so im trying to set up a homeserver. i have pihole running on the server with unbound so i can use it as a recursive dns. my household uses mullvad on the various clients that would be connecting to the server over lan only. if i set a custom dns in the client through mullvads app interface, will mullvad still hijack the dns?

Hey everyone,

I’m using Mullvad VPN on macOS, and I’m having an issue where my connection randomly disconnects and reconnects within about 5 seconds. While this isn’t a huge problem for regular browsing, it becomes a real issue during Zoom meetings or other real-time applications.

What I’ve Tried So Far:

• Checked logs, sent them to Mullvad support, but no solution.

• DAITA on/off – no difference.

• Quantum Resistance on/off – no difference.

• Multihop on/off – sometimes changing these settings makes the disconnects happen even more often.

• WireGuard obfuscation settings (Auto, Off, Shadowsocks, UDP) – nothing helped.

The disconnects happen constantly, no matter what I do. Sometimes it’s once an hour, sometimes more frequently, but it’s always there.

Is this something others are experiencing as well? If anyone has a fix or a workaround, I’d really appreciate your help!

Thanks!

Mullvad is great so far but has made my weather preview on the lock screen/home screen of my Google Pixel inaccurate and not auto refreshing — which, yes, means it's working! Hooray!

However this is the one thing that I want more lax permissions for. Yet I have no "Google Weather" app and can't find an obviously named system app that controls it so that I can split tunnel to let it do its thing.

Does anyone know which app to select? Or if there is a better way to do this? Thanks!

I have an upcoming China trip. Generally had to use Mullvad to access a few US based utility payment and bank sites that just won’t get through with my normal HK based esim.

Has anyone tried Mullvad while on a foreign esim in China? I know it’s having problems with the local wifi/sim connections but hoping to get clarity on whether access through a non china sim is usable.

Thanks

Hey there,

It seems like Los Angeles lost 6 of its Mullvad servers over the past couple of months, and apparently it wasn't really their fault.

But with that huge billboard campaign in LA since the start of the year, I have a feeling they’ve picked up quite a few customers in the area!

Do you think we can expect to see some new servers added anytime soon?

I'm on Windows 11 I tried both IPv4 and IPv6 and I've been using Toronto and Montreal servers. I used OpenVPN originally which worked for the first time but afterwards wouldn't be able to get past attempting to connect. I've looked for an answer for a few hours but nothings worked so far thanks in advance :-)

I'm encountering a weird issue with Version 25.4 on my Windows 11 laptop. I can download the .exe file and run it just fine. Clicking the Run Mullvad VPN checkbox at the end sends up a working dialog window and working VPN features as far as I can tell.

But I can't seem to find where the shortcut to just start the now-installed vpn on boot is? This basically means that every time I restart my computer, I have to reinstall the .exe just to get the option to open the VPN.

I've sent a ticket to support, but I just want to see if there is some wrinkle I'm missing. Has anyone else dealt with this?

UPnP

I use Qbit with Mullvad(I did bind them together). Now privacy- / Security wise, Should I uncheck the UPnP / NAT-PMP option in Qbit settings, or can I keep it checked and ignore it since Mullvad doesn't port forward anyway?

I've seen a lot of talk about how the internet restrictions get a lot tighter around the time of China's Two Sessions talks.

These ended yesterday but Mullvad is still yet to be back to it's former glory, I will give it til the end of the week but I feel as though this could be the end. Very Sad as mullvad has been incredibe to me these past 10 months.

Did a little testing. VPN Safety Dot slows down internet speeds. When not using VPN at all, I can get speeds around 350 mbps on Google TV. I get around 80-90 mbps using VPN and Safety Dot. Over 100 mbps not using Safety Dot with the VPN.

Have been trying to reach customer support for over two months now. No other means of communication other then email which they never reply to... last hope to get someone's attention here. I need help with two missing payments.

Such a shame, the product is great, the customer service is utter shambles.

Do you recommend using Mullvad's "Private DNS" on Android while using their VPN? I don't know if you remember but there are leaks of DNS on android and mullvad talked about it about a year ago. By using their DNS on "Private DNS" (android settings) while using the vpn too, will my ISP see my network traffic or will it all be encrypted and private? I need someone who knows a lot about this.

Hi all, first of all when I use a local file as a home page, on first launch it takes a long while to load - whereas it's almost instant on other browsers, is there any way to fix that?

Secondly, and I appreciate this is probably not recommended but I'm unable to set the new tab page to be the same as the home page (or local file I would like to use.) I have tried with autoconfig files, and whilst the browser can read some of the preferences I set to test the file was working, it doesn't seem able to read the code to set the new tab page reddit link to new tab instructions both version tested as I believe Mullvad Browser is using ESR. I expect that may harm the point of using this browser? Equally, I'm reluctant to install new tab extensions for the same reason.

Are there any easy fixes? Other than that, I'm enjoying the browser very much.

I want to buy Mullvad VPN, but I'm afraid that it might not work and I'd just lose $5. Does anybody know if Mullvad works in Iran?

Is there any way to successfully install it on Chrome OS? I couldn't find the solution anywhere myself.

I've noticed lately that the vpn isn't really making an attempt to block ads on my iphone anymore. Just wondering if anyone else is experiencing this or if I'm missing something, I made no changes on the app but suddenly I'm seeing EVERY ad on every site, app, you name it.

I am based in the UK so not sure if it is possible to purchase XMR. I wish to learn as people have stated it is easy and takes 5 minutes but I have zero experience.

Using maps app or one social media app, they are both pinpointing my exact location, or understanding that i'm in china, even if mullvad app is on.

Why? Isn't mullvad supposed to change my location for all apps?

Do those in China have a special config for the Windows version?

I'm able to use the app with no issue in my tablet and phone at default settings, but I've always had trouble making it work on the desktop. If I make it work once, the next day it won't work anymore and have installed and uninstalled it multiple times.

I've done the config for mullvad bridges and apisocks5 but it's almost always "API unreachable"

I know almost nothing on the technical side, I was only able to make the above configs with the guides in mullvad

On March 14, 2025, a root certificate used by Firefox will expire. Firefox 128 and lower will suffer significant issues related to

• configuration
• add-ons
• signed content
• DRM-protected media playback.

Is an update of Mullvad Browser scheduled to be released before then?

Wondering why I have two outbound IP addresses. Seen this on a bunch of devices. Same IPv4 in and out and then another IP4 linked to unknown location (eg, if I have Mullvad set to Dallas the second one is going somewhere in Europe).

On a new phone, I now have the same IPv4 in and out plus an IPv6 out which says Tzulo when I search it. So appears to also be Mullvad but not sure it's me.

Appreciate your help and insights! Thank you.

When I try to use split tunneling for a csgo it gives me an error which says I have no internet connection.

Meanwhile my friend who does the same, it works for him.

How can i resolve this?
