![]() ![]() Mullvad support does not recommend connecting via bridges when using a manually configured firewall and their anti DNS hijacking script. That is why Mullvad customer support specifically recommends:Īn anti-DNS hijacking script ensures that iptables are properly configured to force all DNS requests to 10.8.0.1 and 10.14.0.1. It’s unclear if DNS leak prevention (“shunting”) is 100% reliable in the Mullvad app. Socks5 configuration within Firefox does not guarantee VM-wide DNS leak prevention - especially if your VPN proxyVM and browser appVM are different VMs. The Qubes firewall GUI in Qubes Manager settings has limitations and lacks the features to properly figure ICMP and DNS. Many people find it easier to install.” That doesn’t mean it’s the best setup though. When asked about the official app, they usually say something like “Sure, you can use that. Depending on your threat model, it only takes one buggy leak to compromprise you - so it’s probably best to keep unnecessary code to a minimum.įor years, Mullvad tech support has repeatedly endorsed their “Qubes OS 4 and Mullvad VPN” guide as the best way to configure Mullvad in Qubes OS. I would love it if someone could point out where this strategy is the Mullvad GUI app has been buggier than manually configuring OpenVPN - likely because a lot more code is needed to both configure the service and make a “visual representation” of the service. That may be a leak through other ‘layers’ (e.g. I have occasionally had Google or a large chain store seem to pick my real location (or close to it), but its not common. Wget, curl and gpg (for any network access) don’t work in client qubes, but that’s probably because I haven’t bothered to work out how to pass them through the proxy. Is it enough to trust this page? If not, what other tests can we do? Mullvad’s check page ( /check) always seems to go green for me, although DNS is the slowest to register (especially between server changes).
