Based Mullvad, once again
🫡
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.
Have you tried all the extra settings they have to bypass blockers? There’s a lot of ways to change things to get it to work.
It’s probably been a year or so since I’ve given Mullvad another try, so maybe it’s time I do that soon.
something that works for me is trying different servers until one gets through, i.e. it’s not in the site’s blocklist. Then I favorite that server and use it whenever I need that particular site
Me too, but I managed to make it work by trying different servers. For example for Japanese Netflix I use jp-osa-wg-004 instead of the default
Self-hosted is unfortunately the way to go.
Average Mullvad win
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.
If only they allowed port forwarding
Agreed, but the reason why they stopped allowing it is fairly understandable. Would be nice if there was another way to still allow it but at the same time, prevent the sharing of abusive content, all while maintaining user privacy.
Other VPN providers still allow it even with abusive content - maybe you need a good legal strategy to avoid getting in trouble for the actions of your users
Would be nice to have uPNP with a ~6 hour rotation just for torrenting.
Also. They no longer support OpenVPN. All my systems cannot transition to Wireguard as it breaks security stuff.
Skill issue
When I read the post about that, my guess was that Mullvad would quickly work in it. I am happy to have been right.
Wuuut?!!
You’re not the boss of me, I’ll panic if I want to.
Yeah man it’s your party, you can panic if you want to.
You would panic too if it happened to you
And now I have a pavlovian urge to dance. Thanks Richie Simmons
You can dance if you want to.
You can leave your friends behind.
