Anyone else getting bounced from mainstream websites with Mullvad VPN?
Anyone else getting bounced from mainstream websites with Mullvad VPN?
EDIT: Thank you all for your help, I guess I'll have to keep changing location, filling captcha and occasionally allow an exception. Keeping ones internet activity even remotely private requires effort, even with good tools.
Hi,
After reading time and again about how Mullvad VPN is the best VPN out there, I decided to give it a try and got myself an account & credit for a month worth of trial.
However after a couple days of use on my mobile (I also use Mullvad Browser), I'm getting bounced from many mainstream website.
Is this normal? Any settings I should adjust?
Cheers

Don’t no which websites you are talking about, but a bunch of websites (looking at you Reddit) block VPNs based on ip. Your only option is changing server until you find one that isn’t blocked or using Tor
Life Hack: Replace the 'www' part from the URL with 'sh'. For example: replace
www.reddit.com/post1/...with
sh.reddit.com/post1/...It should be easy to write a script that replaces these URLs. This allows using reddit with my VPN (Mullvad) turned on. I don't know why reddit offers such a workaround, but it works for me.

Thx for confirming! Sounds good.
Can you format this better please?
Gave it a second try :)
Ohh. Thank you that makes much more sense.
