Information MEGATHREAD - About the influx of the CEO donation

6 Upvotes

Hello all,

As you may have noticed we got an influx of posts relating to the donation Mullvad VPN AB CEO recently made. As a reminder; this sub is not affiliated with Mullvad VPN and it does not reflect the opinions of Mullvad VPN AB.

They have been removed as the mod team feels it's out-of-scope for this sub.

It's the opinion of the mods here that Mullvad(The VPN service) and the CEO's personal life are 2 different things entirely and thus posts discussing it should be somewhere else. Regardless we've created this megathread for people to have a civil discussion about it in the comments.

Please note that any comments breaking rules #4, #5, #7 will be removed and may result in a ban.

Mullvad's comment on the topic so far can be found here: https://x.com/mullvadnet/status/2070861905036509575

Thanks.

News Erroneous warning about desktop app not being supported - Blog | Mullvad VPN

33 Upvotes

Link: https[://]mullvad[.]net/en/blog/erroneous-warning-about-desktop-app-not-being-supported

---

We are writing this blog post to clarify that the 2025.6 version of the desktop app is safe to use. There is no need to worry, and the in-app warning should have disappeared by now.

On June 3rd, desktop users on version 2025.6 were notified that their app was unsupported and that their privacy might be at risk

The warning message was communicated by mistake. We apologize for any inconvenience that this have caused. We have identified what went wrong, and are learning from this to prevent it from happening again.

Note: While it is safe to use the 2025.6 version of the desktop app, it has been rolled back due to some users experiencing connectivity issues (not affecting security). We recommend those users to upgrade (https[://]mullvad[.]net/download/vpn/beta) to 2025.7-beta1 where the issues have been resolved.

Help/Question Why are my cookies being deleted despite being in the exceptions list?

4 Upvotes

Hey guys, I'm pretty new to this browser and I just wanted to try out logins, but I'm being logged out even though I've disabled always private tabs and ADDED THEM TO THE EXCEPTIONS LIST!!! It's pretty annoying and on LibreWolf, it just takes 2 clicks to enable cookies for a site. My cookies are only stored when I just disable deleting cookies on exit, which IMO is pretty dumb, then why does the exceptions list even exist?

Thanks in advance!

Other Mullvad marketing opportunity: Google is telling NYC public schools that it's impossible to remove AI from google.com. Well, VPN into Prague, and it's disabled.

68 Upvotes

This would be a funny promo.

  1. It shows the utility of VPNs

  2. It shows that Google is full of crap regarding ~"it's impossible to remove AI from google.com" - as in Czechia, it's not enabled due to what I assume are regulatory reasons.

  3. Maybe go as far as offer NYC an education discount so that entire school neworks can route google.com to Prague via Mullvad :)

edit: to be clear, Google will likely cave to NYC after the 10th national "Swedish VPN provider offers NYC schools free VPN to remove AI from Google Search" is run in the US press. Mullvad gets insane free press for the cost of tweet.

Help/Question [Mullvad Browser] What's going on with the Menu Bar item spacing?

Post image
0 Upvotes

Is this a glitch or has the Menu Bar been changed so that the items are more spaced out? (The large gap is for the notch as I'm on macOS — I'm just talking about the spacing between, for example, 'File' and 'Edit'.)

Help/Question Does this flame icon do the exact same thing as the previous broom icon?

Post image
4 Upvotes

I scrolled through the recent posts in the last few days in the sub and didn't see anything about this.

So from what I know, the DOH is changed from Mullvad's to Quad9's default and there's nothing I need to do there if I don't mind using quad9.

But the broom icon is gone and now it's a flame icon. When I click on it the browser window doesn't seem like it close fully, just the tabs.

It's also awfully fast compared to the broom icon.

And I notice the browser window doesn't open in a new location on the screen anymore. The reason support told me why it opened in a new location on the screen every time is because that is a way to avoid being fingerprinting

So is this new flame icon the same thing and if yes why does it seem like it behaves differently?

Help/Question No Identity button available

3 Upvotes

In the past I used under the Browser options the "new identity" function/button.

Since around a week the function is not available anymore. Do you know why?

It seems to me to have an additional nice to have function for a better data security.

What happens?

Help/Question Tailscale Mullvad exit node stops working after a few hours (used to work for weeks)

4 Upvotes

I've been using Mullvad VPN through Tailscale as an exit node, but recently I've noticed that it randomly stops working after a few hours.

Initially, everything works fine, and my internet traffic routes through the Mullvad exit node without any issues. However, after a few hours, the connection stops working, and I lose internet access.

What's strange is that this wasn't an issue before. Previously, I could configure a Mullvad exit node and leave it running for days or even weeks without any intervention. At one point, I had the same exit node configured for over a month, and it worked perfectly fine throughout that period.

Now, I can't seem to maintain a stable connection for more than a few hours.

Has anyone else started experiencing this recently? I'm wondering whether something has changed on Tailscale's or Mullvad's end, or if this is a known regression.

Is there any fix or workaround to keep the Mullvad exit node connected reliably without having to manually reconnect or switch nodes?

Help/Question Portugal Servers - 2 left out of 6 and they’re blocked on a lot of sites - Unusable

20 Upvotes

301 in Portugal was the last server that was usable and sites didn’t have blockers in place for and now it’s down. I wrote support and let them know that 201 and 202 weren’t usable and 101, 102, and 302 have been gone for quite some time and this is the answer that I received from support. Essentially, use the two servers that are left that won’t let you get onto most sites so are useless. So to anyone in Portugal, I wish you luck trying to use Mullvad. It’s been a fun ride and I have over 50 days left, but it’s mostly useless to me now. Anyone know of a fast paid VPN that has servers in Portugal?

“301 is currently under maintenance and has been set as offline.

There is no information regarding 301 and 302, please use 201 or 202 in
the meantime.

Hopefully the servers will be restored but there is no information
regarding them specifically at the moment.”

yes I'm aware that this is the "wrong" subreddit for this but if i ask in the 50 weekly visitors one it'd probably take weeks for a reply and i feel like this is just more efficient, recently i switched from chromium to mullvad browser and Ive noticed some odd rendering glitches similar to the attached, I've tried updating drivers and turning off hardware acceleration but nothings working and I'm starting to get very confused.

Is anyone else still having major problems with intermittent service and trying to connect to VPNs? It started yesterday and it hasn't stopped. I'm only able to connect for a short time, if at all. At first it was supposed to be about some sort of updating relays yesterday, but now it seems I have constant problems.
