My PC has Lockdown Mode enabled, auto connect set not to connect on startup and split tunneling set for a virtual machine. VPN on the host is by default disconnected to prevent any internet connectivity. Any internet access is done in the virtual machine only. The idea is to protect the data stored on the host and isolate potential threats inside the VM which exclusively has internet access on the PC.

Once a few days or weeks I connect the host to the Internet just only to download and install updates (after reviewing there were no reported issues on latest updates).

However somehow the host OS sometimes manages to check for updates despite no connection.

In the settings app, Windows Update section, it displays "Last checked: <today, few hours back>".

When I manually check for updates Windows says it is unable due to no internet connection, as intended.

How is this possible?

Just wondering if anybody else is having this problem? When I use a browser with split tunneling enabled (or disabled) it doesn't find the website. When I disconnect from Mullvad it loads perfectly fine.

I have double-checked that split tunneling is enabled correctly for the version of Firefox I am using.

I switched from PIA almost four years ago, at a time when Mullvad was being praised (and continued so, until around this year) to be the top privacy and decent performer in this space. The last few months - though - have been terrible. I don't know how many times a day I need to switch exit points, and how many name resolution or pure reachability of sites fails, at least on the US servers. I am not torrenting, so I am not sure how that [still?!?] works, but from the pure stand point of a VPN service, at least on macos, I feel like Mullvad is singing its own swan song ...

Working well with PIA, speeds are so bad on Mullvad. What’s going on?

Mullvad subscription on App Store on Apple is 5 USD, not 5 EUR. My App Store region is USA. Does anyone know if that's the same in other regions? It's actually cheaper to pay it using Apple Pay on my phone than paying on website using PayPal! Does anybody know why

Hello everyone, I have an Ubuntu desktop server running on a local server based on Proxmox. The problem is that if I connect to Mullvad VPN locally, I can connect, but from external IPs, I can't. For example, this Ubuntu VPS is shared with a friend of mine who cannot connect. We use port 3389 for remote desktop connection. Is there a way to bypass this issue?

Question on the browser. What does clicking "New Identity" do? I'm not seeing any changes.

I'm using mullvad and I've set my location to Manchester, UK, but BBC iPlayer still fails to play due to geo-restrictions. What could I be doing wrong?

I've used OpenVPN on Windows and Chomebook/Android devices but now I want to configure it directly on a router. The options on the Mullvad page are Windows, Mac, Linux, IOS, Android. Which one do I download for my Asus router?

Hi all,

Noob here, I have a small homelab setup which I started recently and I want to configure Wireguard container in proxmox which has Mullguard configuration. I tried to find any tutorials online and they are all just focusing on setting up Wireguard only or it tries to configure in the Linux OS rather than a container.

So, I want to install a Wireguard lxc on proxmox and then configure Mullvad to route the traffic of homelab or a single container if required.

Please share any information or blog to follow the guide.

Thank You

Firefox is only able to connect to the internet when Mullvad VPN is enabled. Otherwise, I get this result for any webpage:

Result of searching for any web page without Mullvad VPN enabled

I have tried removing Firefox using AppCleaner to remove additional residual/profile data, and a fresh copy still suffers this issue. Any help is much appreciated.

Neither Brave, Chrome, nor Safari have this issue.

MacOS Sonoma 14.5

Latest versions of all browsers

See new changelogs: https://github.com/mullvad/mullvadvpn-app/releases/tag/2024.4

The native Mullvad App on MacOS now supports Split Tunneling! I was excited to see this change as I just updated.

Good morning! Since yesterday, I've only been able to access repository.mullvad.net through the VPN. When Mullvad is disconnected, I get an error saying "Could not connect to repository.mullvad.net:443 (45.149.104.1), connection timed out". This makes every apt update take a really long time. 😅 When I'm connected to Mullvad, though, I can reach the repository just fine.

Is anyone else experiencing this issue? What could be going wrong?

When I enable it in the client app it says it's not recommended, why is that ?

I don't really need it, but it looks like I get way less captchas when I turn it on.

When I turn on MullvadVPN and run brew update, it shows this error:

==> Updating Homebrew...
Error: Failed to download https://formulae.brew.sh/api/cask.jws.json!
Failed to download https://formulae.brew.sh/api/formula_tap_migrations.jws.json!

However, the issue is gone if I turn off MullvadVPN.

Anyone has the same issue?

I know this is a big current topic as the majority of VPNs do not support Windows on ARM. But it would be great if mullvad supported Windows on ARM.
