These was one of the fastest DoH services for pipelined queries over single TCP connection
IME, it was much faster than Quad9 for this purpose
First Mullvad shuts down its Google search proxy
Now its DoH service
What's next
- kennethrc 2mo agoThey lost me as a customer when they got rid of port forwarding, which is nice to have on the high seas
- ornornor 2mo agoCurious what alternative you found as a replacement. Could you share?
- RamRodification 2mo agoI'm not the person you are responding to, but Proton VPN? That's what I switched to after it turned out one of the two Mullvad founders took my money and gave it to a local lunatic politician.
- erxam 2mo agoI've heard AirVPN being mentioned around, if it interests you.
- UltraSane 2mo agoI switched to ProtonVPN which has a heavy emphasis on port forwarding.
- Denatonium 2mo agoI did too, but I really miss Mullvad's static port forwarding system. It's a pain having to continually run a NAT-PMP client, and it doesn't work when you're connecting to ProtonVPN on your router.
- ZeWaka 2mo agoSwitched to Windscribe at the time, quite cheap.
- kennethrc 1mo agoPIA
- stutstev 2mo agoI stopped using Mullvad when they discontinued OpenVPN support (another one to add to the parent list). OpenVPN, if nothing else, provides a wider array of connection options that have a better chance of fulfilling your specific network needs. It supports both UDP and TCP, unlike WireGuard. I say this respectfully, but Mullvad is perhaps “dumbing down” their VPN service in an effort to simplify their operations and cater to a wider and more general audience.
- prophesi 2mo ago> is nice to have on the high seas For sailing the high seas, or for harboring? I, for one, am glad to not have Mullvad's IP ranges blacklisted everywhere.

- omcnoe 2mo agoI've found DoH was pretty unusable for me on Windows because the TCP connection doesn't seem to stay open between queries. No idea if it's a software or network issue, but big unpredictable delays on DNS queries broke all kinds of weird unexpected stuff.
- 1vuio0pswjnm7 2mo agoNB. I don't use Windows and I don't use "Private DNS". I'm referring to using HTTP/1.1 pipelining^1 with a TCP client plus TLS forward proxy or HTTP/2 with an ldns-based client to fetch DNS data in bulk, outside the browser, from the command line. I got some incredible speeds from Mullvad 1. Not every service still supports 1.1, RFC recommends H2
