Need help with Mullvad VPN

Adwaith

Beginner
Hi TE!

I've been using Mullvad VPN for a few years now and was largely satisfied with it. In December 2024, I ended up renewing my subscription for another year.

Lately I have been facing severe issues with speeds. For example, my BSNL FTTH give me 200 Mbps, without VPN, but with it, its only about 40 Mbps. The issue is not as pronounced on Jio 4G, but I get about 8 Mbps with VPN and 22 Mbps without it. This issue persists across networks and devices and even the 20Gbps servers of Mullvad provide no respite.

I've changed the the DNS on the devices, the router and on the Mullvad application, but that didn't help. I also tried changing the NAT settings, but that didn't help either. I'm rather stuck with this issue, with no hope for a refund, since I'm well past the 30 day window.

If anyone could please help me remedy this, I would really appreciate it.

Thanks!

Are their any specific regions that are causing speed drops?

I've tried different regions and servers, but no dice, unfortunately.

You could probably sell your Mullvad subscription to someone and try something else. Or vice-versa!
Precisely, since Mullvad doesn't link any of your personal info. You just get an account number.
I hadn't thought about that, but I don't have those privileges yet, either way.
