  • Mullvad Review of 2024
    Great service. I particularly like that you can connect to their network without redirecting all traffic and only selectively use different SOCKS5[1] endpoints[2] for different browser profiles. Ad-blocking adblock.dns.mullvad.net DNS[2] is quite nice for the mobile as well.

  • Why Am I Paying a Premium Price for a Google Pixel Phone Filled with Ads?
    I am no tech bro, I am just an old retired bloke who enjoys using tech exactly how I want it to be. I HAVE NO ADS ON MY PHONE. How is this, that an old non techy can manage this seemingly difficult task. First, I change. The DNS settings on my Pixel 4A and my families and friends phones. Mullvad provides this as a free service for anyone not using their VPN. I use the family filter on our phones: There are others.... - Source: Hacker News / 2 months ago

    Either ublock origin with all filter lists checked Ghostery with ad-blocking, anti-tracking and Never Consent enabled with Fanboy's Annoyance List added to custom filters Mullvad DNS https://mullvad.net/en/help/dns-over-https-and-dns-over-tls. - Source: Hacker News / 4 months ago
  • Ask HN: Any software specific to "SHTF DNS cache?"
    Https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MaraDNS https://maradns.samiam.org/ https://github.com/samboy/MaraDNS which doesn't do the shit you fear in the first place, thereby maybe widening the timeframe before SHTF is hitting you. Or at least something from here https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Public_recursive_name_server I'd recommend Mullvad, using it ATM because it's working excellently for me, without adding any... - Source: Hacker News / 8 months ago

    If you're looking for something similar but at DNS level, you can use Mullvad's public DNS servers: https://mullvad.net/en/help/dns-over-https-and-dns-over-tls. - Source: Hacker News / 10 months ago
  • Runs on your OpenWrt box: AdGuard Home is network-wide blocking ads and tracking
    Another great (and free!) option is Mullvad’s ad-blocking DNS over TLS or HTTPS. https://mullvad.net/en/help/dns-over-https-and-dns-over-tls. - Source: Hacker News / about 1 year ago
  • Open Source Ad Blocker for Mac, Windows, and Linux
    FF enables this and they aren't not ignoring the ISPs. Settings > Privacy and Security > DNS over HTTPS There is a reason to do this btw. The name should say it all. It'll default to cloudflare but they let you specify what you want. The utility? Let's say I'm not an advanced user, what's my DNS look like? Is it DoH? We both know the answer. So defaulting so users' traffic is default DoH sounds like a security... - Source: Hacker News / about 1 year ago
  • Bypass Paywalls Clean combines all soft paywall hacks into one neat package
    I'm so tired of reading this over and over again. Do you need/use cloudflare for anything else besides their DNS? If not you can simply switch to https://mullvad.net/en/help/dns-over-https-and-dns-over-tls/. - Source: Hacker News / about 1 year ago
  • The violent gang crisis shaking Sweden
    Changing that setting to use https://mullvad.net/en/help/dns-over-https-and-dns-over-tls would have helped also. Without degrading anything else. - Source: Hacker News / about 1 year ago

  • Mullvad: Moving our Encrypted DNS servers to run in RAM
    You can have one or the other active at the same time. If you have the DNS profile turned on and then proceed to turn on Little Snitch/Lulu, the DNS profile will get turned off by macOS and whatever other DNS configuration you have will take precedence. It's mentioned in passing by Mullvad in the docs [0]: > If you have more than one profile added then macOS seems to use only the last one that you installed.

  • Show HN: Ladder, open source alternative to 12ft.io and 1ft.io
    Why not using this instead? Too slow? https://mullvad.net/en/help/dns-over-https-and-dns-over-tls/ Besides not being censored at all, thereby enabling to visit sites which are blocked at DNS-level in some locations, there are several options for adblocking at DNS-level, too. Often eliminating the need for a Proxy or VPN to get access, with optional Adblock as a service. For free. It's nice. - Source: Hacker News / over 1 year ago
  • Browser extensions spy on you, even if its developers don't
    There's also Mullvad's adblocking DNS service, which contrary to their VPN product is free for anyone to use: adblock.dns.mullvad.net They have more variations like social media block and instructions for using it at https://mullvad.net/en/help/dns-over-https-and-dns-over-tls/. - Source: Hacker News / over 1 year ago
  • Tell HN: Archive.today got censored in European countries
    My ISP blocks it since long, but I use https://mullvad.net/en/help/dns-over-https-and-dns-over-tls which fixes it. Sucks for all users who don't know how to change their DoH provider though. Would live to have an explanation. - Source: Hacker News / over 1 year ago
  • Loving the app! I have some issues however.
    I can't access the internet when I set a custom dns provider in DNS Proxy settings. I followed the instructions on this link: https://mullvad.net/en/help/dns-over-https-and-dns-over-tls/. However, the app firewall failed and couldn't get internet. I set the IP address as "193.19.108.2" and used port 853, as described in the article. I also tried to use DNS over HTTPS using the url...
