USD $5.42

However in the site, they said they don’t accept “Coins”.

Assuming just dollars, but how do I send the rest of the .42 cents?

They don’t accept coins?

Read that this could potentially cause leaks, have a few questions:

1. When are these leaks 'triggered'? Is it only when you accept mic/camera permissions, or when you use a communication based app/site, or when you use the browser at all? If I simply never give mic/camera permission, is there then no chance of leakage?
2. I haven't turned off WebRTC, but Mullvad Connection Check says I'm not leaking any requests. Are WebRTC leaks based on chance? If I don't leak anything now, does that mean I probably won't leak anything ever?
3. Are these leaks only leaked to the website in question, or are there any other 3rd parties?

Literally it. been trynna make this post for 6 years but theyve payed of all the vpn and taken control of the sub reddits. Ik i sound like a conpiracy theorist but trust ifykyk. Theyre the most popular so im sure somone who has had them and switched knows. ive fallen for their 2 year deal twice. Now im looking for a vpn an im seeing the same predatory practices that prevent me from making an informed choice.

they have too many people so their servers are slow . enough said

I just download the browesr and did an install.

I did NOT install the VPN.

When I try to access ANY web sites it fails with the following

Unable to connect

The connection was refused when attempting to contact fred.com.

The site could be temporarily unavailable or too busy. Try again in a few moments.

If you are unable to load any pages, check your computer’s network connection.

If your computer or network is protected by a firewall or proxy, make sure that Mullvad Browser is permitted to access the web.

When you check the Network via Web Developer Tools, the result always shows

NS_ERROR_CONNECTION_REFUSED

Every web site via Mullvad returns the same result.

My DNS logs (Technitum and NextDNS) all show that a DNS request was made without any error.

Firefox and Brave ALL WORK.

System. Windows 11

DNS - Technitium on a seperate stand a lone server.

Forwarding Resolver - NextDNS.

Settings - I have tried all of the DNS settings and do not use a proxy.

Hi All,

I'd like to understand something - If I choose a server in the US to connect with while using the Mullvad VPN does it make it applicable to all US laws? or is it best to connect to a offshore server?

Hi everybody,

I have this message: "1 day left. Buy more credit."

and when I follow the link, my account indicates: "An unpaid card subscription exists"

I think the reason is that my card expired. So, to pay with my new card, have I to "Cancel subscription" and then resubscribe with my new card?

Sorry. I'm confused.

After latest Android update, I am unable to connect to any servers in any way. I've tried all the settings and options. I don't experience any issues with the same internet provider on Apple and Windows devices.

I wanted to test Mullvad's app before spending money and I am glad I did. After creating (but not funding) an account, I navigated to Settings > VPN Settings > Auto-Connect & Lockdown Mode. Here it instructs me to "Go to VPN Settings" where I should be able to see an entry for Mullvad VPN and configure it by tapping on the cogwheel icon. Except when I go to VPN settings, there is no Mullvad VPN entry. I'm running Android 14 on a Pixel 9 Pro and Android 12 on a Nord N200 5G (and it is missing in both instances). What's the deal?

Hello all, first time poster here. I didnt see anything about this so I thought I'd ask. I use mullvad browser as my daily driver for all of my basic websearching and whatnot, and I keep logins and stuff to other browsers. I've always used mullvad browser with default settings, not changing anything, and that includes any settings in ublock origin. From time to time, I will go to fingerprint . com to check and see if it recognizes multiple sessions, as i often close the browser and/or get a new identity just to be safe. In the past, it has always said it was my first visit, however something i noticed recently is it keeps track of all my sessions. It doesnt matter if i click the New Identity button, if I go back to fingerprint . com, it will tell me it is another visit under the same visitor ID.

Has something changed in Mullvad recently? I haven't changed any settings in my browser, always connected to mullvad vpn with their dns..

Anyone else experiencing something similar?

If I buy Mullvad through Tailscale, would I lose the ability to generate and use a WireGuard private key for use with gluetun?

Once a year I purchase a 12-month Mullvad voucher via Amazon. Always no problem - until now.

Ordered ~24 hrs ago and my order status is 'Pending Verification'. I've been a Prime member over 15 years and never seen this before. (maybe vouchers are out-of-stock?)

Lesson learned - always order voucher at least a week or two before your subscription expiration date/time!

Anyone here seen this when ordering a voucher?

Trying to figure out what's going on and whether it's a technical issue or ISP policy issue. This is happening on an Android 13 phone.

On Tmobile data and while not using a VPN, I cannot access websites for Mullvad or a few other major VPN providers. I get a cert issue thrown up, and this happens in all different browsers. When I turn my VPN on, no problem reaching the websites. They also load fine using home Wi-Fi without a VPN running.

Additionally, a year ago I set the ad-blocking Mullvad DNS server as my private DNS and it worked great until about 3 months ago when I suddenly couldn't connect to it, or the other Mullvad DNS servers. Again, this was without a VPN running.

I can turn on the Mullvad VPN and that connection is made just fine over cell data, it's the peripherals I'm having issues with (DNS server and main website). Any thoughts or similar experiences?

Is it even possible

Has anyone ever been curious to know if by entering a random number you can access successfully an active Mullvad account?

I have “Netgear Nighthawk AC1750” it says it should be compatible with Mullvad when properly configured.

This is my first time, can’t seem to find any guide on how to do it.

Im having this issue where, when im connecting to too many peers withing qbittorrent, the download speed drops to 0 and then starts building up again until it reaches around 20-30 MB/s. This cycle repeats itself every 1-2 minutes. I believe it has to do with the amount of peers connected, so i tried experimenting the setting "maximumg global connections", but im not sure about this. If i limit this setting to 100, it seems to somewhat stabilize the connection a bit, but massively cripples my throughput to around only 10MiB/s

Whenever the question of slow server speeds comes up in this sub there’s always people attacking the OP for even daring to say anything negative about Mullvad and saying that because this sub is not full of speed complains it must be all good. Well today I tried to do a small very unscientific test myself.

I'm in Thailand and need to use a server in Sweden and today I tested the top 10 (4 ovpn and 6 wg) servers in Stockholm and the result is very disappointing.

My wifi speed without vpn was 70/27 and the speeds I got when using the Mullvad servers was only a fraction of that with most of the servers having DL speeds of around 10mbps and the fastest one being just 25mpbs. I have listed all the servers tested and their speeds below (and yes, I have screenshots of all of these tests for those who think I'm just making this up).

Mind you, these are servers located in Mullvad’s home country and these tests were done around 5am local time in Sweden so there would be minimal local users.

Before everyone starts attacking me, I like Mullvad and like what they are doing, but I really don’t think this is good enough. How is it possible to try 10 servers in Mullvad’s own country and every single one of them is terrible?

(Mbps Upload/Download tested using speedtest.net Stockholm server)

My WiFi speed without VPN: 70.2/27.1

Speed with Mullvad servers:

Se-sto-ovpn001: 7.6/5.9

Se-sto-ovpn002: 8.1/1.2

Se-sto-ovpn003: 15.3/4.1

Se-sto-ovpn004: 6.8/0.8

Se-sto-wg001: 12.4/5.9

Se-sto-wg002: 12.4/5.6

Se-sto-wg003: 6.3/10.3

Se-sto-wg004: 14.9/4.1

Se-sto-wg005: 24.7/10.3

Se-sto-wg006: 15.2/0.7

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?
