Have been using Mullvad for a few years now. Has been working well, this search actually looks useful. But one suggestion: can I pay for a dedicated, non advertised, residential IP please Mullvad? Lots of places are blocking VPNs now, like cloudflare.
- Hakkin 3y agoI would think it would be extremely difficult to provide residential IPs in a privacy-preserving way, from what I've heard most services that offer them are quite sketchy in how they go about "acquiring" those IPs. The very nature of "residential" IPs means your traffic is flowing through some random person's home internet, which certainly isn't something I would want, even these days where almost everything is encrypted. There would be no way Mullvad could provide any kind of privacy guarantee if they don't control the endpoints.
- miohtama 3y agoProviding residential IP as a service would be breaking some agreements, or lying somewhere. I don’t Mullvad can do this, because they are committed to openess and transparency. For resident IP thru malware services you need to look up other dishonest competitors.
- _rs 3y agoI suppose this isn’t a highly requested feature because as soon as you have a dedicated IP you become easily trackable. I wonder if there’s any middle ground to prevent that
- red-iron-pine 3y agousing residential IPs for commercial purposes is expressly forbidden by most ISPs.
