My Router is blocking connections to ipv4.am.i.mullvad.net

VPN
1

The twist is, I don’t use Mullvad nor am I home at the time. How do I go about trying to figure out why this connection is being made and removing the cause?

2

My guess is that it’s an attempted pop up add from a mobile device that has a free game installed. I have a similar thing going on.

3

This is a domain (ipv4.am.i.mullvad.net) connected to Malwarebytes Service mbamservice.exe

4

Except it is specifically my desktop as the origin

5

so why is this appearing to be constantly blocked in my router? yes I use malwarebytes

6

Any BHOs or malware? Have you tried running things like malwarebytes, adaware, and CCleaner?

7

Did Malwaysbytes and CCleaner both, and both came up clean

8

I see the same thing. Have you figured this out?

9

Someone commented on the Malwarebytes forum that apparently it uses Mullvad for its privacy system. If you have Malwarebytes installed it would most likely be from that.

I do. So nothing to worry about. Thanks.

So this is mbytes safety net essentially?
