@helenslunch I haven’t had any issues using Mullvad Browser for browsing any website but I have experienced websites that block MullvadVPN when WireGuard obfuscation is turned “On”. When setting it to “Automatic” or “Off” it resolved the issue.

Haven’t experienced any websites breaking since. 🫠

Edit: With the exception to banks because banks but that’s a given with their hate for all VPN’s.

How about Reddit or DeviantArt? I’ve noticed issues with each of those

@LWD Reddit works just fine as long as I don’t have TOR turned on and its not behind another VPN as well, they don’t take kindly to TOR and double VPN. I just accessed Reddit to verify and it does work just fine.

I don’t normally use DeviantArt but…I just checked and it blocks you if you have Ads blocked in the DNS content blocker. Looks like they really want to get you those advertisements. Otherwise I can access Deviantart with Mullvad as well.
