Mullvad VPN + Browser @ lemmy.dbzer0.com

Weird problem. That just started yesterday.

• Mullvad, VPN version 2024.5.
• MacOS 14.7.1
• Split tunneling. And local network sharing.

Today, if I run a ping against my gateway, I get duplicate response packets! This wasn't happening yesterday!

If I turn off split tunneling, it goes away, if I exit mullvad it goes away. Really perplexing.

I discovered this, because moonlight stopped working after 10 seconds. While I was debugging that I was doing packet captures, and eventually I saw I was getting duplicate control signals which was confusing the moonlight client.

Spent a good bit of time trying to debug my network to see where the duplicate packets were coming from, and finally narrowed it down to mullvad! Super weird

For whatever reason, the implementation of split tunneling, causes local network sharing to duplicate packets. I am just flumaxed

This release is for desktop only.

This release is identical to 2024.4-beta1.

Here is a list of all changes since last stable release 2024.3.

Added

• Add custom bridge settings in GUI. A custom bridge server can be used to circumvent censorship when regular Mullvad bridge servers don't work

• Bundle https://github.com/mullvad/apisocks5 as a standalone binary.

macOS

• Add support for split tunneling.

Changed

• Update Electron from 28.1.3 to 30.0.4.

Fixed

Windows

• Fix a race condition which could cause a BSOD when DAITA was enabled during disconnects.

If you are having issues with Mullvad in Linux (Flatpak) and getting a message along the lines of ""Your profile 'MullvadBrowser' could not be loaded"", it's a known bug and the only workaround right now is to use the test version:

flatpak install --user https://dl.flathub.org/build-repo/112221/net.mullvad.MullvadBrowser.flatpakref

Do you guys think floorp is safe to use? They forked the original firefox. I'm newbie to lemmy, so tell me if this is the wrong sub to post.

I recently learned some of the NYC Wireguard servers are 1gbps, tested it out and turned out to be true. Any other tricks like this to know/locations that are faster than others?

Weird issue I've run into recently. Most things work fine, but occasionally from the switch from cellular to Wi-Fi back and forth, the mullvad app in the work profile gets stuck. And won't reconnect until I open it and hit the reconnect button manually. And has this fun error screen, "no servers match settings".

I think the app gets confused, when there's really bad internet, like being in an elevator or switching from Wi-Fi to cellular, can't get the server list, and just stops.

I've only noticed this on the work profile, not the main profile, in graphene OS latest version

I needed Mullvad support but no sub existed...
