#Why do I get low speeds using WireGuard on pfSense (when using snort) ?
If you use INLINE IPS then try setting it to Legacy mode and see if the performance improves after that.
#Can I configure the VPN myself or do I have to use your software?
We provide OpenVPN and WireGuard configuration files for any device that supports them.
#wg-quick fails, with the message RTNETLINK answers: No such device
This can happen if you set a MTU that is lower than 1280 in the WireGuard configuration file, make sure it is not set to lower than 1280 and then try again.
We support Windows 10 and newer, macOS 13+ and newer, and Linux distributions such as Debian 11+, Ubuntu 24.04+, and the two latest Fedora releases. We also provide OpenVPN and WireGuard configuration files for any device that supports them.
In the Mullvad app: Click on the Cogwheel -> VPN settings -> WireGuard settings -> Enable multihop .
#Mullvad app says that I have too many devices. How can I find which device has which device name?
You can find the device name in the Mullvad app settings > Account. You can find the device name for the WireGuard key if you log in to our website here: https://mullvad.net/account/devices
#Can I purchase more devices for my account? I have reached the five devices limit.
We cannot add more devices to an account. You would have to get a second account or install Mullvad on a router with an OpenVPN or WireGuard client to use it with all the devices in the local network.
#Why Can't I connect using Comcast XFINITY router ?
If you have set it to maximum security, "which will block most applications except web browsing, email, iTunes and VPN." , try reducing it to typical to see if you then can connect.
Or use port 53 for WireGuard / OpenVPN to connect.
For macOS users who want to use the WireGuard protocol to connect to Mullvad but are unable to use the WireGuard app that requires macOS version 10.14 or newer.
