What is going on with Mullvad VPN?

In my case sometimes the connection takes too long on wireguard, but obfuscation fixes that, tho you get less speed

Zero issues, Sweden here.
Constantly connected using Wire Guard on my pfSense box.
Maybe one disconnect in 3 months.

All kinds of issues for me

your being targeted by a timing attack u/Appropriate_Car_5599

My ISP blocked me from using any Mullvad server without a SOCKS5 proxy.

I am not having any of this issue that you mention. Only some capchas.

Speed drops after a while… I have to connect to a new server for it to recover.

I’ve not had this experience with them. Sorry you’ve had some issues.

I have no problems on my M2 Mac

But I also have an older Intel Mac, and that disconnects constantly

No issue for me - happy to upgrade the hardware and keep Mullvad

What VPN are you considering that does not get Google captchas, any specific name?

I just ran a speed test on my 900 Mbit connection and I got 867mbit so not had an issue.

Have you tried mullvad extension? You can run a proxy and that should maybe remove some of the captcha problem.

That’s strange are you using open VPN or wire-guard? Wireguard is faster.

I don’t have any problem with it . the only complain i can do it’s that the freaking windows app sometime get bugged and it’s not compatible with internet security suites .

The service for the vpn stop working and push you to reinstall to fix it . trying to restart it manually doesn’t work . Only re-installing fix it . If you have a solution to that i listen .

Also this bug happen only on one of my machines work wonderful on all of them .

Mullvad user in the uk haven’t had any drop outs or disconnects or anything perhaps it’s your isp? Or the router you’re using?

You’re getting a lot of anecdotal data. and it appears no one can back up any of their claims.

I’m having horrific quality issues. The number of servers in my region has been cut in half. Of those remaining, I’m getting terrible bandwidth and ping. I used to be able to max out my provided speed. Now I get maybe 20% of that. Mobile VPN connectivity drops and reconnects all day.

If there is a plan, or maybe maintenance, they’ve done a poor job of communicating it. I literally didn’t start noticing any issues before my preferred server was just seemingly gone.

Use IVPN. It is the best one.

Unfortunately more anonymity in getting a subscription means more bad actors, ergo bad traffic from the VPN locations/ips and more captchas/browser verification and quite frequently full ip ban on certain websites.

Today I logged on to mullvad vpn - tried to access my network hard drives and they disappeared in windows explorer - long story short …… Microsoft tech support suggested I disconnect from mullvad vpn and poof my network devices re-appeared …. So I reconnected the vpn and poof they disappeared again - tried to contact mullvad - no luck - does anyone know how to see network devices with vpn connected???

I downloaded an upgrade - and yes I had to turn on network sharing where before us was automatic - I contacted support and they responded with 18 hours so I have no issues with them - but thank you very much - I was beside myself and may have over-reacted

Stranger than this in my opinion is the advertising blitz that they’ve been on in New York. They have ads all over every subway car. Feeling very Nord
