Mullvad VPN not working on FP4, despite people here saying they use it

Using /e/OS User Queries

Hey everybody,

I’m using /e/OS on a FP4 for a couple of days now as a daily driver. As for most of the apps I didn’t get running, I now know the reason (mostly google dependencies, obvy). The only app I’m still confused about is Mullvad VPN. It’s a Swedish VPN Provider, that definitely doesn’t use Google services and whose app is availiable via F-Droid. From reading other forum posts the issue seems to lie with a conflict with AP, but turning all AP services off also doesn’t seem to do the trick. Sadly, the Mullvad App just flashes a “Sign in failed” message without further information.

Has anyone encountered this or seemingly similar behaviour?

I never had such issues with Mullvad.
It is important, as You already mentioned, to switch off APs Hide my IP.

Did you already try to clear cache of Mullvad (maybe user data as well)?
And have You doublechecked VPN settings in device settings so that there is no other always on-VPN active or anything like that?

Me too
I’m using MullvadVPN on FP5 since >1 year without any problem.
Browsers, Banking app, Aurora, … all work so far as intended.
In Murenas Advanced Privacy app I have only the app-tracker ‘on’ - the rest is ‘off’

I also have used Mullvad on FP5 since I got my phone about 4 months ago and on e/os 2.8 and 2.9.
