HOW DOES MULLVAD VPN WORK?
With Mullvad VPN, your traffic travels through an encrypted tunnel to one of our VPN servers and then onward to the website you are visiting. In this way, websites will only see our server’s identity instead of yours. Same goes for your ISP (internet service provider); they’ll see that you’re connected to Mullvad, but not your activity.
It also means that all the third-party actors with technology integrated into the various websites you visit can’t sniff out your IP address and use it to track you from one site to another.

Using a trustworthy VPN is a great first step to reclaim your privacy online. In combination with Mullvad Browser you make sure to block third-party cookies and other tracking technologies.

FREE THE INTERNET FROM MASS SURVEILLANCE AND DATA COLLECTION
A free and open society is a society where people have the right to privacy. That’s why we fight for a free internet.
Free from mass surveillance and censorship. Free from big data markets where your personal information is up for sale. Free from authorities mass monitoring every click you make. Free from an infrastructure mapping your whole life. Mullvad VPN and Mullvad Browser is our contribution to the fight.

TELEMETRY AND CRASH REPORTS
The app collects a very minimal amount of telemetry, and it does not in any way tie it to an account number, IP or other identifiable information. Account numbers are used for authentication. App logs are never sent automatically but are rather explicitly sent by the user. App version checks are performed every 24 hours to tell the app if there are any upgrades available and if the currently running version is still supported.

If the split tunneling feature is used, then the app queries your system for a list of all installed applications. This list is only retrieved in the split tunneling view. The list of installed applications is never sent from the device.

Ratings and reviews

My opinion is that this is one of the best VPNs you can install. The monthly price is not bad, and you can let it lapse or renew at your discretion, no contracts or auto renewal plans to have to get out of. My favorite feature is the DNS ad blocking, it stops ads from even making it to your device, and even blocks built in ads in many apps, and of course in your browser. Absolutely worth the small monthly fee.

Update: Great VPN and great app. Super easy to use. Has the features you need and no bloat. Does offer payment via Bitcoin if you should need. I just pay with my visa. I've noticed some of the servers the VPN uses are recognized by some sites, but a minor issue and there are plenty of other servers to choose from. I run it 100% of the time. Highly recommended!

My previous review stated that it doesn't work well in China, but it does after you switch location. I thought it automatically connects to the fastest served, but it doesn't, it was in Sweden by default, but after switching to other locations, like USA, it works very well. Maybe developers should introduce the "fastest server" as default so that others don't get confused like I was. Anyway, good job, gonna stick with your VPN 🇪🇺🇪🇺🇪🇺
