Tried to fund account and card declined, tried again declined again. Tried different card, declined, tried again “too many attempts”. No flags and on my accounts, no fraud warnings and now I see the two original attempts both charged to the first card I tried. WTF.

I'm living in Sweden and have been using Mullvad for years. Recently, my connection has been poor. I have a 300 Mbps upload and download speed, but it drops to 20/30 Mbps when Mullvad is on. Switching servers hasn't helped. I'm using Wireguard with automatic settings. Why?

I've seen many others complaining likewise.

I understand the information is encrypted along the way but arrives obviously readable at the site. Has the google/yt/insta/Reddit began blocking all mullvad ips? Can you make a new account on reddit with a single server and just use that. Using mullvad has made those apps unusable for me, and i made sure to properly set up DNS and socks5 for mullvad. Help me to understand wise ones.

I have configured DoH on Windows and I would prefer to use that instead of the ones set by Mullvad VPN. Is this possible?

Using Mullvad in mainland China on windows 11 (and it works perfectly well). However, when using DAITA servers, my browsers (Librewolf and Edge) can not find the server of instagram. When I'm using non DAITA servers, everything is just fine. Anyone knows how to solve this problem?

As title. Is it most secure to use cloudflare 1.1.1.1 app on ios, or it should be better and more secure use mullvad profile dns with adblocking? Thanks for your help.

Hello and Happy New Year,

Is there any official announcement from Mullvad if there is a version of Mullvad Browser for iOS / iPadOS in the pipeline that could be installed in the EU?

I know that this is a frequent issue but I haven't seen anything here or anywhere else that is specific to the issue that I'm having. They all seem to be about persistent inability to connect even with reinstalls, etc.

I'm on Windows 11, and Mullvad works fine until my PC goes into lock mode. When resuming, I get the error and it's only fixed by reinstalling the Mullvad client, which has worked every time so far. At that point, it works until the next time I walk away from my PC for more than five minutes, then gets the error again. Any idea what's causing this?

I'm thinking to route all my traffic to Mullvad. However, when I tried it, the public IP being used showed me some shady stuff. From the iknowwhatyoudownload, showed me a lot of people are downloading you know what.

The question that I have is, is it really safe to route all the traffic to mullvad or any VPN providers?

I'm looking at this like going to legit sites like banks, online shopping, Netflix, etc. From these sites, they will see my source IP is from Mullvad's public IP that has records of shady activities.

I don't want to get flag because of other people's shady activities.

I can't use my ethernet connection without connecting to mullvad. I'm using the latest version. I'm not sure if this is a common issue so I wanted to check on here. Does anyone have a solution?

I have been gradually switching from paid streaming services to the torrenting options over the last 6 months. I'm currently going naked and afraid, and wanting to establish firmer standing by adding mullvad as a VPN, and setting my qbittorent up to match. I'd like to set all of that up to match on a new nas like the ugreen 4800 pro. So, will mullvad work for that type of situation?

Hi Mullvad community,

As large language models (LLMs) continue to advance, especially open-source ones like DeepSeek V3 (which rivals some of the best closed-source options), there’s a growing need for hosting solutions that prioritize user privacy. Many existing platforms fail to guarantee that requests aren’t logged, monitored, or intercepted.

Given Mullvad’s unwavering commitment to privacy and security, I wondered:

  1. Could Mullvad ever consider hosting open-source LLMs on a platform with true end-to-end encryption?
  2. Would this align with the interests of the privacy-conscious Mullvad community?

An offering like this could be transformative—providing powerful AI tools in a way that ensures complete confidentiality of user queries and responses. Imagine pairing cutting-edge AI with Mullvad’s philosophy: no tracking, no logging, and maximum security.

Does this sound like something that resonates with you? Would you find it valuable? I’d love to hear the community’s thoughts!

I'm in Illinois, so the nearest city to me is Chicago. I've been using it for years with no problems. Now it's refused to create a secure connection for months. I've resorted to connecting to Dallas TX or Atlanta GA instead. Does this mean my ISP has detected my VPN use and has blocked the Chicago connections?

Hello, I have a headless Mac mini which I usually access with a MacBook Air though either SSH or Screen sharing.

I have Mullvad running on both the Mac mini and the MacBook Air.

I turned on Mullvad's local network sharing, so when both computers are connected to my home wifi I can share the screen of my headless mini on my MacBook Air.

However, I can't manage to do the same when I'm not on the same wifi network. I tried split tunnelling the Screen sharing app on my Mac mini, but it didn't work.

Is there any way to achieve this?

Public networks around me seem to block every port except 443 and 80, and they also block UDP traffic (I've been trying to use wireguard over port 443, which mullvad offers)

Can I use mullvad vpn to get past the block?

I don't want to install a GUI app like viscosity or tunnelblick, and especially not the mullvad vpn app itself because it is so bloated.

Is there a nice cli-only solution?

Hello everyone,

I am trying to connect to Mullvard VPN from Russia using an iOS device. Simply using the Mullvard application doesn't work. It loads continuously and does not connect to the VPN. To solve this, I tried to follow the instructions to get the WireGuard app and connect using a generated WireGuard key. This time I was able to connect to the VPN, however, it seems like when I am connected, there is no internet connection and I am unable to load anything on my device.

Does anyone know what could be the issue and how to solve it?

Thank you :)

When a .deb or .rpm package for Mullvad is installed, or it's installed through flatpak, internet access is needed, and that is happening without Mullvad being on yet to keep what is happening private.

Is there some way to prepare a USB drive so that if a country you're currently in puts thorough effort into banning VPN downloads in the near future, you can use the USB to install Mullvad onto a new devices bought later on, without connecting to the internet? And then you'd connect to a bridge server with Mullvad or something (idk I'm still a noob at all this)

Asking since anything could happen to currently owned devices. You never know

My vpn is binded to my qTorrent. I accidentally turned off the VPN while torrenting. Will it cause any issues although it is binded? I'm just making sure. Thanks!

Greetings.

I've been using stock Mullvad Browser, initially without the VPN, and noticed something regarding CDN (specifically, map.fastly.net) usage. Using the Mullvad browser I notice that many websites, including reddit.com for example, call resources from *.map.fastly.net whereas the Tor Browser (that on which the Mullvad Browser is based) does not make these resource calls when browsing the same site. Mullvad browser loads many sites with *.map.fastly.net (as can be seen using uBlock Origin or Dev tools). I've also compared this behavior with a couple extra browsers: Firefox (128.5.0 ESR) also calls from map.fastly.net, while Palemoon, Brave, and a few others do not. Also note, the selection of DNS (e.g. 'protected' Mullvad DNS vs local DNS) does not change this - I tried.

What could be the cause of CDN resourcing (i.e. map.fastly.net) browsing the same site using Mullvad Browser vs Tor Browser?

I found on the Internet raccoonline project, which will release its dVPN product, how dVPN differs from your usual VPN ?

Is there a way to keep my mobile vpn on while my phone screen is off? My youtube music and videos keep pausing a few minutes after turning my screen off.
