Mullvad VPN

if you like extremely slow but private, this is for you.

I won’t talk about legalities or how that affects the tech side of things (because, frankly, it’s headache inducing and requires in-depth reading to feel comfortable. You won’t get that in an App Store Review.) Use WireGuard as an alternative. Available for iOS (iPhone, iPad) and Android (Samsung, LG, and generally other non-Apple products.) As well as Windows, MacOS, and Linux of course. The official website looks intimidating, because what you’re seeing are commands for terminals and you may be used to GUI (Graphical User Interfaces) over Text-Based User Interfaces. But don’t concern yourself with that if downloading on your smartphone, seek step-by-step guides if need be.

Very fast internet. Recommended

Edit: Can’t connect using wifi. I think it was an iPhone update that broke it, so I will try to figure out what setting is messing up my wifi.

Going on 5 years. The vpn business is full of shady people but these guys are the real deal. No extra nonsense installed on your computer running in background and hard to beat the price. I wish more IP’s were used/changed more often but for the price, safety and speed this is as good as it gets. I continue to test flavor of the months and am amazed. When a vpn installs a ton of bloatware and hidden files running in the background (surf shark/nord) or makes it a challenge to cancel (surf shark) those are the ones you want to steer clear of.

I swapped over to Mullad after the VPN service I had been using for years continually upped their monthly service subscription. I’m not impressed with Mullad over than the price point. The VPN consistently does not work on majority of WiFi networks. I can almost never stream or be online unless I turn it off. Most general website browser apps (iOS) block my traffic when I’m on VPN, forcing me to do multiple CAPTCHAs or just straight up deny me. I’ve tried a few different troubleshooting techniques with little resolve.

The service is great but the new DAITA service is way to slow to be usable. Apps take forever to load content with it on compared to not using. Please fix

Connectivity has improved but there are still IP address registration problems that lead some companies into thinking you’re in another country. I connected to McAllen, TX. I couldn’t make a purchase because websites thought I was in the Czech Republic. Same with Detroit. Websites thought I was in London. Now, even the Apple App Store is not loading when I’m connected to Mullvad/Secaucus, NJ.

Works wonderfully and can connect up to 5 devices. Only 5.99 per month! Thank you for this service!

Other VPNs advertise aggressively via influencers and i don’t see any concrete privacy features in them. Mulvad is built ground up with user privacy in mind. It’s also a no nonsense and highly reliable VPN service.
