Mullvad Browser only works with Mullvad VPN? #64

Closed poubellier closed 1 year ago

poubellier commented 1 year ago

I have another VPN provider, and when i try to use Mullvad Browser, it leads to an error page "Hmm. We’re having trouble finding that site." whatever i look for online. As soon as I disconnect from my VPN, the Mullvad works smoothly.

Is my comprehension wrong when it says "The Mullvad Browser is a web browser with the privacy quality of the Tor Browser, to be used with a trustworthy VPN." on Mullvad Browser's page? Do they mean "with Mullvad VPN or no VPN at all" instead of "a VPN?"

Mullvad Browser works with any VPN, there's no detection of whether a VPN is in use or not.

Can you confirm you're using Mullvad Browser without any customization?

It's just hardened Firefox

I can assure you that it is FAR more than just preference changes and involves a large number of specific patches not even found in Firefox's code base.. etc etc yada yada yada. Please keep discussions on topic, thank you.

Same issue here with protonvpn. Some servers work, many don't. Connections with stock Firefox work perfectly but don't with Mullvad browser.

That's interesting coz I haven't faced ANY connection issues with mullvad browser + proton vpn. Works like a breeze! Thanks folks. How to support?

Can you confirm on which OS you've tested it?

Can you confirm which OS you use and which servers don't work?

Juankz commented 1 year ago

I'm using Linux, at the time only the US servers worked. However I'm trying to reproduce the issue now but all servers are working fine :thinking:

I will close this issue for now.

If you have a similar issue in the future, please open a new ticket and provide the following information:

Thanks!
