Mullvad VPN

The original post: /r/mullvadvpn by /u/FonkyTonk_Soulfire on 2025-02-26 14:18:21.

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

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?

on one hand i think the rules are in favor of the users privacy but on the other hand if someone caught torrenting they get fined, so it's confusing if a user's activity are private or not.

At my coreelec i am connected to vpn, i can confirm that the ip is correct but i see the 1.1.1.1 dns that i have set at connections settings. If i set it to auto is displaying the router ip so it is using the isp dns.

What can i do to work with mullvad dns only?

Hey I recently made the decision to buy mullvad since my isp got on my ass about pirating and I binded it once I start downloading does it automatically choose the best servers for me or is there a way to choose what server I want mullvad to use?

The original post: /r/mullvadvpn by /u/PabloEskimo_ on 2025-02-22 18:51:01.

I'm having an issue with Mullvad disconnecting for a few seconds then connecting again randomly throughout the day sometimes, several times an hour.

I've tried using my internet without the VPN on and get no drops so it's definitely VPN related. I've also tried reinstalling the program, which didn't help.

One theory was another app could be interfering with Mullvad. I keep Malwarebytes open but have checked the settings on there for any clashes and don't see a problem. Same with AdGuard.

On the Mullvad settings I have DAITA off, Multihop off, Enable IPv6 off, Tunnel Protocol Auto, Custom DNS server off, split tunnelling off and have the latest version installed.

Anyone who's had similar issues or can advise on a solution, would be hugely appreciated!

Thanks in advance.

Is there a way to use AdGuard DNS along with Mullvad VPN on iPhone at the same time? I have tried setting it up, and I understand why it's asking to set up the DNS as a VPN but it won't allow me to use both but just one at a time.

I want to port forward Plex and Minecraft on my Mac mini, but this isn't possible when I enable Mullvad. I tried using the VPN blacklist feature (split tunneling) on Plex and Minecraft, but it did not work.

I only want to use certain programs, such as iTerm and qBittorrent, behind a VPN. How do I whitelist these apps, so that I can port forward properly while running Mullvad on just those apps?

My speeds are dropping to about 30mbps on the regular lately. Not my connection, speeds with PIA are normal and recently have been playing around with my own VPS server and those are fine too. I checked w 2 friends and they noticed slow speeds tonight as well.

Is this where we are at with Mullvad now? How’s everyone else’s connection this Friday evening?

I've tried emailing them a few times the past several days but have yet to receive any response from the support staff. Anyone in the same boat?

VPN services like Mullvad, Proton, and similar providers often claim not to log any user data. However, recent developments, such as Apple removing Advanced Data Protection (ADP) for iCloud in the U.K. due to government pressure to create a backdoor for encrypted data, raise important concerns. This leads to a critical question: If the U.K. government were to demand user data from a VPN like Mullvad, and Mullvad responded by stating they don’t store any data (which is true), wouldn’t the U.K. then force them to either shut down their servers in the country or start logging user data? It seems contradictory for such VPN services to continue operating servers in countries with strict data retention laws.

Additionally, many countries prohibit torrenting, yet VPNs still provide users with the ability to torrent through their servers. If these activities are non-compliant with local laws, why don’t such countries simply shut down these servers?

Is there something I’m missing here?

Using Mullvad to get around my work DNS filters, 25.4 and Linux Mint.

I was using a localhosted python driven website (a gradio instance) and noticed it was extremely laggy. Then the program's console started complaining of lost HTTP sockets, and it just got worse.

Turns out two things...

1. The DAITA traffic is wild. For every request you make, you end up transmitting more and receiving more, but what looks to me like receiving more than you're sending. I get how it works now I think.
2. This absolutely seems to be saturating my local traffic as well. Maybe not in bandwidth, but along with low system ram availability enough to cause really hard to diagnose issues. I spent an embarassing amount of time removing and re-installing python packages, I now hate pip, only to figure out that my VPN software seems to have taken a nose dive.
3. This 95% went away with DIATA off, but I saw a couple of cases since that I think the Linux program is causing problems with local traffic when the system memory is occupied by pytorch.

Wild stuff. If it's bug, I hope they fix it soon. I think it may have gotten better with 2025.5. But I don't trust it right now.

Note: See link for attached images (too many for a reddit post).

Freedom of speech is not an isolated right. We hit the streets to highlight the rights we must fight for, not only to protect freedom of speech, but also our right to be free humans.

There is an ongoing intense debate about freedom of speech. Big tech companies claim they are fighting for freedom, while their business model is built on the opposite: control. Politicians talk about democracy, while they are mass monitoring their citizens.

What is missing from the debate is the fact that freedom of speech is not an isolated right. To protect freedom of speech we need to fight for other rights, and it all comes down to privacy. If we don’t have the right to our own thoughts and emotions, without authorities, big tech companies and data brokers mapping all our searches and all the sites we visit, and if we can’t explore our most personal ideas, and decide exactly when and with whom we want to share them – then all our other rights are at risk.

Even before you’re ready to express yourself – while you’re still trying to sort out what you think – big tech companies and data brokers are tracking your most personal thoughts. When you test your ideas on your closest friends – before you’re ready to share it to the world – authorities monitor you. This mass surveillance does not belong in democratic societies. 

That’s why we started 2025 with an outdoor campaign highlighting the rights we need to fight for, not only to protect freedom of speech, but to protect our right to be free humans.

I am noticing a significant decline in speed when utilizing servers in Europe tonight. Normally I float in the range of 500-700 Mbps down but tonight I can’t break 2 Mbps down on any server in Europe. It is only happening on European servers.

Is anyone else experiencing this issue?
