I don't care much about that anymore because their VPN service has really gone bad. They are great in terms of privacy, but in every other aspect, they suck. Their VPN randomly disconnects again and again, once even without the killswitch being activated. They are getting blocked from websites much more often than other VPNs, making the service barely usable while costing a lot more. Plus, there are many other minor issues. I really hope they improve because I want to keep using them

I have no idea which OS you are on, but for me it has been working flawlessly for many years, on iOS (using WireGuard.)

One exception: Apple blocking their services when using a VPN IP-address, on macOS. But that's an Apple issue of course...

Even years back, when Proton still had frequent connection/App issues, my phone using Mullvad was very reliable, and hasn't failed even once.


Disabling Wireguard obfuscation and quantum resistant tunnels fixed the disconnects for me, which is fine for my use-case, but they shouldn't be enabled by default if they're causing issues
