The official Mullvad VPN client app for desktop and mobile, including a Rust system service/daemon, an Electron-based GUI, a CLI, and dedicated Android and iOS frontends. It supports WireGuard and OpenVPN with features like quantum-resistant tunnels, multihop, obfuscation, and split tunneling.

Use cases

• hide my IP address from trackers and my ISP
• encrypt my internet traffic on public wifi
• bypass censorship and firewalls
• route traffic through multiple VPN servers (multihop)
• split tunnel specific apps outside the VPN
• use a VPN with an anonymous account and no logging

When to choose

• you want a privacy-focused, audited, open-source VPN client with no account tracking
• you need WireGuard with obfuscation or quantum-resistant tunnels across all major platforms
• you want a single flat-price VPN service with anonymous payment options

When to avoid

• you need a free VPN or self-hosted VPN server (this is a client for the paid Mullvad service)
• you need site-to-site VPN or server infrastructure rather than a personal client
• you require iOS split tunneling, which is not supported
