Mullvad VPN

The original post: /r/mullvadvpn by /u/Scifihistory on 2025-03-01 21:10:00.

Under Mullvad's VPN settings on iOS, I have added my PiHole IP as my custom DNS (under Use custom DNS server.)

This kills my internet access on my phone.

What is odd, is that on my mac, I have configured the exact setting to include my PiHole IP and I have no issue accessing the web when Mullvad is engaged.

Why is my phone losing internet access, but not my mac?

Hello all,

i'm looking for your advice, maybe anyone has some helpful input on the following issues.

• macOS Sequoia
• iOS 18.3.1
• Router Portforwarding is possible if needed

After i switched from Nord VPN to Mullvad i'm having some issues.

1. Mullvad seems to block the entire Internet connection when it's disconnected, tried a lot, nothing works. Kill Switch is off. I want to be able to disconnect entirely from VPN to use Plex Server. Only when i uninstall Mullvad entirely and reboot my internet connection works without VPN.

2. Plex Server doesn't work with Mullvad for me. Tried split tunneling. I don't know if that's even possible to use Mullvad with fully working Plex Media Server?

3. on iOS i keep loosing VPN connection with Mullvad very often. It reconnects again and again. Annoying but not the worst of these issues.

I would love to use mullvad since i think its a great VPN from what i know about their philosophy but its really annoying when i compare it to Nord VPN at the moment.

My question:

Is any of these issues fixable? I didn't found a solution yet. Especially the always-on-kill-switch is something i would want to fix.

And are these issues in any way related to my new IPv4 Address i got from my ISP? I requested that, before that i had IPv6. I think now it's something called Dual-Stack.

Thanks for reading, i appreciate every helpful advice.

Hi, I grabbed the ip-address the mullvad website gives me for dns (dot) mullvad (dot) net, which at the time of writing is 194 (dot) 242 (dot) 2 (dot) 2.

If I put that ip-address into my pi-hole's custom DNS server (IPv4), it can't resolve any website names. I'm trying to use it to get the warning about DNS leaks away from the Mullvad browser extension, so currently I'm just using the comodo DNS pi-hole gives me.

Any help is appreciated!

Hi, does anyone experience the same? Have it as Adblocker on my Pixel private DNS, more or less became unusable, as multiple pages take 30 seconds and more to load.

Hello. Why does mullvad browser log out of all accounts when I close it? I'm tired of it. Which settings should I change so that this doesn't happen?

I am trying to do something similar to what tailscale + mullvad does, where I can be connected to my private network but also have mullvad for the 'public' traffic.

What I have attempted is to set a wireguard server (wg-easy with docker) on my homelab, and have that one connected with mullvad (normal install, allowing LAN access).

I can connect to the server always, but if mullvad is connected I can't connect to the internet or lan. Is there a way to achieve this that's simple?

Tailscale + mullvad gave me many headaches and some machines just refuse to see the mullvad exit nodes no matter what I try, so I wanted to test if it's possible to do this way.

A long time ago I used to use Google VPN when that was still a thing but the speeds sucked, and now I'm having the same issue with Mullvad. I love the total anonymity thing, but I also don't like sacrificing my latency in games like Fortnite or Helldivers 2 and needing to turn my VPN off everytime. I've also tried using Wire guard and switching my port, turning off quantum protection etc. It just ends up not connecting at all. I usually use the Texas servers as I'm based in the USA

Anyone know what’s wrong? I just bought mullvad because I use a vpn often to bypass school WiFi blockers and have been using hotspot shield which has been working perfectly but it’s ad riddled and annoying to use, so I decided to get mullvad since it’s half the price of premium hotspot shield, but it doesn’t work for bypassing school WiFi like hotspot shield did, any one know why? And is there a way I can setup mullvad to do it as I would rather use it, iPhone by the way

Hey everyone,

I’ve been using Mullvad VPN on my UDM Pro Max, and it works great. I recently set up a WireGuard Multihop configuration directly on my network (so all clients are routed through it).

However, I came across Mullvad’s 5-device limit, and I’m wondering:

• Does this limit apply when running the VPN at the router level (UDM)?
• If all my devices are behind the UDM, does Mullvad see them as a single client?
• Have you experienced any issues (performance, connection drops, bans)?

Would love to hear your thoughts if you’ve tried something similar.

Thanks!

I have an OPNsense firewall and I set up the "Road Warrior Setup", which worked fine for months. Today, it suddenly stopped. I didn't make any config changes or anything and my payment is good until mid April (I even logged in to confirm). Any idea what happened? There is no handshake in WireGuard but the server (de-fra-wg-004) shows green (so no issues).

I run Mullvad on my PC 24/7. I have a subscription to it so why not, I also do a lot of piracy on my Uni accomodation network so trying not to catch an internet suspension.

Lately have noticed that Twitter, Reddit and today Youtube will all time out. I usually use the London server since that's where I'm based but also noticed it on some Scotland servers.

Is this likely to be a temporary thing or is that it gone? This is really annoying and don't want to sacrifice ping or internet speed by having to connect to servers further and further away.

Does Mullvad "renew" servers and change IP addresses or does Youtube/Reddit/X clear banned IPs every now and again?

Thanks in advance!

I'm a computer student. Not computer illiterate, but also green as hell.

I want to create a batch file that lives on my desktop and opens the Mullvad browser to a specific website when I dblclk the .bat file.

Here's what I entered in the preliminary .txt file:

START mullvad https://www.npr.org/

• I changed the file extension to .bat, then dblclkd the file.
• A flash of the command line screen happened then immediately disappeared, and Mullvad did not open, nor did it open to the website I asked it to.
• When I substitute the word "google" instead of "mullvad" --when I dblclk the file, Windows gives a minor blue screen warning that "This app can't run on your PC"

Thanks in advance for any help or direction given

Kinda started sweating a little bit because I was torrenting and tried to login to a game account and it said "login from united states" despite the fact my IP address is from mullvad and I even double checked, this only happens on the Toronto servers

Hi guys,

I connected to a Slovak VPN server sk-bts-wg-001 on a Ubuntu device and immediately the same minute my Reddit account u/wooftyy was restricted until password reset and then suspended for spam/inauthentic activity/ban evasion.

Suspension email received at 18:51 https://imgur.com/a/WhUXr6D

Account history of Reddit at 19:31 https://prnt.sc/hYV5Ay2iJpZj

Proof it is Mullvad VPN IP - https://imgur.com/a/BpzOkiD & https://imgur.com/a/hKOD4LR

What the actual fuck am I supposed to do now? Knowing Reddit, I am either never getting my account back or it'll take me months. Is VPN on Reddit being prohibited? Am I literally being punished for trying to be safe?

My connection issues to European servers a few days ago have now become catastrophic failures. As of this evening I cannot connect to any Mullvad servers using my PC, rented or owned. The app will say “connecting” and an endlessly spinning circle will bounce around the map from server to server never connecting. Without Mullvad I have no internet connectivity issues so it is not hardware based.

I use Mullvad on my mobile device as well, no issues there. The PC and mobile device are both on the same WiFi network so it can’t be ISP-related.

Does anyone have any idea what’s happening here? I never had problems with this service until I decided to go with a 90-day sub. It’s been nothing but problems ever since.

I have access to the internet via duckduckgo.com and other random websites, but not youtube.com and google.com to name a couple.

Anyone know why this might be happening? Works fine without the VPN on.

I'm using Windows 11 on desktop. VPN icon is green and appears to be connected. But when I right or left click on the icon, nothing happens. It should display the pop up & allow me to disconnect (or change settings). But nothing happens. The same thing happens when I try to access the .exe file in Explorer.

I've been using VPN for over a yr & never had this problem.

Or vice versa? If so, how can this be achieved?
