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.

  1. 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.
