An unofficial sub/community everything about Mullvad.

PS: Did you know the word "sub" is a perfectly reasonable name to refer to a community, it has no inherent connection to Reddit, since sub simply means below/under/secundary/inferior, which is pretty reasonable to interpret as "part of [instance]" thus community, hence sub. Thanks for my reading my rant.

I'm having trouble with web browsing in my setup:

Pixel 8 GrapheneOS Ironfox Mullvad VPN WiFi or Mobile data

Websites habitually don't load, or take a really long time to load. Often if I disconnect Mullvad they go through to the page immediately. I'm guessing it's a DNS issue as I'm getting can't find address type messages in the browser. Is anyone else caught on this at the moment?

Have tried different server locations in Mullvad but same issues.

Cheers!

I am seeing the same issue. Both with stock and custom (PiHole, 9.9.9.11) DNS settings in Mullvad.

Switched back to Proton this morning and things are smooth again.

Well, I'm not going mad, that's a good start 😆

I just set custom DNS in Proton and it's also smooth.
