  • Markus Pettersson (27 Mar 24)

    Do not panic when reading public key of relay Avoid panic when reading public key of relay due to unwrapping an unexpected relay type. The unwrap happened if an OpenVPN relay was selected on Android, which should not happen in the first place.

    Merge branch 'optimize-order-of-connection-parameters-when-trying-to-des-543'

  • Markus Pettersson (16 Feb 24)

    Refactor `mullvad-relay-selector` Implement a system built on 'queries' for selecting appropriate relays. A query is a set of constraints which dictates which relay(s) that *can* be chosen by the relay selector. The user's settings can naturally be expressed as a query. The semantics of merging two queries in a way that always prefer user settings is defined by the new `Intersection` trait. Split `mullvad-relay-selector` into several modules: - `query.rs`: Definition of a query on different types of relays. This module is integral to the new API of `mullvad-relay-selector` - `matcher.rs`: Logic for filtering out candidate relays based on a query. - `detailer.rs`: Logic for deriving connection details for the selected relay. - `tests/`: Integration tests for the new relay selector. These tests only use the public APIs of `RelaySelector` and make sure that the output matches the expected output in different scenarios.

    Merge branch 'decouple-device-check-from-retry-order-des-715'

  • Markus Pettersson (25 Mar 24)

    Reset device check counter more seldom Only reset the device check counter if the daemon successfully connects to a Wireguard relay. Otherwise, the counter is either persisted through multiple tunnel connections (OpenVPN) or incremented on successive failures to connect to a Wireguard relay.

App Info

Mullvad VPN

Free the internet from data collection with Mullvad VPN – a service that helps keep your online activity, identity, and location private. Only €5/month. GET STARTED 1. Install the app. 2. Create an account. 3. Add time to your account via in-app purchases, vouchers or on our website. To make sure to block third-party cookies and other tracking technologies – use Mullvad VPN together with Mullvad Browser (free of charge). ANONYMOUS ACCOUNTS – NO ACTIVITY LOGS * Creating an account requires no personal info - not even an email address. * We keep no activity logs. * We offer the possibility to pay anonymously with cash or cryptocurrency. * Bypass geographical restrictions with our global network of VPN servers. * Our app uses WireGuard, a superior VPN protocol that connects fast and doesn’t drain your battery. HOW DOES MULLVAD VPN WORK? With Mullvad VPN, 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. Same goes for your ISP (internet service provider); they’ll see that you’re connected to Mullvad, but not your activity. It also means that all the third-party actors with technology integrated into the various websites you visit can’t sniff out your IP address and use it to track you from one site to another. Using a trustworthy VPN is a great first step to reclaim your privacy online. In combination with Mullvad Browser you make sure to block third-party cookies and other tracking technologies. FREE THE INTERNET FROM MASS SURVEILLANCE AND DATA COLLECTION A free and open society is a society where people have the right to privacy. That’s why we fight for a free internet. Free from mass surveillance and censorship. Free from big data markets where your personal information is up for sale. Free from authorities mass monitoring every click you make. Free from an infrastructure mapping your whole life. Mullvad VPN and Mullvad Browser is our contribution to the fight. 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.

Mullvad-browser

The [Mullvad Browser](https://mullvad.net/en/browser) is a privacy-focused web browser developed in a collaboration between Mullvad VPN and the Tor Project. It’s designed to minimize tracking and fingerprinting. You could say it’s a Tor Browser to use without the Tor Network. Instead, you can use it with a trustworthy VPN.
