There isn’t any information beyond the server name and the at-a-glance logic that green means a server is good to use and red means it’s offline.

Back on the location page, click or tap on the down arrow next to a country to select locations, and then use the down arrow next to the location to find specific servers. About eight seconds later you should be online, and disconnecting only takes a few seconds with only minor interruptions to real-time internet services (like music streaming) in my tests. Simply click on the country name, switch to one you like, then head back to the main screen and tap on ‘Secure my connection’. Mullvad starts by recommending Sweden (Mullvad’s home base) as the default connection option, but it’ll remember where you last connected to afterwards. While neither the Windows software nor Android app that I tested for this review are much to write home about in terms of their design, they get the job done in a straightforward way. A 2020 independent security audit conducted by Cure53 ⇱ only uncovered a handful of security risks in the application and its code, none of which were deemed critical or dangerous.The simplification returns when it comes to actually using Mullvad VPN. Mullvad VPN regularly allows for its commitment to anonymity to be put to the test. All the same, because of Mullvad's anonymous payment and registration methods, this doesn't really raise any concerns. Further, Sweden is a party to the 14 Eyes intelligence-sharing agreement. The location of the company's headquarters in Sweden means that Mullvad VPN must adhere to stricter data privacy laws than its competitors based in places like Panama or the British Virgin Islands. In terms of anonymity and privacy, Mullvad VPN truly goes the extra mile. Should you mail your subscription fee in cash without a return address, no personal data will exist tying you to your payment method or account. Combined with the ability to anonymously create an account, this means that your activity cannot be linked to you. According to Mullvad VPN's data policy ⇱, no user activity logs are collected.
