have been extensively researching VPN solutions that are getting ARM support out in their products. Looks like the BETA is out. I am not a customer yet, but was seriously considering it if I knew official support was coming soon.

I have two windows laptops (one is ARM) and an Android phone. Currently using Malwarebytes Privacy VPN but they don't have ARM support and they don't look to support it anytime soon. Using Cloudflare Warp+ as a stop gap, but it's an additional cost $5 a month, and not a "true" privacy focused VPN. Does it make sense to pay now with hopes official support is soon? My Malwarebytes subscription is up this winter and don't think I will renew with them.

Hey guys,

I've been using mullvad vpn on my windows 10 pc for a while now and for the last couple of days it hasn't opened on startup/ or it closes completely(I'm not sure which one). Is this a known problem with the last update?

I have the settings in the mullvad app and in windows on that it should start with my pc.

Every time I make a Twitter account while using Mullvad, the account gets banned for ban evasion. Sometimes the account lasts a few days, and other times it gets banned the same day it was made. It doesn’t matter what email provider or if I use a phone number. Does anyone have any advice on how I could get around this?

I have a question regarding usage across multiple devices. If I use the same account on two different devices, but each device has a different IP address (e.g., one is on Wi-Fi, and the other is on mobile data), will that cause any issues on mullvad side?

Thanks in advance

I'm a MullVad user from Türkiye. Especially after Türkiye's Dictator banned Discord i started to use MullVad for using it. But i realized something, when i activate MullVad VPN on mobile internet (Vodafone), i instantly disconnect from internet. When i searched it i found out Vodafone banned most known VPN and DNS services. You guys have a solution for this? I need help of you.

Hello.

At the moment I could get 2-year keys for Mullvad at a good price.

Does anyone know how many years you can book in advance?

Hello. I just recently purchased mullvad vpn and as soon as I activate it, i experience intermittent disconnection on my wifi. I am using ios devices and both are experiencing the same. Anyone experience this and know how to fix? Thanks

Hey guys,

Please don't bite my head off for being here or asking a dumb question. I'm not super tech savvy, I'm just looking for a more private internet connection.

When I moved from Google Chrome to FireFox I was able to import my bookmarks, passwords, history, and other data.

Now that I'm using Mullvad, can I import my data from FireFox?

I don't want to have to do things from scratch if I don't have to, y'know?

Hi there. I want to exclude some apps from using VPN so I turned on split tunneling. When selecting apps for split tunneling, only a few of the apps on my PC show up in the list, and on the bottom there is browsing option for other apps. However, I can't find apps that I downloaded from Microsoft store like spotify or whatsapp. Is there a way to solve this?

Hello everyone,

We are traveling to China next week (Beijing and Hainan island). How is everyone’s experience using Mullvad over there?

We have used other VPN’s before such as Ghost and Express, but they don’t seem to work or be reliable anymore. I have also heard Trillian is struggling, but never tried that one myself.

Thank you for your time and answers.

So I've recently got a new phone that has no ties to my really identity, installed GrapheneOS and Mullvad VPN, I pay for Mullvad through crypto, if I'm using the same account on my daily driver as the new phone, will that compromise my privacy and anonymity on the new device?

I'm installing a new OS and would like to turn on the killswitch/lockdown mode before connecting to the WiFi so no telemetry is sent outside of the VPN connection.

Just wondering what settings to use to minimize latency as much as possible

The original post: /r/mullvadvpn by /u/Fearless_Major_7456 on 2024-10-11 15:15:05.

I am on linux and this only happens while I am in vc on discord or on teamspeak and doesn't happen if I am not in vc. Whenever I am in vc I get disconnected and reconnected to the vpn every few minutes why?

The original post: /r/mullvadvpn by /u/Creepy_Commission230 on 2024-10-10 20:40:56.

... also other web sites and services stopped working when on it or latency is whacking out.

It's not that I try to make Telegram safer. I just prefer surfing with the VPN on and have Telegram as a desktop app running on stand by.

Workaround: Proxy Settings -> Disable Proxy

Hey,guys. I have been using Mullvad for some months and I love it. However many sites see that I am on a vpn and either don't load (the rare but existing case) or they ask me for 10 verifications that I am human (which sometimes just hang forever). Can anything be done in the settings? Or is this the price of freedom?

I live and work in Europe but I frequently travel and notice that there are quite a few sites that will block anything coming from a known VPN. One of the biggest issues is our company financial software which is a subscription service not done in-house. If I access it with Mullvad turned on from the train or a coffee shop it blocks it... but if I setup a wireguard tunnel and use that instead... same Mullvad servers just done through the Wireguard app, everything works fine.

Can someone explain how the VPNs communicate client vs wireguard that might be allowing wireguard to bypass filters looking for VPNs?

I've installed the latest Mullvad app apk through Downloader

At the login page it lets me put in my login code but there is no way of moving down to login. Quite infuriating and not prepared to buy a bluetooth mouse just to move down on one app.

Hey, I've been using mullvad for a few months and wondering if it's working properly.

When I secure my network it says everything is good and my ip address changes ect and mullvad website says I'm connected to the vpn. However I open Google Chrome and go to YouTube I'm still logged in, same for all websites like amazon ect so what's the point if they still know my accounts?

I currently have my Mullvad account on five devices but want to format my Windows PC and install a Linux Distro. Will this cause a problem with it being a sixth device or will I be fine? Thank you.

Hello,

I wanted to get your recommendations on VPNs for seeding at home (1Gbps fiber, symmetric).

Setup:

• qBittorrent docker with gluetun
• Strictly private trackers
• No DHT

Tried: Windscribe, Proton

Issues with them (wireguard, port forwarded, closest server-US):

• Windscribe: down (~50-60 MB/s), but slow seeding (~10 MB/s). Stable, however.
• Proton:
  • non-p2p server: fast down (~100 MB/s), fast up (50-60 MB/s), but is throttled after 2-3 hours.
  • p2p server:  slow seeding (~10 MB/s).

Requirements:

• Port forwarding
• Stable (~minimum 1TB/day uninterrupted upload traffic)
• Unthrottled/unlimited

I find it quite interesting how this information is pretty hard to find on internet. Thanks, everyone.

PS. Do not reply if it's about "Proton does not throttle"

Hey everyone! I put together a small tool to test VPN server latencies for Mullvad. Inspired by the deivshon/mulping project, I wanted to create a simple Windows app that's quick and easy to use. Maybe someone will find it useful.
