Support will be removed on both client and server side.
The process of removing OpenVPN from our app starts today and may be completed much earlier.
TL;DR They are moving to wireguard only.
I’m ok with that.
Except the 5 device limit. With OVPN it means 5 connected devices, with WG it means 5 registered public keys.
Say you use the official Mullvad app and also setup some 3rd party WG client on your phone. That’s now taking up 2 devices. Or perhaps you do have 6 devices, but you never have more than 2 of them running at once. With WG, that’s still 6 devices regardless of them being connected or not, while with OVPN it will indeed be just 2 devices.
I can only assume that is the main reason for this change. Pitty.
Well thats the day I stop using them wtf
Why? Wireguard i a great protocol and Mullvad best in class with regards to privacy.
Because openvpn works easier in complex setups like Qubes or Ubiquity
Maybe but openvpn is a complex beast with a huge attack surface. Wireguard is beautiful, minimal and even in your use cases no real problem to setup?
cringe move, i’ll use riseup through openvpn
