Mullvad VPN

The original post: /r/mullvadvpn by /u/degengambler101 on 2025-02-18 15:29:13.

I'm wondering if it's possible to use the local network sharing option within mullvad to connect to a rdp outside of the lan. Basically I have mullvad on my phone and mullvad on my Windows desktop and I'm wondering if I can use that feature to connect via windows rdp? If so can someone explain how do I set this up? Thanks !

apart from my country's server (still makes sites be blocked for some reason), how would i find the fastest server?

So I know some sites block VPNs , is there a way around it without leaking your own IP address? One of the betting sites I use blocks VPNs for sure.

I have the block social media deactivated. Somehow only Facebook is blocked. X is fine.

Hi all,

I'm having this intermittent issue from time to time and for the life of me cannot sort it out. I'm using WireGuard tunnel on a Ubuntu 22.04 LTS machine with a custom script. This script refreshes the keys daily (via API): it deletes old interface key, then interface, then creates new interface with the new keys. So far so good, this setup has been working reliably for some years.

Starting roughly from the summer of last year I've started having the issue.

Sometimes (usually once per week, but it can happen multiple times per day) tunnel hangs. Like, there's no packets flowing, anything, pings just timeout (no destination unreachable stuff, just black hole). Restarting the same tunnel with wg-quick doesn't help as well, I have to refresh the keys via script again and then it works. Like a key gets banned for some reason? I'm also not visiting anything which can put me on the list, and also if this was the case I would expect Mullvad to block my account, not a single key.

It's certainly not a key limitation, because it's a dedicated account and I can see that script removes a key which was in use, so there's no overflow (when I log in to the account it always has 1/5 keys).

Have anyone also experience it?

Hey everyone,

I’m definitely not as tech-savvy as most people here, so I’d really appreciate simple explanations.

I just got Mullvad VPN on my Mac (running macOS 12.5), but after downloading it, I can’t find it anywhere. I think I need to install it a different way because of my macOS version, but everything I’ve read is really confusing.

Could someone give me a super simple, step-by-step guide on how to install it?

Thanks so much!

This is a crucial feature that many other Android TV VPN's have but the last time I checked it was missing from Mullvad.

Hello, sorry I tried searching on this topic.

I have used VPNs before that allowed me to directly connect to the VPN using macOS network settings. All you have to do is open Network Settings and input the server info and your login details and the native OS connects to the server for you.

This is my preferred method but I've found that some VPN services don't allow me to do it, like Proton. Perhaps there is a good reason not to use this that I don't know about. But at the moment my macOS version is too old to use the Mullvad app. I can look into using the alternatives like OpenVPN but I wanted to check on this option first. Does anyone have any info on this? I'd appreciate the help.

Hey, I just started using Mullvad VPN, and I’m running into some issues. Whenever I connect to a different country, my Discord disconnects like I have no internet, and it just keeps showing that refresh symbol. Also, when I search for something on Google, the results show up fine, but when I click on a link, Cloudflare blocks me. Not sure what’s going on—anyone know how to fix this?

when i use doh on mac via the .mobileconfig file, the anycast routing goes across a major ocean instead of just, going the shorter and faster route over land. i know it's faster because i tested the dns on both servers and anycast was picking a transcontinental route that was slower.

I've been using Mullvad for going on 4 years now, but I've also used Proton VPN. I recently switched back to Proton a few months ago after realizing that I had credits that I completely forgot about.

One thing that I've noticed is that Proton seems to struggle with maintaining a consistent connection while I am away from home and have it activated (over public Wi-Fi networks). I've seen it constantly try to reconnect. It's rare for me to experience that problem while using Mullvad.

I have also noticed that streaming videos can be a pain for me when using Proton. Whether at home, and streaming with Google TV boxes, or tablets, videos will stop quite a bit to buffer. And that's while trying to stream 720p. Again, I don't have this issue will Mullvad. My Internet is pretty fast, especially when I have VPN services turned off.

Before (2-3 months ago when I used it) the connection was almost instantly (1-2 seconds), but now, I have to wait for about 10-15 seconds, the internet cuts off in the middle, and then connects. I updated it to the latest version. Is it organic and how it should be or its on my PC?

How can I tunnel with SSH and WireGuard using Mullvad VPN because in the app you can do this with OpenVPN but there is no mention of WireGuard. How can I tunnel with SSH to a WireGuard server.

Hi. Yes, I know this is risky, you should always use up-to-date software and I will advise against anybody following my advise.

Hi all. I was wondering if someone can help me with teams multi split.

First I tried adding it into exception but it wouldn’t work. Also looking for the teams main location was tedious as it’s installed deep somewhere in users account.

Is there a for sure way to do this? Or I need to reinstall ?

Thank you.

I just updated and now the app wont work, I've restarted and redownloaded.

The original post: /r/mullvadvpn by /u/Beautiful_Bridge7919 on 2025-02-14 02:20:08.

I was getting annoyed having to manually update Mullvad all the time so I made a script that runs at startup and updates Mullvad if there's a newer version.

Here's the github: https://github.com/iankellyUW/Mullvad-Auto-Updater/tree/main

Let me know if you have any suggestions or try it out and it works / doesn't work

I updated to the latest, 2025.4 build and immediately got crashes below.

I luckily had the previous version, 2025.3 and that is working fine. Anyone else having this issue (did the usual, uninstall, restart, etc...)

Wondering if I can get an answer from support or someone else. I paid for a year subscription with BTC but subscription didn't renew. Not the first time - been using it for a while previously. Wrote to customer support 4 times since the beginning of Jan - no reply. Just want someone to look into it, please? Thanks

I want to share a Mullvad VPN connection from Linux (Ubuntu or PopOS) via wifi hotspot, but seems that it won't work for some reason. ProtonVPN has this guide (https://protonvpn.com/blog/share-vpn-connection/) where they say that it's possible to use hotspot via their App. Would it be somehow possible with Mullvad App too?
