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

A refreshingly straightforward and no-nonsense VPN app. Has a lot of very welcome features while remaining easy to understand, and the pay-as-you-go method is both simple and reasonably priced. The only real issue I've experienced is that a number of their servers are blacklisted, so sometimes you need to refresh your connection a few times before you access certain sites/services. A homescreen widget or optional persistent notificafion to make this process easier would be a welcome addition.

Most everything is great except that it keeps giving "Disconnected" notifications. I swipe them away and they come back randomly. It just so happens that when they come back. Please make the "Disconnected" and "Connected" notifications separate so we can disable one without the other. Or a way to turn them off in app. Also, the quick-tile doesn't work properly. It doesn't stay in sync with the app.

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 🇪🇺🇪🇺🇪🇺
