Mullvad VPN

I've been using userChrome and userContent themes for a while now with all the firefox forks I use. Does Mullvad have any dedicated ones that are good?

I've used the same firewall through xp, 7 and now 10. It lets me block ips, ip ranges, exes, dlls and is light-wieght, stand-alone and doesn't add a 'suite' of 'features'...it's just a firewall.

But, It doesn't let Wireguard work. I have to switch it to 'Allow Traffic' and Wireguard connects instantly. Haven't discovered any way to configure it that allows Wireguard to connect (and I know this firewall pretty well after all these years).

So I need a new one since Mullvad is sunsetting OpenVPN and Wireguard will be our only choice. A majority of firewalls out there use the Windows API (WFP filters) or just act as a 'front-end' to Windows Firewall. There are a few that 'roll their own' API and get away from dependence on Windows, but most of those have become bloated 'suites' of subscription services, not what i'm looking for.

Simplewall and TinyFirewall are both no longer maintained and I have no idea if they'll let Wireguard work.

Fort Firewall requires us to redirect DNS on Mullvad and Windows networking to localhost and admits Wireguard is 'iffy', if it works at all.

So what's my options? Anybody know a firewall that's not Windows that works for Wireguard?

I had an important question when updating the Mullvad VPN app does your IP address get leaked or does it automatically kill your network connection because I had that case I’m pretty sure all my applications wouldn’t respond to a network connection and I’m pretty sure Mullvad did that when updating but I’m not sure if anyone hasn’t answered that would be great thank you.

It just doesn't make sense to me why the GPG key would be there on the same page with a the update with a signature which is gonna obviously match...

I couldn't even validate the signature.

What's the logic...am I missing something?

thing is that mullvad is no longer just a vpn company and expansion in other products such as search (earlier this was only for paid users) and browser (defaults to mullvad search) has caused it become what they might not want to become! remember those ram only servers and cache only for temp period? well, a server is a server and it has to store files (dumb down version) and whether stored in ram or disks, the data remains alive. mullvad now has more of such user cached data with them and this could lead to more attack surfaces. not only a user (theory) can leave behind more traces with this combination but those who are not paid users, also gonna leave huge chunk of data (including default logs/downloads/pings/updates/installs) with mullvad.

mullvad is on a strange path here and not sure if this is the "way" for it!

Vodafone has banned Mullvad in Türkiye and I have to use Wireguard Obfuscation when I switch to mobile data. My problem is that no matter what mode/port I use, my connection drops and reconnects every 10/15 minutes. I tried many different servers but the result did not change. Do you have any suggestions?

I’m using Mulvad vpn which has ipv6 turned off by default, they also recommend leaving it off.

Does this mean that I should set qbitorrnt to not connect to IPv6 seeders?

Im not worried about speeds, I just don’t want to leak anything. Thanks

Hi, I need a little help with building the mullvad browser from source and since I don't want to pollute the gitlab issues in case it's just something easy to resolve / something stupid on my side.

I'm running an up to date arch linux and when trying build mullvadbrowser-release-linux-x86_64 with tor-browser-build, I run into the following Error

Building project mmdebstrap - mmdebstrap-src-1.4.0-f89def.tar.gz

Error: 1.4.0 is not a signed tag

make: \*\*\* [Makefile:449: mullvadbrowser-release-linux-x86\_64] Error 1

But since it is a dependency pulled from git I'm not sure how or where to change the dependency version. Additionally a quick look through the wiki open gitlab issues didn't yield anything helpful.

So please if anyone has advice

thanks a lot in advance

Post scriptum: I tried this for both release and nightly

Is multihop worth to use, cuz both servers are controlled by Mullvad, so if in theorie mullvad logs using multihop would not save much.

Hi, I have set up my router to handle my VPN via wireguard. Now I have had the same IP for 3 days. Is this by design?

Hello,

I'm unable to access my local network (10.212.46.0.0 range), despite enabling the "share local network" setting. I'm using latest version of mullvad on latest MacOS version.

I face this issue since a couple of months; prior to that, Mullvad was working flawlessly for years. No change was made in my network setup.

I'd greatly appreciate any pointer to troubleshoot this issue.

Some networks and sites block Mullvad VPN (or VPNs in general).

What are the best settings to avoid that?

I can't figure out how to start on windows mullvad browser. I read the guides, but I'm a bit long in tooth and missing something everyone else finds intuitive. Be kind please.

I have a couple questions about how the kill switch works when using Mullvad VPN, just to make sure I'm not accidentally leaking data. I'm aware that the way you're supposed to make qBitTorrent only ever use the VPN is by going to options->Advanced->Network Interface, and then selecting Mullvad. I've already done that. With that out of the way:

1. Is this supposed to only stop the torrents if Mullvad is totally shut off? I ask because through testing, if I click "disconnect" in the Mullvad interface, the Torrents don't seem to stop. Is there a way to set it so that they will? Also, what will happen when the prepaid time runs out? Will Mullvad simply "disconnect", allowing the Torrents to continue, or will it totally shut down?

2. If I share my PC with someone else who uses a different Windows account, will the VPN be active for them as well? Will the Torrents continue to run?

Will the Split tunneling get fixed on the macOS app anytime soon? I just realized for a day or so I had been exposing my real IP, not that I was doing anything crazy, but still shocking. I wanted to exclude some of the apps from the VPN connection so I had turned on the Split tunneling option, but I didn't know it was broken. Here's how it looks on the app.

Based on that image, you'd think the apps you want to exclude from the VPN connection should be added to the exclusion list by clicking the '+' button next to the apps, but here's the thing - nothing happens when you click the '+' button. You won't know if it's being excluded or included. So in my case, I apparently all my apps were in the 'Exclude from VPN' category. I read a few posts here that talked about this but there was no real solution to this. This seems to be a serious flaw. Anyone reached out to the mullvad team about this?

My setup:

Little snitch - Encrypted with NextDNS Mullvad VPN - obfuscation, Multihop, DAITA, Quantum resistant, Wireguard protocol, Lockdown mode on.

A little while ago my connection dropped out and I've been unable to connect back to any of the owned servers. A bunch of the rented ones seem to work fine.

yea mullvad is amazing but almost all servers flagged as bot. i use it all settings are default. when i communicate with support, they said you can take your money back using 14-day refund policy if you dont like service but i dont want my money back i want a better mullvad bc there is no alternatives for it. is anyone else suffering from this ?

Basically title. I self-host services on my LAN via *.home.arpa domains (which are reserved for local use), but I can't access/resolve them when connected to Mullvad (with local network sharing turned on). Is there any way I can still access my local domains while having the rest of my internet and DNS traffic going through Mullvad?

I have tried many VPNs. While there are no perfect VPNs based on my experience I would say that Mullvad VPN is consistently good.

Good consistent speeds, relatively low latency and easy connectivity.

Other VPNs had good speeds but not as consistent as Mullvad.

Overall, based on my experience I can say that Mullvad VPN is amongst the best out there.

And of course payment anonymity and zero tracking adds to the features. (A few others also have both these features).

Thank you Mullvad for such a good product.
