Hello. I would like to know if is possible to activate split tunneling in the Mullvad VPN into the Gl.inet router. I configured the VPN but I cant find this option (and also the others you can see in the android app)

Traveling during business hours and I need to be in QuickBooks. Need security and considering Mullvad. But I also need newbie guidance please! Once I am on board, what do I do? Connect to Mullvad and then purchase inflight wifi? Any basic step by step guidance appreciated.

Hi!

I would like to watch movies/TV series . Last time I had mullvad sometimes it worked and sometimes it didn't, I often played with different settings that I don't really know what they did with different results. Is there any way at the moment that will guarantee that I will get through this block? It's very important to me

Hello all,

May have to bear with me as I've probably missed something here, but I cannot for the life of me connect via WireGuard.

I've downloaded and installed WireGuard to my Windows PC.

I already have the Mullvad app and can connect to OpenVPN servers without issue (bar finding a server that allows me to access both Reddit and YouTube).

When logging in to the Mullvad website, I have WireGuard keys already, one for each connected device (based on the same name, i.e., 'Big Panda', etc).

However, these already existing keys can't be amended, such as 'choose servers', 'enabled DNS blocker', etc.

Therefore, I have to create a new WireGuard key which allows me to select which options I want, and the download the .zip archive (which I can't with the existing WireGuard keys).

Once the archive is downloaded, I can import the tunnels ito WireGuard without issue. Choosing a server, I can activate a connection successfully.

However, I then cannot connect to any website/service/the internet.

I've tried forcing the Mullvad app to only connect to WireGuard servers, I've selected the specific server I've connected to in WireGuard so that it matches, but to no avail.

My feeling is that, because the WireGuard key I've used to import the tunnels is different to the one that's already created for my device is different, they're not a match between the WireGuard applicated/tunnels and the one used in the Mullvad app locally and it's causing it to fail.

I've checked the Mullvad site and streams of Reddit posts but I can't find any guidance, just the guides on the steps I've already taken.

Can anyone help?

I'm sick of Reddit being blocked and/or YouTube saying I'm a bot, then having to switch between various servers to get one to connect while breaking the other.

I started using Mullvad maybe a year and a half ago. It's the first VPN I've ever used and I don't know much about them. I'm decent with computers so I'm sure I could fix it if it's something on my end with some advice.

I've never had problems before though! Is Mullvad slow now, or is there something I should look into in my settings?

I was researching VPNs for a long time before choosing a company and my main factor was speed. Big companies Nord, Surfshark, etc... Mullvad was the last company I tried because they did not offer a refund for crypto purchases. I have 2Gbps FTTH and wanted to get as close to that as I could with the understanding of congestion, and protocol overhead.

Mullvad beat every provider I tried and offers great features. I really like that they are making privacy moves even before they are needed such as quantum protection and DAITA.

TLDR; I saved the best for last and it was Mullvad.

Only thing I would want to see in the future is being able to pay with additional coin types. Not everyone wants or needs to be exposed to a volatile coin market.

Was doing some research on the mullvad browser. It was made with tor and i've heard tor is easily hackable which made me nervous about using it.

Would be interested in hearing feedback from people that use it as a daily driver. Thanks!

(Using OpenVPN TCP 443 bridge: off) Randomly out of nowhere it spazzes out and keeps disconnecting and reconnecting. Last few days Germany servers (specifically Frankfurt) have been rather slow too. Whats going on? The site shows no problems with the servers I'm connecting to.

I subscribed to Mullvad for international travel to deal with geoblocking issues. However, in Japan, it couldn't bypass the ID verification lock on the Tinder app, and in Vietnam, it failed to get around the TikTok block. I also use Google to check hotel prices, but it keeps converting them to local currency, and Mullvad can't bypass that either. Is there anything Mullvad can actually do?

Suppose I live in a country with strict governance and limited freedom of expression, yet I still want to tweet about certain political topics. If I purchase a Mullvad VPN subscription using my personal credit card, set up the VPN, and create a ProtonMail account through this network, then use that email to open a Twitter account and start tweeting, could the government trace me if they tried?

Always had a GREAT TIME with Mullvad as it’s just the most trustful VPN.

That said, I have one question.

Maybe it’s not a big deal, or just the app refreshing.

iOS App I’ll be connected, green screen and everything fine. Though I’ll do some stuff on my phone, flip back to the app and it’ll show the red screen (disconnected) and then flip back to the green screen (connected) as if it were just the app refreshing.

I’ve been told by numerous people this is normal. Just wanted to clarify and ask before assuming.

Hey guys!

I've been using Mullvad VPN for several years. Never had a problem watching Youtube videos. But recently it stopped working. Now every video I try to watch only shows "Video unavailable" "The content isn't available." If I turn the VPN off, it works fine again.

Anybody else got this problem?

I’ve been a Mullvad user since the days it offered static port forwarding. Anyway, I’m in China on vacation and to my surprise DAITA works without fail, if but bit slow.

UDP-over-TCP also sometimes work if you want to try direct connections.

Cheers.

Yo! i live in argentina, wanted to use Mullvad for a bit, but i found that i couldnt log into my account from the application, tried going to the site, it refused to load, tried multiple devices, from different IPs and it resulted in the same thing, im currently living in Argentina, could it be that the VPN is blocked here ? Has anyone else experienced these issues ?

Had anyone else got this issue? My NAS which is always connected to Mullvad via OpenVPN and has been fine for ages suddenly can't connect... I have also test this by setting up a new VPN profile for the NAS in the network settings but neither the new profile nor the old one connect to Mullvad. Mullvad does work fine on desktop though so I am unsure as to what the actual issue is... has anyone else experienced anything similar?

Hi,

i'm using speedtest tracker on my synology to test speeds. I got an NVME in my synology, i got a 2.5GB ethernet on my synology, i got a 10GB internet connection. Without openvpn set up with mullvad i get 2400ms/sec download with my ISP using speedtest tracker. I set up openvpn with different countries, i tried berlin, paris and sweden and they all get max 340MB/sec. it looks like mullvad is capping my download speed. Does anyone have the same issue. now i don't mind to download at 350mb/sec but still i thought mullvad servers are 40gb VPN links. (like sweden and berlin if i'm not mistaken)

Anyone has any idea what i do wrong?

D.

I have two WireGuard peers set up and communicating as expected. This is for remote access to my homelab.

On one of the peers, I run the Mullvad VPN client for general day-to-day usage. When Mullvad is enabled, I can still access my homelab remotely via WireGuard, however, this traffic now goes through the Mullvad VPN tunnel, which slows down the speed significantly.

How would I allow the traffic destined for my WireGuard peer to bypass MullvadVPN? I have set up custom routes (to the public IP of my homelab as well as the WireGuard IP), but it does not appear to do anything.

Hello, before using Mullvad VPN, I was using the NetGuard app, which can block internet access for specific apps on Android by creating a VPN to localhost. However, when I use Mullvad VPN, this is no longer possible. Is there a way to block internet access for apps on Android while staying connected to Mullvad VPN?

I’d like more granular control of Mullvad so I want to download the config and run it with my existing WireGuard infrastructure. If I do this, I know that I lose the ability to easily have a kill switch, since MacOS makes this difficult and Mullvad client abstracts this away.

What other functionality is lost by not using the Mullvad client, besides the obvious convenience of a UI?

Which server do you all use that works with Imgur? Is wireguard or OpenVPN better to use? I'm currently on an OpenVPN server in NYC and constantly get "Imgur is temporarily over capacity. Please try again later." As soon as I disconnect Mullvad it works fine.
