Mullvad VPN - Sneakyone - 09-05-2024 Mullvad VPN: Comprehensive Setup Guide 1. Download and Install Mullvad VPN Go to the official Mullvad VPN download page. Choose the version compatible with your device (Windows, macOS, Linux, Android, or iOS). Download the installer and run it. Follow the on-screen instructions to install Mullvad on your system. 2. Create a Mullvad VPN Account Mullvad does not require personal information like email for account creation. Open the Mullvad app after installation. On the login screen, click "Generate Account Number". Mullvad will generate a unique 16-digit account number for you. This number is all you need to log in and use the VPN. Write down or copy this account number somewhere safe, as it will be your login credential. 3. Add Credit to Your Account Mullvad offers a flat rate of €5/month. To activate the VPN, you need to add credit to your account using your 16-digit account number. Go to the Mullvad account page and enter your account number. You can add credit using various payment methods, including Bitcoin, PayPal, credit card, Swish, or even cash. Once payment is completed, your account will be activated. 4. Log In to Mullvad VPN Open the Mullvad VPN app on your device. Enter your 16-digit account number. Click "Login" to access the Mullvad VPN interface. 5. Connect to a VPN Server After logging in, you will see the main dashboard. Click "Secure my connection" to automatically connect to the best available server. If you want to choose a specific server, click on "Change Location". Select the country and city from the list of available servers, and Mullvad will connect you to that location. Once connected, your connection will be encrypted and your IP address hidden. 6. Customize Mullvad VPN Settings Click the gear icon in the app to access the settings menu. In the "General" tab, you can:     Enable "Auto-connect" to ensure the VPN connects whenever your device is turned on.   Activate the "Block IPv6" option to avoid potential IP leaks.   In the "Privacy" tab, you can:     Enable the "Kill Switch" to block all internet traffic if the VPN connection drops.   Activate "Local Network Sharing" if you want to access printers or other devices on your local network while using the VPN.   7. Test Your VPN Connection To verify that your VPN is working, visit a site like WhatIsMyIPAddress.com. Check if your IP address and location match the server location you chose. If your IP has changed to match the server, your connection is secure. 8. Disconnect from Mullvad VPN To disconnect, simply click "Disconnect" in the Mullvad VPN app. This will revert your internet connection to its normal state, without VPN protection. Advanced Features of Mullvad VPN Port Forwarding: Mullvad allows port forwarding to help with P2P sharing or accessing services remotely. Split Tunneling (Linux): You can configure split tunneling to route some apps through the VPN and others through your regular connection. Bridge Mode: For enhanced privacy, Mullvad offers bridge mode servers to make your traffic even harder to detect. Multi-Hop VPN: Mullvad allows you to route your traffic through multiple VPN servers for added security. Open Source Transparency: Mullvad’s code is open-source, allowing the community to verify its privacy claims. Troubleshooting and Support If you're unable to connect, try switching to a different server location. Ensure that your internet connection is stable. Enable the "Kill Switch" feature to avoid traffic leaks if the connection drops. If the VPN still won’t connect, try restarting the app or your device.
