First thing I tried was updating Mullvad to the current version, but no dice. And then I tried all the following but nothing has worked so far:

  • First tried experimenting with various settings in Mullvad itself, like switching from Wireguard to OpenVPN, but nothing changed.
  • Checked if I could ping while VPN was on, and I could, so I tried changing to custom DNS (1.1.1.1), no effect
  • Uninstalled Mullvad, including .plist files found in ~/Library (i.e. net.mullvad.vpn.plist), hoping that if I reinstalled that it would perhaps ask to grant network permissions or something, but it didn't and connection still doesn't work.
  • Checked under System Settings -> Network and System Settings -> Privacy and Security -> Local Network but I didn't see Mullvad as an listed option anywhere for me to add.

I assume the issue has to do with the macbook update and that it's blocking mullvad from properly routing traffic. To be honest too, I have no idea about the nuances of how VPN's work, so I've just been googling like crazy and trying any solutions I find.

Anyone know what might be causing the issue and how I resolve it? And help/guidance is greatly appreciated.
