That's a much more secure solution than what most other VPNs offer. I was impressed that the kill switch automatically kicked in as I switched between server locations in the app, meaning that my connection was properly protected even as I jumped from server to server. Mullvad's kill switch worked flawlessly during my testing. The built-in kill switch is also enabled by default and cannot be disabled. Mullvad's built-in DNS leak protection is enabled by default and can't be disabled. I detected no leaks whatsoever, which indicates the VPN works well to keep your online activity hidden from your ISP and anyone else who may want to snoop on your connection. My DNS leak tests also came back clean for Mullvad. Exodus similarly found zero trackers and just four permissions, none of which were deemed dangerous. Mullvad says in its cookie policy that its website only uses cookies essential for providing certain services. When I opened Mullvad's website using Brave, the browser identified zero trackers or ads. The servers that Mullvad owns are labeled on its server page, so you can decide if you want to use a Mullvad-owned server or a rented one. Out of Mullvad's current server fleet of 836 servers, 163 are fully owned and maintained by the company, meaning they're out of the control of any outside entity. This will help prevent user data from being stored on Mullvad's servers because there's no disk on which to save it. The company is in the process of transitioning its fleet of servers to a RAM-only diskless infrastructure.

Mullvad tells me a new audit is scheduled for this year, but didn't offer a specific ETA on its release date. 'Mullvad does not deem it a sensitive leak given the overall access needed to a device, in order to leverage and extract the log files.'

'This issue was discussed with Mullvad and there is no meaningful mitigation for this issue because Android OS itself logs this metadata,' Cure53 said in its audit report.

(That's when your device and the VPN server exchange encryption keys, establishing a secure connection.) 'Doing so removes the public IP address and any info about when it last performed a handshake,' Mullvad says. Wireguard deletes the data when a server is rebooted or the Wireguard interface restarts, but Mullvad takes it a step further and says it removes and reapplies the peer if no handshake has occurred within 600 seconds. Unfortunately there's no way to verify with 100% certainty if a VPN company's no-logs claims are accurate.Īlthough Mullvad says it doesn't log user IP addresses, when you connect with Wireguard, your IP address is temporarily stored in memory during the connection. If true, it means none of that can be traced back to your account number and nothing you do online when you use Mullvad can be traced back to you personally, since none of your personal information is connected to your account number. Your connection timestamps, IP addresses, DNS requests, bandwidth and traffic are never logged or stored by the company, according to its no-logging of user activity policy. Mullvad says it doesn't log any of your activity when you use the service.
