Mullvad has operated public encrypted DNS (DoH) servers since 2022. They are unnecessary when using Mullvad VPN — traffic is already encrypted and Mullvad VPN's internal DNS handles all queries.

    I’ve just seen this.

    Do you know any good alternatives?

      I moved to AirVPN after Mullvad shut down port forwarding and haven’t had any issues. It’s run by privacy activists.

      iVPN is the the best alternative if you want something as powerful as Mullvad. It’s a bit slower though

      ProtonVPN if you can stomach one CEO once praised trumps choice of some anti euh oligopol(?) lawyer.

        If you already use Proton Mail, I strongly recommend against using ProtonVPN because you’re coupling yourself too hard to Proton. At least, if your threat model is high risk

          What if I just torrent shit occasionally? Am I good? I like proton’s services a lot for the convenience which is a no no on here but I am a lazy fuck.

            If you just use VPNs to torrent stuff, then that’s fine. I’m just saying that if your threat model makes you a target to let’s just say the CCP for example, then coupling Proton’s suite with their VPN is a bad idea

              I don’t do anything that makes me a target so I’m all right

        If I’m going to move away from mullvard because a high up funds populists I’d rather avoid that too.
