Mullvad VPN

When I run a DNS and IP leak test, it shows up as Tzulo. Is that expected or am I leaking?

On my PC, I can access essentially any website I want thanks to Mullvad and Shadowsocks. I've even tested this with some Chinese sites, which used to not load presumably due to VPN usage, which is officially banned over there.

However, on all my devices including my PC (note: I am using Firefox) the Reuters website specifically continues to have issues. When I try to enter, I get a page saying "Access denied"; no error code or anything specific, just that and the message "Our apologies, the content you requested cannot be accessed.". Considering how some companies/sites are about VPN usage, with that being the only issue I really ever face on the internet, I am guessing that this may be the reason.

But I also have not found anything when searching for this issue, with the only even somewhat recent Reddit post coming to the conclusion that one of their two adblock extensions had supposedly been the cause of this. I have several privacy-focused extensions, but they have never caused such issues, and disabling the major ones (UBlock and NoScript) doesn't fix the issue.

Does anyone else experience this issue with Reuters? Or has anyone perhaps solved this issue before, and can give me advice on how to fix it?

Situation:

• MullvadVPN client on Linux.
• Multiple VLANs on 192.168.0.0/16 (192.168.1.0/24, 192.168.2.0/24, etc.)
• local network sharing turned on in MullvadVPN client

Is there any way I can configure my network settings to allow access to another VLAN when connected? I see with traceroute that the issue is I'm using an IP address on Mullvad's network as a gateway. I understand this is how things are supposed to work. I'm just wondering if there is a workaround with wireguard.

PS: I realize that this is potentially a security nightmare, as I am essentially asking if I can access my home gateway for specific routes, ignoring the VPN tunnel for those requests. I just want to know what my options are.

Going to China tomorrow for a month. Should I get mullvad? Saw lots of posts saying it works while others said it doesn’t. Anyone in China right now?

I've been using userChrome and userContent themes for a while now with all the firefox forks I use. Does Mullvad have any dedicated ones that are good?

In case you didn't know.

I've used the same firewall through xp, 7 and now 10. It lets me block ips, ip ranges, exes, dlls and is light-wieght, stand-alone and doesn't add a 'suite' of 'features'...it's just a firewall.

But, It doesn't let Wireguard work. I have to switch it to 'Allow Traffic' and Wireguard connects instantly. Haven't discovered any way to configure it that allows Wireguard to connect (and I know this firewall pretty well after all these years).

So I need a new one since Mullvad is sunsetting OpenVPN and Wireguard will be our only choice. A majority of firewalls out there use the Windows API (WFP filters) or just act as a 'front-end' to Windows Firewall. There are a few that 'roll their own' API and get away from dependence on Windows, but most of those have become bloated 'suites' of subscription services, not what i'm looking for.

Simplewall and TinyFirewall are both no longer maintained and I have no idea if they'll let Wireguard work.

Fort Firewall requires us to redirect DNS on Mullvad and Windows networking to localhost and admits Wireguard is 'iffy', if it works at all.

So what's my options? Anybody know a firewall that's not Windows that works for Wireguard?

I had an important question when updating the Mullvad VPN app does your IP address get leaked or does it automatically kill your network connection because I had that case I’m pretty sure all my applications wouldn’t respond to a network connection and I’m pretty sure Mullvad did that when updating but I’m not sure if anyone hasn’t answered that would be great thank you.

It just doesn't make sense to me why the GPG key would be there on the same page with a the update with a signature which is gonna obviously match...

I couldn't even validate the signature.

What's the logic...am I missing something?

The original post: /r/mullvadvpn by /u/who_stole_my_cap on 2025-06-24 20:14:34.

thing is that mullvad is no longer just a vpn company and expansion in other products such as search (earlier this was only for paid users) and browser (defaults to mullvad search) has caused it become what they might not want to become! remember those ram only servers and cache only for temp period? well, a server is a server and it has to store files (dumb down version) and whether stored in ram or disks, the data remains alive. mullvad now has more of such user cached data with them and this could lead to more attack surfaces. not only a user (theory) can leave behind more traces with this combination but those who are not paid users, also gonna leave huge chunk of data (including default logs/downloads/pings/updates/installs) with mullvad.

mullvad is on a strange path here and not sure if this is the "way" for it!

Vodafone has banned Mullvad in Türkiye and I have to use Wireguard Obfuscation when I switch to mobile data. My problem is that no matter what mode/port I use, my connection drops and reconnects every 10/15 minutes. I tried many different servers but the result did not change. Do you have any suggestions?

I’m using Mulvad vpn which has ipv6 turned off by default, they also recommend leaving it off.

Does this mean that I should set qbitorrnt to not connect to IPv6 seeders?

Im not worried about speeds, I just don’t want to leak anything. Thanks

Hi, I need a little help with building the mullvad browser from source and since I don't want to pollute the gitlab issues in case it's just something easy to resolve / something stupid on my side.

I'm running an up to date arch linux and when trying build mullvadbrowser-release-linux-x86_64 with tor-browser-build, I run into the following Error

Building project mmdebstrap - mmdebstrap-src-1.4.0-f89def.tar.gz

Error: 1.4.0 is not a signed tag

make: \*\*\* [Makefile:449: mullvadbrowser-release-linux-x86\_64] Error 1

But since it is a dependency pulled from git I'm not sure how or where to change the dependency version. Additionally a quick look through the wiki open gitlab issues didn't yield anything helpful.

So please if anyone has advice

thanks a lot in advance

Post scriptum: I tried this for both release and nightly

Is multihop worth to use, cuz both servers are controlled by Mullvad, so if in theorie mullvad logs using multihop would not save much.

Hi, I have set up my router to handle my VPN via wireguard. Now I have had the same IP for 3 days. Is this by design?

Hello,

I'm unable to access my local network (10.212.46.0.0 range), despite enabling the "share local network" setting. I'm using latest version of mullvad on latest MacOS version.

I face this issue since a couple of months; prior to that, Mullvad was working flawlessly for years. No change was made in my network setup.

I'd greatly appreciate any pointer to troubleshoot this issue.

Some networks and sites block Mullvad VPN (or VPNs in general).

What are the best settings to avoid that?

I can't figure out how to start on windows mullvad browser. I read the guides, but I'm a bit long in tooth and missing something everyone else finds intuitive. Be kind please.

I have a couple questions about how the kill switch works when using Mullvad VPN, just to make sure I'm not accidentally leaking data. I'm aware that the way you're supposed to make qBitTorrent only ever use the VPN is by going to options->Advanced->Network Interface, and then selecting Mullvad. I've already done that. With that out of the way:

1. Is this supposed to only stop the torrents if Mullvad is totally shut off? I ask because through testing, if I click "disconnect" in the Mullvad interface, the Torrents don't seem to stop. Is there a way to set it so that they will? Also, what will happen when the prepaid time runs out? Will Mullvad simply "disconnect", allowing the Torrents to continue, or will it totally shut down?

2. If I share my PC with someone else who uses a different Windows account, will the VPN be active for them as well? Will the Torrents continue to run?
