How does Mullvad VPN work?

Mullvad VPN allows you to browse the web securely and privately.

With Mullvad, your traffic travels through an encrypted tunnel to one of our VPN servers and then
onward to the website you are visiting. In this way, websites will only see our server’s identity
instead of yours. In addition, any information that your internet service provider (ISP) saves
cannot be tied specifically to you.

Using a VPN is a great first step toward protecting your privacy. We believe that privacy is a
universal right.

Telemetry and crash reports

The app collects a very minimal amount of telemetry, and it does not in any way tie it to an account number, IP or other identifiable information. Account numbers are used for authentication. App logs are never sent automatically but are rather explicitly sent by the user. App version checks are performed every 24 hours to tell the app if there are any upgrades available and if the currently running version is still supported.

If the split tunneling feature is used, then the app queries your system for a list of all installed applications. This list is only retrieved in the split tunneling view. The list of installed applications is never sent from the device.

For your right to privacy

Mullvad was founded in 2009 purely with the ambition of upholding the universal right to privacy
— for you, for us, for everyone. And not only that, we want to make Internet censorship and
mass surveillance ineffective.

That's a tall order, but if you want to make a change, you've gotta start somewhere.

Since our humble beginning, our VPN service has helped to keep users' online activity, identity, and
location private. Over the years, we've been blazing a trail forward to provide the most secure and
anonymous VPN out there for everyone, for us, for you.
