One of my 5 available Mullvad Wireguard Configurations is used solely for DNS. The DNS Configuration on my Router forwards requests in sequence, not parallel. I want to use this Mullvad Device for 4 connections to 4 different Mullvad Servers in a Failover Configuration. If one Mullvad Server i unreachable (checked with ping), another one becomes the primary route for DNS.

I have made it work at first! But after a few hours the Wireguard Connections goes down. I suppose this is part of Mullvads Automation securing users to only use 5 devices. My assumption is that even though DNS Requests are sequential and therefor always count as one device querying different servers, my failover configuration with ICMP Ping Requests can be and often is parallel. That probably gets those connections terminated.

My question is if anyone has tried anything like that? Or any other solution to my primary goal of having DNS Failover within VPN? I appreciate if a swedish mullvad would chip in here.

If I'd like to know if I was on VPN not not from say 9am to 10am today, is there a log in my system files to check that?

What am I missing? I live closer to Sweden than Netherlands and not only that but Mullvad is Swedish and on top of that DAITA is developed here in Sweden! Why is it missing server back home?

Hi, after installing Mullvad VPN on my Mac, the computer is now constantly convinced its storage is completely full, even though it isn't. Outside applications are also convinced of it, refusing to download anything, do software updates, or back up to Time Machine.

While I'm not positive Mullvad is responsible, the problem did begin when I downloaded Mullvad. Additionally, I have deleted the VPN and many websites still see me as living in its last proxy location.

Has anyone encountered this? Apple Support is totally stumped.

DAITA has stopped working for me suddenly.

What could be the problem?

I recently purcahseed an ASUS Zenbook 14 OLED (model UM3406HA). I typically run a VPN (Mullvad), and I've had issues with the system shutting down and not waking from sleep. After multiple restores of the system I think the culprit is the VPN. If I put the laptop to sleep with the VPN connected it shuts down and has to be restarted. If I disconnect the VPN prior to putting the device to sleep, it will wake normally. Does anyone know why this would happen or any fixes available?

First read more here: https://www.wireguard.com/known-limitations/

Let's just not argue over what is what about protocol. Let me be here extremely clear here,. OpenVPN is the "standard" both in a corporate settings and withstanding censorship worldwide. There is no single fact on this that can go against this statement no matter how advance you make WireGuard.

WireGuard only network is the most ridiculous decision Mullvad has taken and I am thinking they are in over their heads at this point. Breaking down the classic adage of "Don't fix what ain't broken." is utterly irresponsible.

OpenVPN is a battle tested protocol and it is way ahead powerful to provide more resistive connection with obfuscation.

Other thoughts about their decision: 1. Possibly trying to milk more money from customers as now all devices must adhere to one protocol reducing workload while users pay the same price, as OpenVPN is more supportive with routers and pretty much unbeatable compatibility. 2. They simply don't give a shi* about what anybody thinks at this point. 3. Don't give any attention to OpenVPN DCO. Zero! 4. Just plain old "greed" engulfed the core principle of fight against surveillance.

This is like giving user a middle finger in the best way possible. When you can't talk with technology, they just hollow words and when they actually talked with tech, they never needed such essays.

This also gave me a reminder when they removed port forwarding because of abuse when technically they could have partially allowed it to work without taking much hit and yes, it's still present with many others including smaller players.

Mullvad now seems like some VC's puppet. This is painful here to write but now I have seen enough.

Farewell dear friend. It was a good ride...!

So I have Mullvad installed on my Android TV. Since a couple of days I can't choose another country as a location. The moment I switch to the country drop-down list I'm unable to scroll down and choose any country. I've reinstalled it a couple of times, tried older versions also. I have now only Sweden as option, since it comes by default and I can only connect there. Did anyone else encounter this issue?

I'm trying to optimize my routing to the jp-tyo-wg-001 by going through us-dal-wg-402 then us-lax-wg-501 and then connecting to jp-tyo-wg-001. Is this even possible?

Im travelling to China in a few weeks and I saw that mullad is the best VPN for there and I was wondering if there is any data limit per month.

In the light of the recent news about Mullvad phasing out OpenVPN support soon, I have switched my pfSense to connect using WireGuard instead.

With OVPN I was able to use a DNS hostname as endpoint server, and add a local DNS record that contained all the OVPN server IP's. That way, if one of their servers was down, it would eventually connect to another server.

Can this be done with WG too? All their WG servers use different public keys. Or is there a better alternative than DNS resolution to achieve this?

I do not want to multi-hop. I just want to have a fallback option in case one of their servers go down.

So recently there were layoffs at Mozilla since Google is no longer allowed to pay them. If firefox were to no longer be able to be maintained would this mean the end of mullvad browser as well since its based on firefox?

The original post: /r/mullvadvpn by /u/Hefty_Slice_1551 on 2024-11-08 18:58:12.

Should I use the DNS content blockers or a custom DNS if I want to have absolutely no DNS leaks?

Thanks!

Hey all,

I’ve used Mullvad for about 2 years now and love it, but I’ve recently migrated to The Qubes OS on one of my devices. I was able to get Mullvad set up following their guide, but I was wondering whether there would be a way to get features such as quantum resistant tunnel and DAITA set up, since the set up on Qubes is through config files.

Thanks in advance!

Edit: I tried using the Mullvad app in the sys-firewall Qube, but now internet only works in said Qube, none of the connected ones :(

The original post: /r/mullvadvpn by /u/journey_clerk on 2024-11-08 13:08:27.

Is this the same as other VPN services or is it more of a problem with Mullvad? Has anybody recently used another VPN service and has an anecdotal comparison?

It seems to affected on many sites and with ordinary Google searches

Link: https[://]mullvad[.]net/en/blog/removing-openvpn-15th-january-2026

We are removing support for OpenVPN, it will be completely removed on 15th January 2026.

The process of removing OpenVPN from our app starts today and may be completed much earlier.

Why

We want to focus entirely on the WireGuard protocol, as we explained in detail back in 2017 (https[://]mullvad[.]net/blog/wireguard-future).

By moving to a single protocol, we will be able to focus our resources where they can make a difference.

How does this affect you?

If you make use of our Mullvad VPN app on any platform, it will not impact you at all. Note that OpenVPN support will be removed from both client- and server-side, meaning that even if you have an old app with OpenVPN support, it will not work after 15th January 2026.

If you are using a router or a third-party app that uses OpenVPN, we strongly advise you to start migrating to WireGuard. You have roughly one year to complete your migration. We have guides on how to use WireGuard in the help section of our website (https[://]mullvad[.]net/help?Protocol=wireguard).

The future

WireGuard is the Future (https[://]mullvad[.]net/blog/wireguard-future)

For the universal right to privacy.

Mullvad does not attempt to provide multihop functionality to Android.

Please let me know your thoughts on why they don't provide multi-hop functionality.

thank you.

dig returns no answer section for us-sea-wg-socks5-103.relays.mullvad.net

All other servers are fine though. Please kindly fix. Has been like this at least for months, if not since forever.

It's really frustrating when you can change servers it works sometimes mostly it doesn't beat version installed

So I recently run into an issue, were I am able to fully consume 2.5GB/s Bandwidth with a single WireGuard connection and thus trigger my providers DDoS-Filter. Even throttling it down to under 2GB/s trips it due to the load of UDP packages.

Did anybody else ever run into this issue? Likely this is probably some lag, causing a short spike and overloads the filter.

Hello there

I currently use NordVPN and I am considering migrating to Mullvad since supposedly it's better regarding privacy.

But I found out it has some issues. Mainly the ones related to Streaming videos.

It also doesn't have a Password Manager. So it means I would have to pay for Mullvad and a Password manager apart.

What are the advantages and disadvantages of Mullvad when compared to NordVPN?
