Lots of issues. No killswitch. Only buy month by month

No automatic off switch if vpn fails. And the vpn will fail. You will be connected to a server and then you will check which one and that server will have vanished and youll just be disconnected. Instead of this thing switching you to a different server. Thanks a lot. So mullvad has been advertising so heavily that they have gotten too big for their britches. I deal with constant captchas and human verification bs. Not to mention that the sf servers are so worthless. That when you use them you get flagged by every app. And have to deal with age verification bs. Mullvad has jumped the shark by becoming too big and its just not practical for day to day stuff. Probably won’t buy another month. Whatever you do, dont buy more than one month at a time because i anticipate their service becoming even worse and no amount of yearly discount will make it worth it. If this company cant be clever and be a good vpn. We will take our money elsewhere

Need temporary disconnection feature

My experience with Mullvad’s been pretty good. The privacy-centric features (not keeping logs, etc) is appreciated. Also the ad blocking and malware blocking is something I depend on.

One missing feature though (compared to some other VPN services) is the ability to disconnect temporarily, meaning it would reconnect automatically after a set period like 15 minutes. Reason I have depended on this feature extensively while using other VPNs, is that some sites, like some banks, will not work over a vpn connection and once I disconnect, I often forget to reconnect. Would be good if you can add this feature. Thx.

Don’t usually leave reviews

They deserve it. 5 stars.

Has become unusable

Disconnects every 5 mins and EVERYTHING blocks access when using Mullvad now

The best! These changes, though..

Love Mullvad, but I don’t like the recent changes to multi hop. We used to be able to pick out entry and exit servers; now you’ve taken that away. I really despise the “dumbing down software for everyone because a few don’t understand it” approach; that’s the Apple way, and it’s limiting and not very respectful of your users. Give a dummy-proof toggle, sure, but don’t take away useful features for everyone and tell us we’ll love having less control. First time I’ve ever been a little unhappy with Mullvad.

How does Mullvad VPN protect my privacy?

It offers anonymous accounts that require no personal information, such as an email address. The service keeps no activity logs, and you can pay anonymously with cash or cryptocurrency. It also uses the secure WireGuard protocol for fast and battery-efficient connections.

Is Mullvad VPN compatible with other privacy tools?

What are the benefits of using a VPN like Mullvad?

Using a VPN is a significant step towards reclaiming your online privacy. It shields your IP address, encrypts your data, and prevents your internet service provider from monitoring your activity. This is crucial in combating mass surveillance and data collection.
