Suppose my Linux host already connected to some mullvad vpn server with the official gui app.

Now, it should be able to use some hostname e.g. fk-xyz-wg-socks5-001.relays.mullvad.net:1080 as a socks5 proxy.

But in proxychains you can only use numeric ip. So you can nslookup the above hostname and get something like 10.124.0.x or 10.124.1.x.

Now, suppose I put many of these ip into the proxylist

10.124.0.1

10.124.0.2

...

10.124.0.x

As long as the chain length is 1, the proxychains work fine (which is obvious). But when the length up to 2, it said "socket error or timeout".

So basically I have 3 noob questions.

(1) Is it possible to make above works? How? What should I change?

(2) Am I having some misconceptions about how socks5 works? Can you correct me?

(3) If this actually work, what benefits you can get from it. Or it just totally wastes of time and harm other normal users bandwidth.

I am using 10..1.1.X to 10.1.7.x for my internal network. Mullvad is also using a 10.x.xx network but there is no conflict. I am using Opnsense as my router at 10.1.1.2 and have Unbound as my DNS server.

With Mullvad active it does not query my local DNS server at 10.1.1.2 as expected but I am then unable to resolve my internal devices. If I go into the Mulvad settings and add 10.1.1.2 as a DNS server the leak test is failing because it is then forwarding to Cloudflared.

How can I still use a local DNS server for my network but have everything else go through Mulvad?

Mullvad has been working great for me, but unfortunately its just stopped working all together for some reason.

I've got my desktop connected to my internet via range extender, which caused a few DNS issues for me (before downloading mullvad) which was remedied by restarting my main router.

Anyway, I've connected it up to qBittorent and every time I connect there is a 90% chance that the internet will drop (rather than it saying I have no internet, it just keeps loading and times out).

I've reinstalled and have had a basic mess around with the settings but can't get it to work for the life of me. Any help would be greatly appreciated

I just grabbed it for a month to try, but there's serious speed issues I'm having trouble fixing. With other VPn providers I've used, connection speed isn't an issue. I tried following the guide at the mullvad site and set it to Wireguard, using a local server, changed wireguard port, set MTU, made sure multihop was off, made sure obfuscation was off. I'm still getting 900kBps speeds. My line is synchronous gigabit, and I'm running pfsense on a server with plenty or processing power dedicated. I usually hit full line speed. Using other VPN services, I am able to hit about 70-80% of line speed. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Tried on all three of my devices, same issue. After I enter my CC information and try to click the Submit button, there is a red circle with a line through it and the submit option is grayed out.

How can I get my payment through? Do they not accept Amex or something?

so it used to work fine and was easy to create, but recently, every wiregard config file I create with mullivad and import into my VPN Fusion area on my Asus router causes me to lose internet on my network.

It didnt used to happen, but now, every time I create a config file, it happens.

I've tried a couple different server locations, but it doesnt seem to matter

has something changed in how these config files gets compiled?

anyone else had luck recently creating a working wiregard config file and importing it into Asus fusion?

thank you

I'm new to using Mullvad, please reply with a solution for each of these issues:

1)  The Mullvad PC interface (using Windows 10) was constantly freezing up. I frequently found the buttons unclickable, unless I restarted my computer.

2)  Up to 50% of the time, when I used Google, I was prompted to click a captcha with the warning "unusual network activity" (Secaucus, NJ vpn location).

3)  The site Reddit, blocked me, when using the New York, NY vpn location.  I was able to resolve the issue when I switched to another location, but I'm concerned that Mullvad is providing IP addresses that have already been red flagged for abusive activity.

4. The site Etsy, sent me emails warning of suspicious logins.  They disregarded my vpn IP location and instead used Mullvads listed ISP name as my location. Specifically, it said my location was "Datacenter (M247 Europe)".  I don't want my location to be seen as a datacenter.

Note: Please don't suggest changing my VPN location to outside the US, since I want the US to appear as my IP location.

Is this a threat to your VPN?

Can you give an official answer?

The original post: /r/mullvadvpn by /u/nonredditaccount on 2024-08-16 04:02:36.

Specifically, when I disconnect from Mullvad, my firewall blocks many of my open tabs since they are trying to traverse through the WireGuard tunnel. This is fine and expected!

However, I'm curious to know if Mullvad shares information about how they choose their IP ranges (i.e. 10.0.0.0/8) they use with the WireGuard protocol, if it is deterministic, and any general information so that I have a better understanding of what is going on within my system.

Thanks!

Running mullvad on my plex server (i do my downloads there too) it was working, people could connect fine yesterday. Today nothing is connecting and all services no longer work if the VPN is on. Any help would be greatly appreciated. I have split tunnel on and that is also not working

The original post: /r/mullvadvpn by /u/nonredditaccount on 2024-08-15 14:33:14.

On MacOs using Mullvad 2024.4, I have "Allow Local Sharing Enabled". A machine on VLAN 10 at IP 192.168.10.123 tries to connect to a machine on VLAN 20 at IP 192.168.20.123.

Running traceroute -I -v 192.168.20.123 I see that the interface used is utun4. Is that expected?

Some other context:

• Split tunneling is off
• DNS content tracking (ads, trackers, maleware) is on
• Kill switch is on
• WireGuard is on

I've tried to enable split tunneling for just Outlook due to it interfering with some work email connections. I added Outlook to the exlcusion list, but I have since noticed that Chrome will then NOT use the VPN. If I turn off split tunneling, Chrome will use the VPN.

How I do I make sure all y traffic goes through the VPN except Outlook?

So I was creating some Proton E-Mails. Every newly created Proton Mail is corresponded to a totally other IP-address from a totally other country than the other emails have. After some time I realised that Protonmail always recommended me to secure the account with a telephone number and they always already selected for me MY REAL COUNTRY (the one im really living in). Quick note: I typically use LibreWolf, so everything is deleted after I close the Browser. Aside I use multiple DNS Blockers and other anti-ad or tracking mechanics. Aside from Protonmail not really known for collecting/using that much of their users data, there isn't really something out there bound to me that should correspond to my multiple newly created email-identities. I've checked whether it has to do with Browser- or OS-language, but no... So I hopped on TOR and created another identity and this time they recommended me a "wrong" country as telephone option (so not my real country). So I thought: "oh ok... maybe protonmail somehow look over the single connection I have with Mullvad and therefore guess my right origin". So I activated Multihop via WireGuard and to my surprise: They were still correct with their guessing. What am I misunderstanding / doing wrong? What does TOR right, which I don't? Or is it just Protonmail secretly being the company with intentions we didn't know about... at first (i really doubt this, but i really want to know what is going on... maybe somebody can clear things up? I'd be happy to have a nice explanation)

Hi everyone,

I'm having some troubles with qBittorrent in Docker. I know Mullvad has killed port forwarding, but I'm not sure if that's the problem.

Thing is I'm able to download close to the maximum speed of my connection (1 gigabit through ethernet) but somehow I'm uploading at 50-80kb/s all the time and I'm not sure if this is because of Mullvad or it's just no one is leeching from me. I switched to a different server and still the same. Is there a way to check this? Could it be because of Mullvad not allowing port forwarding? If that's the case, shouldn't my download rates be very slow too?

Thank you!

Is it safe to change the default security level to "safer", or will that make it easier to fingerprint you? It says on their website that anything beyond the default security levels shouldn't be changed, but I just wanted to be sure. Sorry if this is a noobish question

Began with latest Mullvad VPN macOS app update.

Tried many different things but continue to experience Apple News not working when Mullvad VPN is enabled. Works when VPN is completely off. Toggling DNS filters doesn’t change anything.

Emailed support but never heard back for weeks.

Anyone else experiencing this or find a fix?

Was working the other day, but now I'm getting login failed with "api.mullvad.net is blocked, please check your firewall"

It looks like I can add 30 days through Apple Pay, but I don’t see a bitcoin option. Am I missing something?

Thanks for any tips.

… especially after dealing with my issues with YouTube recently.

I am interested in learning more about this, and how it will help me. For one thing, how is the browser compared to others like Firefox and chrome? I heard the connection is fast? How is it VPN compared to NordVPN, and even MalwareBytes VPN?

Does anyone noticed YouTube doesn't work well with VPN / blocklist recently? Any fix?

Hi,

is there a way to fetch the servers load/usage from an API ?

Thanks

Getting really good speed with overall better response time if WireGuard app is in use but Mullvad app will fall behind and also got improved battery with less impact on system.. . Ofc the Mullvad app comes with more advanced features but I do wish it becomes more "lighter" like the WG app...
