Mullvad VPN + Browser @ lemmy.dbzer0.com

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...
