Is using Apple in-app purchases or even credit/debit card okay to pay for Mullvad if I am in full knowledge that it isn’t as anonymous as cash/Monero/voucher?

Hey.

So, I only want a 1-month sub to Mullvad, but all the vouchers I’ve seen offer 6 months or a year only and cash in an envelope is good, but also a hassle and makes me wonder if it’s worth it when I’m not a criminal or planning to do anything illegal anyway.

I know Monero comes easy to some, but it all just seems so complicated to me and I could just persevere, but again I’m wondering if it’s worth it when there’s so many other ways in life I can be tracked and things I pay for that can be tracked, that does it make a massive enough difference for me to pay through Apple or directly with credit/debit card or PayPal?

How to bypass VPN blocking when using Mullvad VPN?

Recently, I got two accounts on different platforms being categorized as spammer or bot. I am also very tired of all these websites blocking me, showing me captchas for 30s, or asking me to prove I'm not a robot for my "security". Just because I'm using a privacy VPN.

I would like to move forward to a setup that contains the same level of privacy as what Mullvad brings but the smoothness of using no VPN (having the whole web opened with no verification).

I don't want to stop using Mullvad VPN. I'm not an expert in this field, hence my question.

Any recommendation? All help will be appreciated.

DNS leak test doesn't work with mullvad DNS

When using mullvad DNS, https://www.dnsleaktest.com/ doesn't work and it gives ERR_NAME_NOT_RESOLVED error. If DNS resolver changed to cloudflare or quad9 it works and site loads fine. So it's 100% mullvad. Why does mullvad blocks dnsleaktest? I searched around on this subreddit i see many other people also complain about this but most of the post got deleted.

Does mullvad vpn change TikTok content based on chosen country?

I am considering a subscription mainly because I want to consume content from my chosen country, instead of local content. I heard this is the best VPN in terms of privacy, can I use it for social media apps like TikTok or IG? Also does it help change ads to that of a chosen country as well on Instagram? Thank you.

Please ELI5 about secure browsing

Hello

Yes, I know about VPNs "hiding" what you do from ISPs, so they can only see that you are on a VPN.
But from what I understand, even if you are on a VPN, they still can still figure out that you go to say pornhub. I heard of DNS encryption but saw videos of videos of people saying that it is not safe either. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=46hy3r_1VqY example.
Now at the end there, it seems by having VPN on at the same time, did hide it.
Did I see that correctly? If so how's mullvad in that regard?

Can someone please help me pay with Monero.com as someone who’s a complete beginner to crypto?

HI everyone.

Been looking at various VPN options and all the pros and cons and decided on Mullvad.

However, I want to pick the safest payment options that cannot be traced back to me and heard Monero is among the best ones.

But as a complete beginner to crypto, I downloaded the Monero.com app on iOS and I went on Mullvad‘s website and got the account number and one-time payment address and went to the pay with Monero page and clicked the “Open in wallet” button, but all I get in the Monero.com app is a “Transaction Error. No inputs provided, transaction cannot be constructed.”

Can someone please help?

Propose new laws in Canada Bill C-22

Hey I am wondering if anyone knows how the proposed bill c-22 that will likely be enacted in Canada will affect Mulvad VPN first off it would require all companies to keep a log of all user activity as well it would require all providers. Give the government of Canada unrestricted access to all of their servers, including logs and everything else for all. Canadians

I know Mulvad claims they don't keep logs however when this Bill passes and unfortunately it will they won't have a choice

Is my DNS encrypted and hidden from my ISP system-wide when running Mullvad VPN?

DNS is the most confusing part of online privacy and security for me and I could not find a clear answer about this for the life of me, soz.

Does Mullvad VPN automatically route system-wide DNS traffic in a way that's encrypted and not using my ISP's DNS server, or is there something else I need to tinker with to get it to do that outside of just my browser?

(to be clear I already use Mullvad VPN)
