We would like to address the recent controversy about one of the owners of Mullvad making a donation to a Swedish political party.

    I made a couple of accounts with them but havent messed with their config generator or apps yet. Still trying to figure out how to allow a pc to select a vpn server but never drop the vpn even through root user intervention.

      Can’t help you there. My endpoint hosts are Android devices and Windows systems and on them, using the Mullvad app with its killswitch, connections are blocked while it changes Mullvad server.

      As for the routers, I configured them following more or less this guide: https://mullvad.net/en/help/running-wireguard-router

        If you’re using wrt or pfsense or something (no word on if their tomato guide works for freshtomato devices yet), you’ll probably like ivpns router support: https://www.ivpn.net/setup/router

        They even have instructions for asuswrt-Merlin which I always thought of as niche.

            Just be safe with it. I don’t trust them yet but as a pool of IPs to let ml systems proxy https through they’re fine.

              Yeah, it’s hard to beat the track record of Mullvad…
