Today we are announcing a partnership with Obscura VPN, a newly launched two-party VPN service that uses our WireGuard VPN servers as its “exit hop”.
This partnership starts on 11th Feburary 2025, with apps for macOS being available from this date on Obscura VPNs website.
While connected through Obscura, your traffic first passes through Obscura’s servers before exiting to the Internet via Mullvad’s WireGuard servers. This two-party architecture ensures that neither Obscura nor Mullvad can see both your identity and your Internet traffic.
TL;DR
2-Party Relays largely resolve the trust and privacy problem inherent in existing consumer VPNs
QUIC-based VPN protocols blend in with HTTP/3 traffic, bypassing network filters while avoiding the TCP-over-TCP slowdown
We built a new VPN named Obscura based on these two insights, partnering with Mullvad as our exit hop
