Great service. I particularly like that you can connect to their network without redirecting all traffic and only selectively use different SOCKS5[1] endpoints[2] for different browser profiles.<p>Ad-blocking adblock.dns.mullvad.net DNS[2] is quite nice for the mobile as well.<p>[1] <a href="https://mullvad.net/en/help/socks5-proxy" rel="nofollow">https://mullvad.net/en/help/socks5-proxy</a><p>[2] every server has its socks proxy address listed <a href="https://mullvad.net/en/servers" rel="nofollow">https://mullvad.net/en/servers</a><p>[3] <a href="https://mullvad.net/en/help/dns-over-https-and-dns-over-tls" rel="nofollow">https://mullvad.net/en/help/dns-over-https-and-dns-over-tls</a>

Where does Mullvad get all this engineering expertise? Most VPN hosts don't have the expertise of security researchers and protocol developers.<p>It's great that they work on these issues, but the organization is a mystery to me.
Great that they are self hosting their support email. Curious about which software they are using, few years ago I have a good experience with the open source/self hosted OS Ticket tool to handle support tickets, follow up messages, threads, multiple support seats, etc. It has some UX issues, wondering if there is any other good solutions out there right now.
> "Encrypted DNS Proxy and adding ShadowSocks for WireGuard to enhance obfuscation for customers that truly need it."<p>Seems like the user base is wider than what would be addressed by the most basic use of VPN. Mullvad would then serve a greater purpose than what many, or at least I, would be aware of.
I’ve been using mullvad for years now. I can’t recommend it enough. I travel a fair bit for work and it’s a must in certain countries and certain hotel chains that have horrible privacy reputations.
I've used Mullvad for quite a long time now, and haven't had too much trouble, though as of late the performance the last year seems... lower than previous ones.<p>But honestly I think dragnet surveillance has won, so that's a moot point for usage (just my opinion).<p>I mainly use it to keep from doxing myself (OpenVPN + socks v5), because for some reason every website you go to now wants to know if you're interested in X at [Your location].<p>with a footer like `[IPv4] [IPv6] [lat, lon] [First Name, Last Name] [SSN#]` Serving you proudly since 2005!
