Mullvad VPN

The original post: /r/mullvadvpn by /u/Pascal_Blaise on 2025-01-21 17:13:18.

Been using Mullvad for months - it's been so good. Yesterday I was using it and suddenly I couldn't load any site. So I clicked on disconnect on the Mullvad vpn app and I could load pages. Click on Connect on the Mullvad app the app connected fine - Win11 says I'm connected to the net but every page doesn't load and times out.

Disconnect on the Mullvad app and the net works reconnect and it stops. Haven't changed anything DNS etc. tried switching off DAITA and Multi hop - just a simple vpn connection but no go.

Going crazy trying to find out why this laptop which was working great on Mullvad now won't load sites using the vpn. My other laptop using Win11 and the same Mullvad id works great.

Tried uninstalling Mullvad and reinstalling latest. Tried different countries. Any ideas please?

my ISP (will not name, is a major US one) i noticed is throttling certain media activities. enabling DAITA completely eliminates the throttling. has anyone else noticed something like this?

The Mullvad VPN app isn't available on my computer so I need to manually set up wireguard. Would using the proxy in Mullvad browser be similar to changing the VPN server if the app was available?

In other words would it be sort of like quickly changing servers on Android? I know traffic from my system will always be the same but I'm not worried about that. Mainly changing location to avoid blocks and captchas on reddit, etc.

This is simply getting blocked in too many places. I'm having to compromise privacy rather than save it.

Need something that is simple, no weird browser authentication with your local client that constantly breaks (Nord) and accepts crypto.

Also needs a QR / export function for WireGuard so I can import it into certain (DNS) apps.

I have a phone (no sim) that's completely isolated, never been on the local network without a VPN. I'm getting locally targeted ads in an Instagram account that is equally isolated and I have no idea how, has anyone else experienced this?

I've been a Mullvadvpn customer for the last three years or so.

In the last half a year, I've noticed a steady but troubling drop in the quality of the connections. Slowdowns, websites not loading, Mullvad blocking the internet as it tries to reconnect, that sort of thing. The frequency of these events has increased from about once a week to once a day - slowly but surely.

I use Mullvad on my Mac, my Linux Desktop, and Android. These sorts of problems appear in all of them. I used to play games with VPN (those that allow it); today, I don't even bother and turn it off because I know I get dropped out of the game. Websites that use larger bandwidth (YouTube, other media streaming channels) are the biggest problem.

In all cases, as soon as I disconnect from VPN, I have no problem.

I used to have these issues with NordVPN back in the day, and that's why I switched. I think this issue is caused as the VPN gets more popular and servers get overloaded (yes, switching servers to a different area helps, though temporarily, and it's not a good solution because I can't have an IP address from a different timezone for long). I see Nullvad ads everywhere and think many people picked up the service. As a result, it has slowed down because users are overloading the servers or because more spammers use it - in which case websites (like Amazon among others in my example) block certain parts of the website altogether, where in the past, they didn't.

My question to long-term users of the service is if they see the same pattern. Any long-term solution that helped? I like Mullvard, but I think they are becoming the victim of their own success.

So the game is restricted in my country,what servers work for league?

I’m making the switch when my subscription from Nord expires next week. I love the anonymity of mullvad and looking forward to using it.

What are some cool things that mullvad is better than nord in?

I recently got a new Toyota with Android Auto. But I can't connect to it without disabling my VPN. I added the Toyota App to split tunneling, but it still won't work.

What else do I need to do?

Always been curious:

If the hardware is physically located in a different country (US), why can't they be compelled to keep logs?

I understand the company is in Switzerland and their laws say as much, but most companies, with little exception, have to follow the laws in the jurisdiction they're operating.

Seems like any country could compell them to save/store logs on those servers.

Furthermore, I'm certain intelligence companies could just tail the traffic in and out of those servers to see a little of what's going on.

I really don't care if they kept logs, it's still better than my ISP.

I'm currently on a certain VPN service for $15/month, but think it's overkill for my needs.

My only purpose with a VPN is to access certain AI models not available in my country. These models are entirely browser-based, so currently, I just do split tunneling to only include Firefox for the VPN and use Chrome without the VPN turned on.

I literally only need it for this purpose, both on PC (Windows 10) and mobile (Android).

I am based in Israel and have a Gigabit connection, but in practice averaging 800-900Mbps download on speedtest.net. With my current VPN provider, I am connecting to a UK server, and get on average 600-700Mbps download, so almost my full speed.

I specifically need to be able to connect to UK servers with very high speeds (at least 30-40% of my regular connection) since the ping to the US is too high for me, and other countries in Europe are blocked from the AI services I need access to.

I don't need streaming, port forwarding, or using the VPN anywhere else than a web browser app, both on my Windows PC and my Android smartphone.

I do need split tunneling so that the VPN only covers Firefox browser and nothing else on my PC and smartphone.

Will Mullvad cover that just as well for 5 pounds a month?

Verifying Mullvad with Tor Key

Hi, quick question, I’m down to the steps of verifying browser signature, got my own key, next step is to sign the Tor Browser Developers signing key using the command given.

Then it says you will see a long message with some revoked keys and in the end it shows the primary key fingerprint, Tor Browser Developers (Signing key)

It’s due to expire 2025-07-21.

Does this mean I need to update/make a new key manually through GnuPG or is there a way to automatically get it renewed? Will Tor and or Mullvad provide a new key? Does the Primary Key print change?

Will this effect the use of Mullvad browser?

Thank you,

Hi everyone, I’m looking at mullvad as a vpn.

Between the following options, which do you think is safest?

-Paying by credit card -PayPal -Purchasing a pre paid card on Amazon

I was going to send money via mail, but it is expensive to do so and can take weeks.

So I’m getting no Internet when I leave the house and I’m just on mobile any reason for this

I just tried the Mullvad browser. I was curious about this:

"Fingerprinting is an increasing threat against online privacy. The Mullvad Browser is, just like the Tor Browser, developed with the purpose and ambition for all its users to appear as one."

I went to https://amiunique.org/ and I was, indeed, unique. I couldn't find any settings that should be enabled (I just used the defaults). Are they lying, or does this just not work?
