Hi, I'm trying to set up split-tunneling for Minecraft in order to exclude it from going through the VPN. I have tried setting both java.exe and javaw.exe as exceptions in the split-tunneling, but it is still sending Minecraft through the VPN and so I can't connect to servers. I have also tried with normal java from oracle and with Adoptium which is an alternative to Oracle's Java. No luck

I'm experiencing issues when using servers located in the EU. I've tested servers in Sweden, Germany, and the Netherlands. Some pages don't load at all, and even this page Intel Driver Support Assistant says "Access Denied." Additionally, some other pages like Copilot show the error message: This page contains the following errors:

Has anyone else encountered this issue? I'm trying to determine if this is just me or if there's something wrong with Mullvad.

Thanks in advance for your help!

Hi all, in need of some assistance.

My school uses fortinet/fortiguard to block websites and software at my school. I believe also when you connect to the wifi you have to accept a certificate.

I use macos, and have tried everything under wireguard and openvpn settings suggested by people (and different dns servers) on reddit, and the most i’ll get is a connection to a server leaving me with no internet.

For clarification this is in no way for me to try and play games or watch videos on the schools wifi, I have a hotspot that would save me the trouble. This is just for me as an i.t. interested student to learn about network security and how the schools wifi works.

Hey! so I turned on my hotspot on my main iPhone then I connected my other iPhone to the hotspot & turned on my vpn on the phone that I connected to my hotspot & got this message when trying turning on the vpn

Your local network might be unsafe (the interface 'enO' has the IP and prefix '138.86.47.16/22'). Your data may be sent unencrypted over the local network. Enabling Kill Switch will block this traffic. Connections to local peripherals will be interrupted.

Does anyone have any info on what this means is someone spying on my data is my data being sent to another device? I’m confused

Could a malicious actor intercept and monitor my internet traffic in secret if they have my Mullvad account number? Not sure how it works.

Thanks

  1. I recently discovered how to disable DNS hijacking and use custom DNS directly with Wireguard. And my doubt would be if doing this which side of the tunnel do those DNS requests happen on?

its it:ME --> Mullvad --> DNS, meaning that my ISP can't see my DNS requests?

Or is it:

ME --> DNS --> Mullvad, meaning that my ISP CAN see my unencrypted DNS requests?

and the second

  1. if it is possible to activate DNS-over-HTTPS in wireguard or in the mullvad app itself using custom dns? How to?

Hi! Can you share your favorite server provider in the US? I'd love to hear your reasons behind your choice!

I've now had my Instagram account suspended and unsuspended (after submitting a video selfie and verifications) over 10 times. Starting to suspect if it's Meta having blocked those IPs which I connect to from time to time.

I recently purchased a Mullvad VPN subscription, expecting a stable and reliable connection. Unfortunately, my experience has been marred by wildly fluctuating speeds, ranging from 90mb/s to 7mb/s. I don't need extremely high speeds, but I do expect a consistent connection, even if it's around 30mb/s. In my college Wireguard doesnt work.

Despite trying different servers and configurations, I haven't been able to achieve a stable connection. I'm extremely disappointed in the performance and would like to request a refund. Has anyone else experienced similar issues with Mullvad? Any advice on how to go about requesting a refund would be appreciated

I've been noticing thisf or the past few months: reddit especially though other sites as well, become really slow via the VPN during mornings EST.

Is it just me (though I've experienced this in multiple timezones. Am I doing something wrong?

Hi! This is not VPN related but I couldn't find another subreddit for this. I installed the browser according to this guide (https://(mullvad).net/en/help/install-mullvad-browser#linux) on my linux mint xfce. The repository method didn't work

   E: Unable to locate package mullvad-browser

So I used the file method and it works. It's just that when I run sudo apt update it returns the following

   Ign:2 https://repository.(mullvad).net/deb/stable wilma InRelease

   Err:6 https://repository.(mullvad).net/deb/stable wilma Release 
   404  Not Found [IP:45.149.104.1443]

   E: The repository 'https://repository.(mullvad).net/deb/stable wilma Release' does not have a Release file.
   N: Updating from such a repository can't be done securely, and is therefore disabled by default.

I deleted it and done it a second time and it's the same. I verified its signature according to this guide (https://(mullvad).net/en/help/verifying-mullvad-browser-signature) and it's alright.

My internet is working fine when not connected to it on my Mac, but when Mullvad is connected, the internet doesn't work. Seems to work if I have IPV6 enabled, what exactly is the difference between IPV4 and ipv6?

Also It works fine on my iPhone. Help?

Hello everyone,

As mentioned in the title, I'm having trouble connecting to my Mullvad account. I keep getting the error message "Please try again later," and I'm not sure what's causing it, but it's quite frustrating. I'm trying to log in to renew my subscription, but it just won't let me.

I've tried accessing my account on multiple devices (phone, Mac, and PC), but nothing seems to work. I've also attempted a few troubleshooting steps like disabling my DNS, using private browsing (both on phone and computer), disabling browser DNS, and even connecting via the Mullvad browser, but still no luck.

Has anyone else experienced this issue or know how to fix it? Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks in advance!

Maybe I'm just used to vanilla Firefox starting up in mere milliseconds, but it seems Mullvad's browser takes a couple seconds to get up and running? This some cost-of-privacy sort of thing or? Only thing I've changed since install was disabling "Always use private browsing mode"

Hi,

Sorry English is not my first language.

How come when i enable lockdown mode and i quit the app, mullvad can still block me from using internet while it's supposed to be turned off ? I'm interested in understanding the technical concept behind it.

Also is it normal that mullvad doesnt configure windows vpn settings or ask for firewall permission and yet still works just fine ?

Thank you.

Lately Google search brings captchas which are really annoying (around minimum 10)

YT asks to Sign in to view videos When Mullvad VPN is on. I am connected to German servers.

Without VPN, I have no issues.

Any chances to over come?

Hello,

I have to frequently access some websites from India (gov websites mostly) that are not accesible outside of India. I know mullvadvpn doesn't have any any servers in India so it won't be straightforward. Is there any work around. Like some sort of reverse proxy for vpn? I am new to VPNs so please excuse me If I don't make much sense.
