Every time I use mullvad the net conection keeps conecting and disconeting every couple of minutes and sometimes less, it happens so fast that it does not affect my activities, but what is the reason and should I be concerned?

I constantly see their name but don't know if I'm just being advertised too

I am thinking of buying a prepaid gift card to pay for Mullvad. Apparently, they are now cracking down on streaming on the net. The card only works in the USA. Does anyone know if the payment server for Mullvad is in the USA or is it an international?

And, if the USA only gift card will not work, anyone have an easy solution to pay. Crypto just seems complicated. But, maybe I can pay for crypto using a USA only gift card?

Any thoughts are welcome.

I went to sign up for Mullivad and under payment only option was cash or Bitcoin.

I've used Ivacy for 5+ years now and it's always been pretty solid for me. I've used Vuze for the same amount of time and have it setup to bind Vuze to local 'ppp1' IP address, otherwise Vuze immediately shuts down if Ivacy disconnects at random.

Over the years, this has worked well 98% of the time. The last week or so, with no input changes, when I connect Ivacy it does fine, connects and I am getting traffic. But loading Vuze I'm getting the 'Bind IP not resolved: ppp1' message.

Anybody have any ideas what's changed? I cannot get any explanation from Ivacy.

i have norton vpn and i’m trying to download plutonium as soon as i downloaded the bo2 file my kill switch went off and i couldn’t open the vpn back up i tried closing the vpn through task manager and reopening it like i do with discord if the file was already downloaded when it turned off would my isp know i’ve already gotten a email from my isp too

Dear friends, frankly, I'm starting to get scared. I saw the topic yesterday. Sharing information to vpn 14 eye countries is worrying to me. Vpn torrent list has 2022, no 2023 list! Me, I want a vpn without 14 eyes. I watch torrent movies series and pirate matches.

Windscribe + Deluge 2.1.0, LT 2.0.6 on Windows 10, but also tried 2.1.1 and the older LT version in all combinations.

Started happening about a week and a half ago - I'm having a heck of a time connecting to peers, and when I do, the download speeds are terrible except for brief spikes of ~20MB/s. I have a wired gigabit connection, I get around 350 down depending on the Windscribe server, so the connection itself doesn't seem to be the problem. I can seed and UL just fine.

I've triple-checked my port forwarding and ltconfig settings and all looks in in order. All are new torrents with multiple dozens of seeds and varying amounts of peers.

What am I missing? Am I the only one with this sudden problem?

Question is title.

Seriously, Sweden is part of the 14 eyes alliance, how can so many people be okay with that?

Im thinking of trying to set up my phone with a random free vpn app and then setting up a hot spot and then running one or two shitty free browser vpns like what opera has or stuff like that. I know those are incredibly weak layers of protection but im wondering if them+ it being set up with a hotspot would work. I cant do the smart thing and just pay for a decent vpn because I dont have a card atm, and im on linux so even a fair amount of the free vpns dont work for me. Im sorry if this is the wrong sub but Im very confused.

using qBittorrent v4.5.2. Had the same issue with some earlier versions. After binding to mullvad, at first, everything works fine, but then after a few days or so, it all of a sudden cannot connect. I found that I can fix this by switching to any interface, then restarting, then binding it to mullvad again, then restarting again. Then it'll work fine for a while until I run into the same issue again. It's getting annoying. Can anyone help me? Also, I use split tunneling for certain apps (not qbittorrent ofc)

where is the best place to download qBittorrent ?

I've tried everything from the guides and I can't get it to work.

Hi, I am very close to pulling trigger on mullvad to pair with qbittorrent but before I do want to make sure I haven't missed anything.

I'm looking for maximum performance in terms of my d/l and u/l speed and reliability whilst downloading torrents and being able to reliability seed torrents back for an indefinite period of time. I also might use the VPN to download from filehosters like rapidgator or uploaded.net if the VPN is even needed(probably not but would like to clarify)

The only streaming I do are free streams, an app called Cloudstream(doesn't need VPN) and I use various free sites to stream live sports(also no need for VPN).

I may get an IPTV service at some point to save money on bills. Just speculating but Mullvad would work with an IPTV service correct? According to my admittedly limited knowledge it's only paid streaming your Netflix, Paramount, Disney Plus etc that specifically blacklist VPN IP addresses. This prevents users from accessing content that is geo locked. From my research, IPTV services, actually don't require a VPN as from a legal standpoint as long as your not using VOD with them than there's really no distinction from when I'm streaming an NBA, MLB or NFL game in my web browser.

Does mullvad sound like the right option? I had considered proton but no port forwarding which will affect torrent performance and torrenting was main reason I want the VPN in the first place. Seems as if I should get mullvad and setup port forwarding, bond it to qbittorrent, and setup SOCKS5. Let me know if my thinking and reasoning is sound on everything I've mentioned or if its flawed at all please point that out so I can reaccess my plans.

Thanks

Hello, im trying to connect to Mullvad on my Oracle linux VPS and every time I connect to a location the VPS disconnects. I have to end up terminating the instance and recreating another as even if I reboot from the panel I still SSH to it. Has anyone else ever managed to connect to a VPN from their VPS and how did you do it? How can I SSH to my VPS without it locking me out when I am connected to the vpn? Need mullvad to torrent on my VPS

title says it all. please if you know of any, I'll be glad to know. thanks

## EDIT: I merely want it for access. bypassing geo-restrictions on certain websites. not for other reasons. that's why I just want it to work. and free VPNs are mostly out of order in here. X-VPN barely works sometimes, some days, but that's about it

Hello

Im thinking about buying my 1st VPN (1st time in life using/purchasing a payed VPN). My aim is mainly to protect my privacy, not really anything else (like accesing some content that is blocked in my country etc.), but the additional use cases for VPN might be nice too, but primary basic aim is simply to protect my privacy. Im thinking about buying VPN from some of the biggest ones/most famous ones (like Nord VPN, Express VPN...) some big/known one. Couple of questions:

1) Which provider would you suggest for me? (im based in europe if that makes any difference)?

2) My Download/Upload internet speeds will NOT be affected by using VPN at all...? (my internet provider is Wifi and has a speed of 60 Mbps (i think)... With payed VPN i should still be able to get 60 Mbps easily... (only free VPNs are super slow?)

3) VPN will totally hide my "web life" (what i search, what sites i visit etc.) from my Internet provider, correct? Thats the main reason why im aiming for VPN in the 1st place, so i hope so... (?)

4) With payed VPNs i can freely change my IP adress and country from which i appear to connect, correct? each session i can choose different server/country/IP adress...?

5) There are no downsides in using VPN (besides the cost?)...? (or do some sites for example block even payed VPNs from accesing them etc...?)

Thank you

I use firefox, ublockorigin, and hotspot shield (I know free VPNs aren't ideal, but I cannot afford a monthly subscription) with the killswitch on. I keep qbittorrent bound to the vpn. What can I do to increase my safety?

All my VPNs stopped working on school wifi. Unsure what to do.

(Device: iPhone SE 2020 and iPad 6th gen) As the title says, recently all my VPN have stopped working on my school’s wifi. This includes: Mullvad, Windscribe, ProtonVPN free tier, and all Wireguard and OpenVPN configurations for each Mullvad and Windscribe. The only thing that perplexes me is that the Speedtest app’s VPN on my phone works fine. Connects fine, unblocks everything. In settings it says IKEv2 but trying the same protocol on Windscribe doesn’t work. I am unsure which service to renew since my Mullvad subscription is running out. Do I have to try creating my own VPN on a cloud server of some kind? Is there a setting I am missing in one of the respective apps?

Thanks.

(Cross post from r/VPN as they deleted my post for mentioning specific vendors)

Removed from r/torrents so I'm posting here

I'm relatively new to torrenting, and I started downloading and seeding about 76GBs of content with varying levels of legality. I had my VPN on but i realized I hadn't configured qbittorrent to use my VPN specifically. Now, I know qbittorrent uses the VPN by default, but I got paranoid so I set it to my vpn interface and went about my day, seeding all the while. Later, my computer crashed and I had to do a hard reboot. After setting up qb and my vpn again, I noticed I was getting significantly slower speeds (from 25Mbps to 4Mbps). So I went to ipleak.net and did the whole torrent checker they have, and It showed me only my VPN ip. I then switched my interface to "any" instead of my VPN, and then it showed both my VPNs ip AND my home ip. I know the chances of getting DMCA'd aren't *that* high, but I would like to know if this is even possible or something I should worry about considering I'm currently not at my own house. Also, if it matters, I was using Mullvad through wireguard on Gentoo Linux. Thanks for the help!
