Is it safe to change the default security level to "safer", or will that make it easier to fingerprint you? It says on their website that anything beyond the default security levels shouldn't be changed, but I just wanted to be sure. Sorry if this is a noobish question

Began with latest Mullvad VPN macOS app update.

Tried many different things but continue to experience Apple News not working when Mullvad VPN is enabled. Works when VPN is completely off. Toggling DNS filters doesn’t change anything.

Emailed support but never heard back for weeks.

Anyone else experiencing this or find a fix?

It looks like I can add 30 days through Apple Pay, but I don’t see a bitcoin option. Am I missing something?

Thanks for any tips.

… especially after dealing with my issues with YouTube recently.

I am interested in learning more about this, and how it will help me. For one thing, how is the browser compared to others like Firefox and chrome? I heard the connection is fast? How is it VPN compared to NordVPN, and even MalwareBytes VPN?

Does anyone noticed YouTube doesn't work well with VPN / blocklist recently? Any fix?

Getting really good speed with overall better response time if WireGuard app is in use but Mullvad app will fall behind and also got improved battery with less impact on system.. . Ofc the Mullvad app comes with more advanced features but I do wish it becomes more "lighter" like the WG app...

How would I route all traffic from a port on a raspberry pi through a mullvad VPN?

The CEO of PremierVPN is shilling their VPN by pretending to be regular VPN users under the usernames u/911ts and u/Nullsec22. These accounts likely belong to Keith Murray, the owner of PremierVPN and former CTO of TorGuard, who was fired for unknown reasons.

Examples of dishonest promotion:

Title: Blocked in Turkey?

I stay in turkey half the year and holy molly, more and more services are blocked everytime i come back. My Firestick is fking useless, Try PremierVPN folks, it works for me, tried a free VPN initally and ads were bursting out my device holy crap. Anyway good luck, Turkey is becoming more and more restricted I find.

I definitely advise users to avoid PremierVPN due to these dishonest tactics.

I have a Windows 10 machine running Mullvad 2024.4 which connects fine and is working as expected from a VPN perspective.

I was hoping to keep a mapped drive alive to a network share, which from the screenshot included appears to be something that is supported, however when I connect to the VPN with Local Network Sharing enabled, I loose my connection to the mapped drive.

Has anyone successfully managed a VPN connection which doesnt sever any existing mapped drives, using Local Network Sharing, without split DNS?

Thanks

Like the title suggests, I've created a script that lets you install Mullvad Browser with just a script. It is open source under the license of GNU AGPLv3.

You may access to it at: https://github.com/spookyorange/mullvad-browser-linux-install (GitHub/Spookyorange/mullvad-browser-linux-install)

Good day!

So there are a few instances when I want communication between devices in my network, and a VPN is a hindrance to that.

On my phone, running the android app, its really easy as I can go into "Split Tunneling" and set an exemption for an app I want (in this case LocalSend).

However on my desktop, its another matter (I'm running the Linux version 2024.4 if it matters, but this problem has been here ever since I started using the service years ago).

First there's no obvious way to set a permanent exemption for an app (as I can in android). If you go into "Split Tunneling", I am only given the prompt to launch the app...which does get cumbersome. To navigate into Mullvad's settings, find Split Tunneling, and launch the app from there.

Second and more annoyingly, the split tunneling doesn't work in Desktop. My devices can't see each other unless if I disconnect from the VPN.

There has to be a better way to do this; and frustratingly on android there is.

I'm in a country that's weird about VPN. I managed to establish a connection using Bridge Mode in the OpenVPN settings, but for some reason I can't connect to Tailscale with that setting on. I get a warning with a long-ish error message along the lines of "The last login error was fetch control key...failed to resolve controlplane.tailscale.com and no DNS fallback candidates remain." Any ideas what's going on here and/or if there is a workaround?

Can anyone offer me any advice as to what I need to do.

I have just created a Mullvad account and installed the software, but when I try to connect it just says that it can’t connect because of a possible VMware conflict.

I am so frustrated with trying to figure out what to do, I’m about to go out and pick a fight with an angry silverback gorilla and kick it right in the balls. This seems the far easier option than trying to deal with this mind fuck!

If I use firefox but exclude it from the VPN tunnel through split tunneling, do websites still know that I'm using Mullvad? I ask this as apparently DNS isn't excluded from the VPN tunnel when using split tunneling, only IP addresses are

I'm trying to exclude these two games from the tunnel split since the VPN makes the ping triple (but I need it to call on discord). However just adding the game, riot client and vanguard doesn't seem to make the trick since it either gets stuck on loading screen or says there's no internet connection for the client.

So I'd like to know what I should have excluded and what not

I followed this post but the connection is grey'ed out on the Chromebook I am using.

Any reason for this? This Chromebook belongs to Los Angeles Public Library and is managed by them. I need to access sites that Chrome Guard that is installed on here blocks.

I have the Chromebook until the end of the year (2024) so I could save the money to get another one for myself.

The alternative of course is to connect via my phone. The problem there is that it's a Lifeline phone and data is limited (6 GB) and expensive ($30 to add 8 GB).

I mainly use the Wifi at the library as my main high speed connection.

Thanks

PS - I could if I find a good deal get my own Chromebook however making that money back is a challenge.

I use multiple accounts on various sites as part of my operational security (opsec) practices. To make this process more convenient, I use SessionBox, which allows me to manage multiple profiles without having to log in and out repeatedly. However, some forums have protections in place that can detect when two accounts are being used from the same IP address, potentially linking them together.

This is where SessionBox comes in handy, as it enables the use of different proxies for different accounts, preventing such detection. My question is: Is there a way to obtain proxies from specific countries through Mullvad's VPS and use these country-specific proxies for my different accounts? I understand that in order to use a proxy, my Mullvad VPN needs to be connected, which I'm fine with.

When attempting to download mullvad from their site the past few days, it only gets to about 7 megabytes before stalling then failing the download. Wondering who else has this issue and how to fix.
