Mullvad hides your IP and encrypts your traffic
Mullvad routes your connection through an encrypted tunnel and gives you a shared IP address, so sites see the server, not you. There's no sign-up form — the app generates an anonymous account number, and that's the only thing tied to your subscription.
Switch servers to get past regional content blocks, or rely on DAITA traffic obfuscation to resist the machine-learning analysis some networks use to fingerprint VPN traffic.
Mullvad doesn't want your data — because it doesn't need it
Most of Mullvad's privacy design comes down to one decision: never collect what you don't need. No email, no name, no payment details tied to your traffic — pay with a card, crypto, or cash by mail, and the app never sees which one you picked. Connection logs simply aren't written in the first place.
That no-logs claim is checked by outside auditors on a recurring basis, and the audit summaries are published rather than kept private — so it's not something you have to take on faith.

The Mullvad app is the same download whether you're paying for one month or ten years — there's no cut-down free tier and no premium unlock hiding faster servers behind a second fee.
It uses WireGuard by default (OpenVPN is there if you need it), enforces a strict no-logs policy, and switches on DAITA traffic obfuscation and a kill switch the moment you connect — not as an opt-in extra.

- No account, no logging — access is just a generated number
- Server switching gets you past regional censorship and content blocks
- DAITA traffic obfuscation pushes back against AI-based traffic analysis
Mullvad Browser: built with the Tor Project
A VPN hides your IP, but it doesn't stop a site from fingerprinting your browser. Mullvad Browser, developed together with the Tor Project, is tuned specifically to make every install look like every other install.
Run it alongside Mullvad VPN for the strongest setup, or use it on its own — it blocks trackers and resists fingerprinting either way.

No personal account is required — the Mullvad app generates an anonymous access number on first launch, and you add time to that number using a card, cryptocurrency, or cash sent by mail.
WireGuard, the protocol Mullvad uses by default, adds very little overhead. Most people notice no meaningful difference in streaming quality or download speed on a nearby server, and switching servers can actually unlock a wider streaming catalog.
DAITA reshapes the timing and size of your encrypted packets so they don't form a recognizable pattern — the kind of pattern that machine-learning traffic analysis tools look for to identify VPN usage even without reading the content.
Native Mullvad apps are available for Windows, macOS, Linux, Android, and iOS, plus router-level configuration guides for protecting every device on a home network at once.
The kill switch blocks all network traffic the instant the encrypted tunnel disconnects, so nothing leaks over your regular, unprotected connection while Mullvad reconnects.
