Normal traffic I generate goes through Mullvad's utun interface.

Traffic I send from VLAN 10 to VLAN 20 on my network also goes through the utun interface. Is this expected? On the MacOS client, this is occurring, however, on the iOS client it does not appear to be happening.

Some information:

• MacOS version 2024.4
  • "Local Sharing" - enabled
  • "Enable IPv6" - disabled
  • "Split Tunneling" - disabled
  • "Tunnel Protocol" - WireGuard
  • Basically all other defaults
• iOS version 2024.4
  • Basically all defaults

Hey everyone,

I’ve been using Mullvad VPN along with a SOCKS5 proxy in the Mullvad browser for additional IP masking, but I’m concerned about potentially exposing my DNS requests, especially if the VPN connection drops. I understand that Mullvad’s Kill Switch and Lockdown Mode should block all internet traffic if the VPN disconnects, but I’m not fully confident about how DNS requests are handled in this scenario, particularly when the SOCKS5 proxy is also in play.

I followed all the steps in the Mullvad browser extension to set it up and periodically check it to make sure that it’s all green.

However, this description on the Mullvad website makes me feel less sure of this setup:

‘The proxy provides the following:

Kill switch (DNS leaks) If you disconnect Mullvad VPN while you are connected to a proxy then the Internet traffic will be blocked in the browser. This is because you can only reach the proxy when you are connected to Mullvad VPN. However your DNS will leak when you are disconnected from Mullvad, even if you have enabled "Proxy DNS".’

This seems like a real security flaw and I’m not sure why Mullvad would be promoting the extension in that case? For instance, the internet goes down, what happens in this scenario? I’m sure I’m just not getting something…

Can anyone shed some light on this please? Thanks!

I installed the Brave browser today. I am finding Mullvad works far more quickly then it did with Firefox.

Trying to connect mullvad on openwrt via ssh bridges, ssh-tunnel app installed, openvpn installed, openssl installed, luci-ttyd installed, tried to do as mullvad tutorial said. "ssh -f -N -D 1234 mullvad@185.213.154.117" result was connection reset by peer, i NEED to use ssh bridges since i am in restricted location and cannot connect with other bridges, on my android i successfuly use v2ray bridges but my openwrt router doesn't have enough memory for it installed, i only have ssh-tunnel option for my router

If I am running multiple docker images in an Ubuntu VM and don't want to pass the traffic through another docker image that is connected to Mullvad I can make sure the Ubuntu VM is always connected to Mulvad and that should secure everything. Is that correct?

Recently Mullvad has become extremely frustrating. It constantly disconnects and takes a long time to establish a connection. When it is connected, at times sites won’t load and say I’m not connected to the internet. Also YouTube has become a nightmare, videos freeze every few minutes and often won’t even load (also says I’m offline). Anyone experiencing similar issues or know of a fix?

I’m ready to cancel and stick with Proton at this point.

I know it uses 500kib when a new Tunnel is formed

This doesn’t really bother me as I’ve an unlimited all you can eat data plan And & It doesn’t slow down my speeds

When I watch movies or watching YT In HD it’s smooth, I don’t notice it

I’d love to hear from people that know a lot more about Tech that I do, As a Lot Does go over my head

I’d love to Know the Pro’s & Con’s of using it & should it be left on Automatic.?

Suppose my Linux host already connected to some mullvad vpn server with the official gui app.

Now, it should be able to use some hostname e.g. fk-xyz-wg-socks5-001.relays.mullvad.net:1080 as a socks5 proxy.

But in proxychains you can only use numeric ip. So you can nslookup the above hostname and get something like 10.124.0.x or 10.124.1.x.

Now, suppose I put many of these ip into the proxylist

10.124.0.1

10.124.0.2

...

10.124.0.x

As long as the chain length is 1, the proxychains work fine (which is obvious). But when the length up to 2, it said "socket error or timeout".

So basically I have 3 noob questions.

(1) Is it possible to make above works? How? What should I change?

(2) Am I having some misconceptions about how socks5 works? Can you correct me?

(3) If this actually work, what benefits you can get from it. Or it just totally wastes of time and harm other normal users bandwidth.

I am using 10..1.1.X to 10.1.7.x for my internal network. Mullvad is also using a 10.x.xx network but there is no conflict. I am using Opnsense as my router at 10.1.1.2 and have Unbound as my DNS server.

With Mullvad active it does not query my local DNS server at 10.1.1.2 as expected but I am then unable to resolve my internal devices. If I go into the Mulvad settings and add 10.1.1.2 as a DNS server the leak test is failing because it is then forwarding to Cloudflared.

How can I still use a local DNS server for my network but have everything else go through Mulvad?

Mullvad has been working great for me, but unfortunately its just stopped working all together for some reason.

I've got my desktop connected to my internet via range extender, which caused a few DNS issues for me (before downloading mullvad) which was remedied by restarting my main router.

Anyway, I've connected it up to qBittorent and every time I connect there is a 90% chance that the internet will drop (rather than it saying I have no internet, it just keeps loading and times out).

I've reinstalled and have had a basic mess around with the settings but can't get it to work for the life of me. Any help would be greatly appreciated
