Termination of global ports 1 Aug 2021

We urge you to replace your current ports with city-specific ports as soon as possible, 30th July at the latest. This change only affects global port users.

On the 10th February 2021 we blogged about our Unfortunate port shortage and the necessary change from offering “global ports” to “city ports”.

We also said that the existing global ports would eventually have to be reclaimed, and we recommend you to replace your current ports with city-specific ports at your earliest convenience.

We have now set the date for termination of global ports as the 1st August 2021.

If you want to retain the same port number that you have today, then contact support@mullvad.net with the port number and the city you want it assigned to, 30th July at the latest.

In big data = big failure II we explained how impossible it is to remain anonymous as soon as a series of data is collected. Use single payments such as cash to pay for accounts tied to ports.
