Mullvad VPN

So basically I have Mullvad VPN on my pc and phone and only on those devices. Recently I had an issue with ordering from subway on a tablet (that is not on a VPN) where I would get a message that I was blocked from visiting that site. Could access the site from my pc (with the VPN, but not without) Kinda wrote it off as some weird one off occurrence and didn’t think much further into it.

Now yesterday my WatchFree+ (free live tv) on a Vizio smart tv stopped working (it would boot me out to HDMI1 almost instantly). Tried accessing the site on my pc (vpn enabled) and got that same message as when visiting subway. Turned off my vpn and was able to connect to the site without issue. I then tried WatchFree+ on the tv while my pc’s VPN was disabled and all of a sudden it works again.

Why would a device with VPN enabled be affecting devices that do not have VPN enabled?

Potentially related side note: I was banned from SteamDB (quite a while ago) when I was using Nord VPN due to data scraping (don’t even know what that is). Recently (on Mullvad) I also got a 10 minute timeout from Nexus Mods due to, I believe it was, high network traffic, which the error message said was DDoS protection. Not sure if these are related, but it seems like very odd network issues have been occurring ever since I started using VPN’s.

Anyone else have this problem? It gives me a DNS error (hostname not resolved). Same with any VPN server. I dont have the social media filter on in the Mullvad DNS settings. I also tried setting a custom DNS like 1.1.1.1 but it didn't help.

The strange thing is that if I install the mobile app, it has no problem connecting behind the VPN. Only the browser doesnt work. Tried with multiple browsers.

My friend is a server owner. He was recently in an attack of a hacker that was using Mullvad VPN. We tried to follow leads that *may* help us but it was no use. He blackmailed him just to keep his server up. We are thinking of taking legal action (informing local authorities) but Mullvad is a zero-log VPN. Is it possible to find out the person behind this or is this just a dead end?

The beta software has been out for months, what are we even doing here? Why am I paying for this?

Hey everyone,

I've been searching for a VPN free trial without needing to use a credit card. I know it can be tough to find a provider that offers a free trial VPN without requiring payment details upfront, but I’m hoping someone here knows of a good option.

Ideally, I’m looking for a VPN with free trial that lasts at least 30 days, so I can properly test the service before committing to a subscription. I’ve seen some options, but many still ask for credit card details, which I’d prefer to avoid.

If anyone on VPN free trial Reddit has come across a solid VPN trial without needing a credit card, I’d really appreciate your recommendations!

I cant see them in the list

Quantum secure tunnels are taking upwards of 10 seconds to connect every time. I asked support and they told me there's nothing in the logs to indicate a problem, which suggests they brushed off my problem and aren't pursuing it further. Does anyone else have this problem? Standard (non-resistant connections) are as fast as always, so I could use that, but if there's a problem with their implementation I'd hope they're at least aware and looking into it. What is everyone else's experience?

straight to the rabbit hole:

1. Just like any other, they have "business" partnership and there is no idea about who these are?
2. Less servers in EU including home country Sweden than to say US. If you truly advocate privacy than this should change.
3. The audits are done under a "restrictive" selected choices given to auditors. And funny thing is these so called audits are paid unlike a more stringent independent and open access kind of audit. Can you really trust theese paid auditors? who knows.........
4. Never I have seen anything like a forum or AMA on reddit? engaging with users is important. only few social media handles which again limits the user interaction
5. No business info is actually public. Zilch! Nada! They wont talk about this part anywhere.
6. Iceland is known for liberty and privacy around the globe but Mullvad has zero servers there!! On the contrary the UK gets more love than even EU.
7. I'd never understand why they partenered with Tor team to introudce Mullvad Browser? Heres the confusion. Tor team actually makes it and Mullvad deploys it with their own VPN as an offering. If you rally wanna be transparent than this browser should not even hav gotten any VPN and remain neutrall right? Just a hardenened fox
8. they shockingly dont have DAITA featured servers in Sweden!! own nation is left out?? this step alone speaks about how business is more of a priority
9. and of course core source code of severs and DNS are closed ! ka boom!
10. forgot to add this and had to double check but Mullvad is one of the most prominent donors to Tor Project (good for them!!) and now the Tor team partnered with them to provide Mullvad browser!! this step is so wrong on so many levels. A sponsor got the contract from the developers they donate to?? again m not the one to judge but seems weird. . . ...

yea yea I am looking for my tin foil hat :D

I'm wondering if the ISP or browser could see and log the account number when I click "generate account number" on Mullvad's website.

Is it wise to use a free VPN when I first generate my Mullvad account number? Or should I generate the account number while using free wifi somewhere public? I'm curious whether everyone was concerned about this or not.

My system is Ubuntu 24 using openvpn 2.6.9.

Spent 10+ hours trying to find a solution. I follow Mullvad's instructions like like a bible.

I can only connect ONE time, then have to literally go through the entire installation process again. I really can't understand why it only connects one time. I do every step in the OpenVPN for Linux guide.

Why? and what is nohup and why can't it start withou nohup?

Hi,

Since Russian cards can't be used due to sanctions, how can I pay for a VPN? Unfortunately, crypto isn’t an option either, as most services require bank or card deposits.

Thanks

I just got mullvad to use in China and it’s very slow in loading websites, unable to run games and disconnects frequently. Is there anyway for me to fix this and is it usually this slow?

Hey all. Im using iOS and it seems like that even though the doh profile is enabled, I still receive ads. Have you guys the same issue? I can resolve that issue temporarily by enabling airplane mode but after ~15 minutes it’s still the same and the ads coming though.

Any advice? Thank you.

Hello, for the last couple of days i've been having troubles connecting to Mullvad on any server / through any connection with the quantum resistant tunnel option enabled (on Andorid). The connection keeps being stuck in a never ending loading cycle. The only way of enabling the option seems to be by connecting with that disabled, and then enabling it again later, which seems to fix that. Is it a known issue?

Hi, what countries you guys recommend for torrenting with lax laws on this matters?

I tried connecting to paris wireguard servers... and then via uk using socks5 proxy. They all let me load a page or two at first before becoming completely unapologetically blocked. Does not like any of the IP addresses I've tried. Ironically using free protonvpn to access the site now via browser extension. Did I make a mistake going back to mullvad?

I used mullvad vpn and session app at the same time on my ios. Whenever I send a request message to someone new on session, it takes decades for the messages to be delivered. However, when I turn the VPN off, session app works perfectly fine. I guess there might be something wrong with mullvad, do you guys have any suggestion on how to fix it?
