Hello all,

i'm looking for your advice, maybe anyone has some helpful input on the following issues.

  • macOS Sequoia
  • iOS 18.3.1
  • Router Portforwarding is possible if needed

After i switched from Nord VPN to Mullvad i'm having some issues.

  1. Mullvad seems to block the entire Internet connection when it's disconnected, tried a lot, nothing works. Kill Switch is off. I want to be able to disconnect entirely from VPN to use Plex Server. Only when i uninstall Mullvad entirely and reboot my internet connection works without VPN.

  2. Plex Server doesn't work with Mullvad for me. Tried split tunneling. I don't know if that's even possible to use Mullvad with fully working Plex Media Server?

  3. on iOS i keep loosing VPN connection with Mullvad very often. It reconnects again and again. Annoying but not the worst of these issues.

I would love to use mullvad since i think its a great VPN from what i know about their philosophy but its really annoying when i compare it to Nord VPN at the moment.

My question:

Is any of these issues fixable? I didn't found a solution yet. Especially the always-on-kill-switch is something i would want to fix.

And are these issues in any way related to my new IPv4 Address i got from my ISP? I requested that, before that i had IPv6. I think now it's something called Dual-Stack.

Thanks for reading, i appreciate every helpful advice.
