We have previously highlighted the importance of not losing your account number, encouraging it to be written down in a password manager or similar safe location.
For the sake of convenience account numbers have been visible when users logged into our website. This had led to there being potential concerns where a malicious observer could:
- Use up all of a user’s connections
- Delete a user’s devices
From the 3rd June 2024 you will no longer be able to see your account number after logging into our website.

All good, but mullvad should work on more rotation of server IPs or find a solution from alltheir banned server by big techs . Nearly 90% of their servers are blocked to do common internet tasks .
Is it really that bad? I let my NordVPN subscription lapse as I didn’t need it due to personal matters, I’ve heard a lot of good things about Mullvad and was considering them as my VPN provider.
With protonvpn, are the the best vpns . And I tested all the services believe me. But the big issue mullvad have is IP bans. The rest is almost perfect . Ah and the problem with port forwarding, suddenly they decided to remove that service , with reason because people were abusing of it. But instead of just remove it one day to another, with no previous notification to the users and not giving an alternate option, felt very rough .
Perhaps your browsing habits are severely impacted by Mullvad being blocked, but that doesn’t seem to be the universal case. I’ve had the occasional hiccup with a few sites that block VPNs (Mullvad’s IPs), but “90%” is quite an exaggeration when compared to my personal experience.
