Mullvad VPN

The original post: /r/mullvadvpn by /u/Zestyclose_Ad3399 on 2025-04-23 09:01:47.

I have a question about public Mullvad DNS, not really a VPN issue but hopefully someone can double check if this is correct.

I am trying to reach the site dnsleaktest.com after I have set up (adblocking) Mullvad dns on my router, but this site is now unreachable. If I turn off WiFi on my phone the site works. Can you reach this site?

(I am using base.dns.mullvad.net servers)

I've been having issues connecting to a server with the windows app for the past hour. No matter which server I choose it won't connect and is stuck on blocking my connection. I've logged out and logged back in and now it's not even attempting to connect, does one or two cycles and cancels the attempt. Is anyone else experiencing this?

This add-on is fake and should be avoided.

Ever since the new Windows update today, it takes me around 15 minutes of jumping from server to server to finally connect with Mullvad. Before it would usually connect on the first (sometimes 2nd) attempt. Does anyone know what's causing it? I've tried reinstalling but doesn't help the situation.

Been using Mullvad for months now on my laptop and iPhone. For some reason it’s been just cycling and blocking my connection for the past hour now. I have 15 days left on the account.

Help?

Trying to test out mullvad and got the account number but for some reason cutting/pasting the number kept adding extra numbers. Couldnt even add it manually. This is on a Mac. I realized I had Nord still on so I turned it off... Then it worked. Weird.

Hi! I recently started using MullvadBrowser. The timezone is set to UTH by default. I know changing it could make tracking easier. But I need to have the local time to see the time I receive emails. I have read that if I go to about:config I can change the privacy.resistfingerprinting line. I did that and set it to false. But the time was always the same. I may need some help to set the local time to NY area? Any suggestions on how to do it? Thank you!!!!

Update: I thought I should try this without using Tor to connect to Mullvad.net. When I connect directly, it works just fine. The credit card option is enabled. Now what? I'd like to have an anonymous IP when creating an account and paying.

I'd like to pay for Mullvad with a gift debit card purchased with cash, but on the Mullvad website, the option to pay is Temporarily Unavailable (see photo below).

Could this be because I'm using Tor to connect and pay for Mullvad?

Could this be because I'm in a non-Western country?

Any help would be great. My old VPN has expired and I'm a bit stuck.

Thank you.

Mullvad was working just fine all week until yesterday, where it just keeps trying to connect (no matter the country selected) and it ends up failing. I have tried:

• Reinstalling
• Restarting the PC
• Force quitting with Task Manager and reopening
• Switching IPv6 on and off
• Switching back and forth between Wireguard and OpenVPN

yet none of them seem to work. I have had this happen before on and off but it usually fixes itself, but now in this case it isn't. I do have VMWare installed for virtual machine usage, but the VPN would work fine before with it installed. For clarification, I am from the US. Same thing happens when I try to connect to EU servers.

Edit: I just installed Mullvad on my laptop and it connected just fine without any issue. I don't know why I am now only having issues on my desktop, or whats causing it.

HEYA! I'm using my broher's Mullvad, it was actually going good until I started to having the problems in title and way too many stuff are banned in my country. I can't find a good free vpn either so I cant change. Any reasons why Mullvad acts like that?

I don't want to be in ireland, I don't want to be in germany or the UK. I want to mullvad in my own country. An EU country. I'd prefer not to connect to a site looking like a non-EU citizen. Make it a setting if possible. Thank you.

Some VPN services offers tools which blocks ads like proton VPN has, called Net Shield. Does mullvad has something similar or not?

Hello,

So I have an Asus router on which I have installed Merlin FW. I have also enabled IPv6 to bypass CGNAT. The problem I am facing is that when I check my IP, my v4 address shows as that of the Mullvad server, however my v6 address is the one which my ISP has assigned to my router.

So points to note:

1. ISP has assigned my an IPv6 from /56 subnet.

2. I am using it in Native mode over PPPoE

3. DHCP-PD is enabled and connected devices are assigned IPv6 addresses which can form connections over WAN.

4. Allowed IPs for the client config are: 0.0.0.0/0, ::0/0

5. Leaked IPv6 address is that of the router, not of the device being routed through the VPN tunnel.

Does anyone know where I am going wrong or how to fix this? Thanks.

If I buy VPN from mullvad, will I get a unique IP address for New York or will everyone who has mullvad set to New York have the same IP address?

Has anyone else managed to get this working?

I've tried following guides online but my status is stuck on "connecting".

I am opening DumaOS and going to Hybrid VPN and then VPN Setup and Advanced. I am then inputting my Mullvadvpn account number and password as "m".

However it doesn't connect. There is a configuration section where I can type or paste something in - but I'm not sure what, if anything?

Any help is appreciated,

Thanks.

I'd like to be able to seed my favorite linux iso. I can't do this effectively on mullvad right now - any plans for that to change?

I'm aware I could use protonVPN, but would prefer not to switch if something is in the pipeline.

Thanks !

I'm having a heck of a time using Mullvad in China. For the past few months the only locations that work for me are sao palo 201 and Seattle 407 and 408. i alternate between them as they work throughout the day. connection speed is generally pitiful, hit or miss. Annoying though, I wish Astrill was cheaper or else I'd go with them. Just wondering if anyone else lives in China and is facing the struggle. Same for multiple phones and computers.

Is anyone else experiencing weird issues with certain Dallas servers?

301-303 won't connect via VPN, nor do they respond to pings. The ping fails when connected to other VPN servers, or without VPN.

Their associated SOCKS5 will respond to pings when not connected to the VPN, but will not when connected via other VPN servers. The SOCKS5 also does not work, whether or not I am connected to VPN.

001-003 will respond to pings, but VPN doesn't connect.

I guess I'm trying to confirm if it's just an issue for me or whether it's something wider scale. It's frustrating, because I've been using the Dallas 301-303 SOCKS5 to get around sites that are blocking the VPN server I connect to.

UPDATE: No response from Mullvad directly, but I see that Dallas server 301-303 are now marked as down, so I guess they've at least acknowledged the issue.

I was searching up Mullvad, and I got his result: https://muiivad.com/ (do not follow), which uses i instead of l in the domain name. Watch out, and add to your uBO block list!

I didn't notice about the URL, but I had LibreJS running, and the website said it required JS and cookies, which didn't sound like a privacy focused website, and then I realised, so thankfully, I don't think anything bad happened.

I could not find this info already on the subreddit

I didn't find an official announcement of this, but I downloaded latest Android beta build from GitHub, noticed that it has no option to pay with Google, I can still use that option in the build that you download from Google Play. On the other hand this can be because the Mullvad app downloaded from a third party store, is not eligible to communicate with Google Play services to handle in app purchases, is this the case or are they going to remove it?
