Pretty much what the title says. I’m on Windows and while I had qBittorent open, added a completely separate program to my split tunnel (my internet browser). Suddenly no data was being downloaded/uploaded anymore. Remove the browser from split tunnel, moved on with my day, until I got a letter from my ISP. Checked iknowwhatyoudownload and what do you know, my whole letterboxd is there.

Mullvad was binded to qbit as the allowed network interface in qbit settings, too. No idea how my IP leaked but just giving a heads up.

As in title, I'm unable to connect them when Mullvad is enabled. Is there any way to add 100.x.x.x or specific IP addresses to a white list so Mullvad won't tunnel them, and let it be done by others.

I see audit reports for Mullvad, but it seems none of them confirm that Mullvad is logless. Has this ever been audited?

Edit: As I said in a comment I've been using Mullvad for four years and it was just something I thought to check and found very little. Mullvad seems like a great company but I don't want to solely take their word for it. I'd like to see a definitive clear statement from an auditor on such an important topic. Have a good day everyone!

Can only seen to connect to a few servers worldwide, and speed is pretty slow.

Any idea if this will be fixed, my sub is ending this week

Thanks

Hi, new to mullvad, and I'm trying to find a way to open the GUI application on boot on linux (fedora). I know that I can schedule a cron job to connect using the terminal command, but I would like the tray icon to always display. Any help appreciated!

Hello Mullvad community,

I've been experiencing an issue with split tunneling on my system. For some reason, the split tunneling feature works perfectly with most of my applications, but it doesn't seem to work with Safari at all.

When I configure other apps to bypass the VPN tunnel, they connect directly to the internet as expected. However, when I add Safari to the split tunnel list, it still routes through the VPN connection instead of bypassing it.

Has anyone else encountered this issue? Is this a known limitation with Safari specifically? I've tried restarting the app, my computer, and even reinstalling Mullvad, but the problem persists.

My setup:

  • Mullvad version: 2025.03
  • OS: MacOS

Any help or insight would be greatly appreciated!

I recently changed from ExpressVPN to MullvadVPN, on both laptop and iPhone. Normally I use 3-4 GB of mobile data per month. This month, I used 15GB in less than three weeks, without any changes in my habits.

Has anyone else had this experience? Why does Mullvad use more mobile data? Any advice on how to reduce Mullvad's mobile data load?

Hi everyone,

When using Mullvad VPN, does traffic to localhost (127.0.0.1) or other loopback addresses route through the VPN, or does it remain local to the machine? Or do I need to manually whitelist these addresses? Thank you!

I understand tailscale and mullvad are supposed to work together on Android phones.

How can I achieve this as I can't see any options on either mullvad or tailscale app?

I currently have nordvpn but Android only lets you have one vpn turned on, either tailscale or Nord so this doesn't work.

Was hoping mullvad can fix this on Android but can't see an option?

Please advise if you managed to do it.

Thx

ps. Dear Admin = I'm unclear how this is FUD? Unless you can please advise how we can use anonymous mullvad accounts via tailscale? It seems they don't allow using existing anonymous accounts, so have to purchase via tailscale = disclosing full credit card and other details. If I'm wrong, happy to be corrected? thanks

This month, CPC meeting are held , China GFW has caused serious DNS pollution , even we can't connect VPN server

Now that's it , we can use DNScrypt resolve DNS pollution , but Mullvad VPN CLI not support spilt IP , so I think use nekoray run wireguard config

nekoray's TUN mode support bypass some IP and process , that's we can resolve DNS Pollution when we connect VPN server

What’s is going on with mullvad? Every time an update is pushed out on their servers, websites stop working. I cannot load any canon websites or even holiday websites like Tui on any uk server!

It’s pointless having mullvad at this rate. I might as well just switch the internet off.

I just tried to access canon.co.uk and got this error

You don't have permission to access "http://www.canon.co.uk/" on this server. Reference #18.d431502.1742457088.e7897d3

https://errors.edgesuite.net/18.d431502.1742457088.e7897d3

I switch off the vpn and it works fine. Website loads.

Tried to download firmware and UI for a obsbot webcam and every time I try the web page is broken and slow and their software download server won't let me through.

....don't believe me? Try visiting obsbot.com and attempt to download any of the software for any of their webcams and you'll see for yourself.

I had to disable mullvad and do all this without a tunnel and of course that was the issue.

I would like to ask if there is any way for iOS to use the OpenVPN bridge server like PC? I didn't find the guide for iOS on the Mullvad website.

The country I am currently traveling to is censoring the Internet, and the stability of Wireguard Shadowsocks and UDP over TCP confusion on iOS is far less than that of OpenVPN Bridge on my PC, and the network always has unexpected connection interruptions.

Hi everyone,

There has been a lot of discussion about Mullvad in China and what servers are working during and since the last dual session of the CPC. I thought it would be a good idea to compile a list of servers that have been working for users in China. This is my own list based on my own experience, but please feel free to provide any of your own.

Common Working

br-sao-wg-001 in Sao Paulo, Brazil (sao, br)

gb-mnc-wg-007 in Manchester, UK (mnc, gb)

se-sto-wg-009 in Stockholm, Sweden (sto, se)

se-sto-wg-209 in Stockholm, Sweden (sto, se)

us-lax-wg-101 in Los Angeles, CA, USA (lax, us)

us-lax-wg-102 in Los Angeles, CA, USA (lax, us)

us-lax-wg-407 in Los Angeles, CA, USA (lax, us)

us-lax-wg-408 in Los Angeles, CA, USA (lax, us)

us-sea-wg-404 in Seattle, WA, USA (sea, us)

us-sea-wg-405 in Seattle, WA, USA (sea, us)

I'm trying to set up mullvad on a "new" (windows 10) computer with a fresh windows install and having trouble with a pretty basic part of the setup. Under "network connections" my old computer shows mullvad and my wifi as the only active and if you check the status the wifi shows no internet access for ipv4 or ipv6. On the new computer it is still showing the wifi as having internet access in both ipv4 and ipv6 (edit: down to just ipv4 access now after reboot). I can't figure out how I did this originally and I'd love to recreate it because it sounds like it's forcing everything through mullvad more securely.

Another way I'm noticing the discrepancy... In settings->network status the old computer shows comp -> mullvad -> globe. New computer shows comp -> wifi -> globe. There is some simple setting I can't find, surely. But none of the set up guides are telling me how and I haven't been able to find it.

One other / probably same discrepancy. Under network and sharing center, old computer shows mullvad first in the list then wifi second, with wifi access type 'no internet access' and mullvad access type 'Internet'. New computer shows wifi first and both have access type internet. But it's not disabled or anything so I doubt I can just disable it on the new computer.

I swear there were setup guides on the mullvad site that I followed last time that aren't there anymore. Thanks for the help! I didn't use the VPN setting in windows settings for the old computer and I haven't tried it for the new one because it wasn't what I did last time clearly.

Did it get blacklisted? Some annoying ads started appearing on my Youtube. Ads are for UK. Can anybody confirm this?

I have been using mullvad on my home server with Emby installed and everything has worked locally for quite some time. Now, I'm trying to expose that same Emby server externally. I can see the traffic being routed through my router to my server appropriately via wireshark. I have Emby split-tunneled. I think this is true because I see it in the process list from mullvad split-tunnel list and the "Remote Access IP" is accurate to whatismyip.org.

If I turn mullvad off, the incoming TCP SYNs are ACKd correctly. When I turn mullvad on, the SYNs just sit there with no corresponding ACKs. I assume this is because it is trying to respond through the VPN and since it's not the same route it breaks? Either that, or there is some DNS issue. I use a pi-hole locally (it's running on that same server).

Anyone run into this or have any ideas? Is there a better way to go about it altogether?

Thanks in advance!!

So a couple days ago I turned on mullvad and connected to one of the Indonesian VPN servers and the windows weather/news tab at the bottom right of my screen has been stuck in Indonesian ever since regardless if I'm connected to an Indonesian server or if the VPN is even on at all. can anyone help?

The Stockholm server lags a lot of the time (I assume because it's the default for Sweden), so much so that I use the Gothenburg ones even though I live close to Stockholm.

Is there a way to add a server more in the middle of the country, maybe one close to Dalarna or above to spread out where people connect? Or maybe improve that specific server?
