I can only have a connection through Mullvad with this setting on while on Android. However, on the PC app this option is seemingly abscent. Is this a feature exclusive to mobile version for some reason, or is it named differently in PC app?

Without that setting on even if I manage t connect to some server the internet connection is actually missing so nothing loads.

Right now both API connection methods yield "API unreachable" when you test them. Maybe this is the root of the problem, but I don't know which combo of settings would allow me to fix this on PC. On the Android shadowsocks obfuscation helps.

Hello everyone, I’m wondering if it’s possible to have a desktop shortcut to change location.

I have auto start and auto connect which connects to a UK server on windows start.

But occasionally my wife uses the PC and requires to be on a US server. I’m trying to make it easier and more streamlined.

So having a desktop icon to switch to a US server a specific one or any, whichever. And a desktop icon to switch back to a UK server. Preferably a specific one but any would be okay.

Is anything like this possible? I’m presuming it’ll have to be a command line job and maybe turn it into an executable.

Even if you have encrypted your traffic with a VPN, advanced traffic analysis is a growing threat against your privacy. Therefore, we have developed DAITA – a feature that’s on all our supported platforms.

How to enable DAITA on Android (2024.7+)

1. Open the app on your Android device.
2. Navigate to Settings → VPN settings → DAITA.
3. Ensure the setting is switched to On.

Once the VPN connection is established, you’ll notice “using DAITA” next to the server name on the main view of the app, confirming that your connection is obfuscated using DAITA.

Note: For now, DAITA is only available on select servers in Amsterdam, London, Los Angeles and New York.

Read more about DAITA and the framework developed in collaboration with Karlstad University here (https[://]mullvad[.]net/blog/introducing-defense-against-ai-guided-traffic-analysis-daita).

Link: https[://]mullvad[.]net/en/blog/introducing-shadowsocks-obfuscation-for-wireguard

We are excited to introduce Shadowsocks obfuscation for WireGuard, aimed at helping users bypass firewalls and censorship. This new feature is available on the desktop and Android apps and will come to iOS later.

Shadowsocks is a fast and lightweight protocol that obfuscates traffic, making it harder for firewalls to detect and block. With this update, our app will become more usable in countries and networks where WireGuard traffic is restricted or blocked.

Proxying via Shadowsocks is not new to the app; it has been the default setting for OpenVPN bridges since version 2019.2! With this update, users who had previously needed OpenVPN to bypass network restrictions can switch to the faster and more efficient WireGuard protocol whilst maintaining a similar level of obfuscation.

How to Enable Shadowsocks Obfuscation

To use the new Shadowsocks obfuscation, make sure you have the latest version of the Mullvad app, at least 2024.6 for desktop and 2024.7 for Android.

On Desktop:

• Go to Settings → VPN Settings → WireGuard Settings → Obfuscation → Shadowsocks.
• Or run the following terminal command: mullvad obfuscation set mode shadowsocks

On Android:

• Go to Settings → VPN Settings → WireGuard Obfuscation → Shadowsocks.

With the default configuration, the app will automatically switch to WireGuard proxied via Shadowsocks after failing to reach a server three times.

This update brings together the best of both worlds: WireGuard's speed and Shadowsocks’ stealth. We hope this feature enhances your experience, especially in restrictive networks. Give it a try, and see if it works for you!

We are aware of some connection stability issues mainly present when using Shadowsocks and switching between networks. We are currently working on addressing those as part of an upcoming release. None of these issues are security-related nor exposes you to any risk of data leaks.

Our Amazon store is temporarily unavailable due to issues with our listings. We are actively working with Amazon to resolve the problem and appreciate your patience during this time.

On my Ubuntu 24.04 laptop with kernel 6.9.3 the internet connection will not work unless Mullvad is connected. Even if the connection is gracefully disabled through the UI. Mullvad version is 2024.6. Am I doing something wrong?

I have been extensively researching VPN solutions that are getting ARM support out in their products. Looks like the BETA is out. I am not a customer yet, but was seriously considering it if I knew official support was coming soon.

I have two windows laptops (one is ARM) and an Android phone. Currently using Malwarebytes Privacy VPN but they don't have ARM support and they don't look to support it anytime soon. Using Cloudflare Warp+ as a stop gap, but it's an additional cost $5 a month, and not a "true" privacy focused VPN. Does it make sense to pay now with hopes official support is soon? My Malwarebytes subscription is up this winter and don't think I will renew with them.

Hey guys,

I've been using mullvad vpn on my windows 10 pc for a while now and for the last couple of days it hasn't opened on startup/ or it closes completely(I'm not sure which one). Is this a known problem with the last update?

I have the settings in the mullvad app and in windows on that it should start with my pc.

Every time I make a Twitter account while using Mullvad, the account gets banned for ban evasion. Sometimes the account lasts a few days, and other times it gets banned the same day it was made. It doesn’t matter what email provider or if I use a phone number. Does anyone have any advice on how I could get around this?

The original post: /r/mullvadvpn by /u/missing-in-idleness on 2024-10-13 14:34:25.

I have a question regarding usage across multiple devices. If I use the same account on two different devices, but each device has a different IP address (e.g., one is on Wi-Fi, and the other is on mobile data), will that cause any issues on mullvad side?

Thanks in advance

I'm a MullVad user from Türkiye. Especially after Türkiye's Dictator banned Discord i started to use MullVad for using it. But i realized something, when i activate MullVad VPN on mobile internet (Vodafone), i instantly disconnect from internet. When i searched it i found out Vodafone banned most known VPN and DNS services. You guys have a solution for this? I need help of you.

Hello.

At the moment I could get 2-year keys for Mullvad at a good price.

Does anyone know how many years you can book in advance?

Hello. I just recently purchased mullvad vpn and as soon as I activate it, i experience intermittent disconnection on my wifi. I am using ios devices and both are experiencing the same. Anyone experience this and know how to fix? Thanks

Hey guys,

Please don't bite my head off for being here or asking a dumb question. I'm not super tech savvy, I'm just looking for a more private internet connection.

When I moved from Google Chrome to FireFox I was able to import my bookmarks, passwords, history, and other data.

Now that I'm using Mullvad, can I import my data from FireFox?

I don't want to have to do things from scratch if I don't have to, y'know?

Hi there. I want to exclude some apps from using VPN so I turned on split tunneling. When selecting apps for split tunneling, only a few of the apps on my PC show up in the list, and on the bottom there is browsing option for other apps. However, I can't find apps that I downloaded from Microsoft store like spotify or whatsapp. Is there a way to solve this?

Hello everyone,

We are traveling to China next week (Beijing and Hainan island). How is everyone’s experience using Mullvad over there?

We have used other VPN’s before such as Ghost and Express, but they don’t seem to work or be reliable anymore. I have also heard Trillian is struggling, but never tried that one myself.

Thank you for your time and answers.

So I've recently got a new phone that has no ties to my really identity, installed GrapheneOS and Mullvad VPN, I pay for Mullvad through crypto, if I'm using the same account on my daily driver as the new phone, will that compromise my privacy and anonymity on the new device?

The original post: /r/mullvadvpn by /u/0x00000123 on 2024-10-12 13:31:44.

I'm installing a new OS and would like to turn on the killswitch/lockdown mode before connecting to the WiFi so no telemetry is sent outside of the VPN connection.

Just wondering what settings to use to minimize latency as much as possible

The original post: /r/mullvadvpn by /u/Fearless_Major_7456 on 2024-10-11 15:15:05.

I am on linux and this only happens while I am in vc on discord or on teamspeak and doesn't happen if I am not in vc. Whenever I am in vc I get disconnected and reconnected to the vpn every few minutes why?

The original post: /r/mullvadvpn by /u/Creepy_Commission230 on 2024-10-10 20:40:56.

... also other web sites and services stopped working when on it or latency is whacking out.

It's not that I try to make Telegram safer. I just prefer surfing with the VPN on and have Telegram as a desktop app running on stand by.

Workaround: Proxy Settings -> Disable Proxy

Hey,guys. I have been using Mullvad for some months and I love it. However many sites see that I am on a vpn and either don't load (the rare but existing case) or they ask me for 10 verifications that I am human (which sometimes just hang forever). Can anything be done in the settings? Or is this the price of freedom?
