Mullvad VPN

I just spent a total of 10 hours over two days trying to get my iMac and Canon all-in-one to talk to each other. Everything worked but the scanner.

Turns out the scanner can't be 'seen' while I'm connected to a VPN--despite having local network sharing turned on. (I'm running v2024.7 of the Mullvad app.) When I disconnect, all is well.

Other than disconnecting when I need to scan something ( 🤦‍♂️ ) is there a way to tell Mullvad the scanner is cool?

Two years ago I set up a wireguard container to connect to mullvad. A few other containers (firefox and qbittorrent) use the wireguard container for their traffic.

This setup has been humming along until yesterday, when both qbittorrent and firefox stopped being able to connect to the internet anymore.

What should I check for? When I set this up I downloaded a wg0.conf from mullvad. It has some hardcoded keys and addresses. Do they change their keys or addresses periodically meaning that I need to update my wg0.conf?

Again, nothing changed in my configuration recently, mullvad just stopped accepting my traffic. I still have time on my mullvad account. Relevant part of my docker-compose.yml

On their servers list it seems too be 3rd party data centers even with owned servers.

Maybe there is more to it than that.

Thanks for all answers in advance!

Hi,

I am currently trying to run my Java service and PostgreSQL database containers locally on my laptop in China.

When Mullvad is disabled I can connect to them ok on localhost:5432 and localhost:8080.

When I enable Mullvad I cannot connect to those docker containers anymore.

How can I stop Mullvad from breaking localhost/loopback?

I recently installed the Mullvad VPN on my iPhone, and when I connect to the Albanian server, my location shows up as Portugal instead of Albania. Has anyone else experienced this issue?

Is this something specific to my setup, or could it be a bug with the iOS app?

The original post: /r/mullvadvpn by /u/floatingfree2020 on 2024-11-05 03:56:04.

I wasn't really satisfied with a previous VPN I got and was just wondering whether there's some way to receive a trail of Mullvad. Couldn't find it anywhere so decided to ask it there. Thank you.

This applies to the most and hardly any exception left. The moment a VPN company decides to become something "more" they would introduce new features, partnerships, adverts etc to please customers in whatever way they can... I mean this practice alone speaks more about them being just another company who keep pivoting into different roles over the time...

And to be fair, this also creates a data paradox for users as now as they get sold these "others" partnerships too and marketing skyrockets.

Talking about Mullvad. I remember back in the day, they all used to talk more about how inside of a VPN works and how they used to do this and that to stay ahead but after the pandemic, suddenly started different partnerships, spending ridiculous amounts of money on those huge advertisement banners, becoming more and recently the browser. Yes yes pros and cons sure but these never used to happen over before.

Things were simpler and focused towards VPN... I am old I guess. Sorry for that...

I don't live in the United States. If I buy the Mullvad voucher from the American Amazon website, will I be able to use it in my country?

The original post: /r/mullvadvpn by /u/net_dev_ops on 2024-11-04 09:11:04.

Been noticing a few "silent" failures of the macos version 2024.7, with the public IP fully exposed and no apparent Internet connectivity interruption (the killswitch and lockdown mode do not seem to have any effect), and entries like the sample below, from last failure, in the daemon log file:

[2024-11-04 08:40:46.760][talpid_routing::imp::imp::interface][DEBUG] Missing IP for primary interface (en0, V4) [2024-11-04 08:40:47.586][talpid_routing::imp::imp::interface][DEBUG] Missing IP for primary interface (en0, V6)

The only indication of this type of change is in the status bar, from where the Mullvad VPN green lock disappears.

Has anyone experienced this behavior?

I recently switched to Mullvad VPN and I never knew a VPN could be this absolutely amazing right for signing up very simple and easy to sign up with basically no personal information Installing it and running it was super simple just a few clicks and your done no need to screw around with port configurations or anything else just install it and it works I am also absolutely blown away with the speeds I am able to get honestly I can't complain the speeds are actually the best I have seen yet and the ping times are actually really good yes your ping time does increase as I expected but it's still very reasonable (using a server that about 250KM away from where I live running a speef test I was getting a ping time around 7ms and remember this servers is a little over 250 KM away from were I live so there's additional travel time and VPN overhead that's super impressive Oh yes and that's not even talking about the fact that they actually mean it when they talk about being privacy focused no logs and they mean it

After installing VPN I can't share network from my PC with hotspot. I know the local network sharing might fix this.

But then another problem raises, from my understanding with VPN my data is encrypted even too router, but is it still encrypted if I enable local network sharing?

Asking cause using shared network with cable and the owner of the router you could say is quite nosy, one of the reasons I got VPN.

Thanks for all the help!

Hi,

I was trying to install Mullvad on my firestick and got the “unable to parse” error. After some research, I found that the latest Android apk was incompatible with the Android version on the firestick.

I downloaded and installed an old version which runs fine, however, when I enter my account number, it says it’s invalid?

I’ve checked and double checked the number and it’s correct, is this just incompatible with the old app version?

Thanks Stew

Apologies, a couple of basic questions:

Would it make most sense to buy the Mullvad addon for Tailscale and use my synology NAS at home as an exit-node for my mobile devices?

(Currently I use Mullvad separately as a VPN for my mobile devices and Tailscale when I want to access docker containers on my home NAS. I have to switch either Mallvad or Tailscale off when using the other on my devices. Would just using Tailscale with Mullvad addon be a better solution?)

Are there privacy concerns about giving Tailscale access to Mullvad connections?

I've posted here about me having problems with Mullvad constantly disconnecting from the Mullvad UK servers and also I made a post where I was noticing huge variations in the server speeds?

Now all of a sudden the disconnections have stopped and my download speed is more than 3 x what it was previously?

Has anybody else found the server speed and the connectivity suddenly a lot better?

Edit: After doing a few location download tests it seems that the download speed can vary enormously depending on what server you use and I tested these at the same time:

Detroit my download speed is: 117.89Mbps

Tokyo: download speed is: 39.95Mbps

Jakarta: 14.87Mbps

Riga: 78.51Mbps

London: 140.62Mbps

Does anybody know why these different servers have such large different download and upload speeds?

After using your VPN for 2 months:

Your IP lists are so old that they are all (but a few in the US) blacklisted on Reddit, Imgur, and a number of other places. On eBay, I've so far had to reset my password twice because eBay had your IPs in a blacklist as well and automatically reset the password for security reasons! And guess what, the second day of using your VPN with Amazon.com , my account of 10 years with 50K USD purchases was permanently suspended and the support told me the decision is final and I can't make any new accounts. That's on Amazon for being a bunch of morons and outright banning people from their site due to using a specific VPN provider.

But guess what? Three of the prior VPN providers I had used in the last 5 years had NONE of these problems with any of the mentioned websites. All of this could have been avoided and I would still have access to Amazon if you had bothered to update your damn IP addresses from time to time like everyone else!

It doesn't matter how great everything else with your VPN is if it gets users into such serious trouble!

I'm running Mullvad using Docker with the qmcgaw/gluetun image, but it constantly shows as unhealthy as shown below:

440efa8a2261   qmcgaw/gluetun                  "/gluetun-entrypoint"    37 minutes ago   Up 17 minutes (unhealthy)   8000/tcp, 8388/tcp, 8888/tcp, 8388/udp                                                       mullvad-openvpn

I've configured the inbound rules as:

TCP ports: 1401, 9999, 8000

UDP ports: 53, 51820, 1194-1400

And for outbound:

All ports allowed

When I allow all ports for inbound rules, it works fine (shows as healthy).

Has anyone encountered this issue before? I'd really appreciate some help. Thanks everyone!

I recently got mullvad because my uni internet prevents me from accessing most of the internet. I wanted to watch something on my plex server back home. It simply shows that the server in offline. Remote connection works, checked it with vpn off and using mobile data. What is the issue here? Any fixes? Edit: The server is an old windows laptop. When I first set it up, I enabled upnp for remote access. I am currently using a windows laptop to access the server remotely
