Mullvad is the privacy purist's VPN. It uses anonymous account numbers instead of email addresses, accepts cash by mail, and runs all servers in RAM with no logs whatsoever. This account unlocks the full network.
Privacy-First Design
- Anonymous account number — no email, no name, no profile.
- RAM-only servers in 40+ countries, wiped on reboot.
- WireGuard & OpenVPN, with DAITA traffic obfuscation against pattern analysis.
- Multi-hop, kill switch, DNS leak protection and post-quantum tunnels.
- Open-source apps for Windows, macOS, iOS, Android, Linux and routers.
