      I really wish I could use them but it never works with my streaming services. I’ve had to stick to Proton or NordVPN for reliable streaming :(

        They literally say that they don’t support streaming sites somewhere. Why even try? All those services are actively putting protections against vpns and fighting them as much as they can. A vpn service to support streaming sites needs to be constantly fighting and working on it.

          ah okay, didn’t realize that. Sounds like mullvad just isn’t a good fit for my use case.

        Self-hosted is unfortunately the way to go.

    Damn, I read that article describing the fingerprinting a week ago I think it was. That is some damn good turnaround from one of the few companies I still love.

      What one programmer can do in one month two can do in two months. Mullvad is small and dedicated enough to not have to wait for a separate QA team, etc.

    When I read the post about that, my guess was that Mullvad would quickly work in it. I am happy to have been right.

      Also. They no longer support OpenVPN. All my systems cannot transition to Wireguard as it breaks security stuff.
