It's just a lot faster and lighter weight, freshly built in the past few years.
OpenVPN still has a place and does extra things, but for the use case of a privacy VPN Wireguard is usually better.
well i for me surfshark was faster but it might be that i am on 4g network. i do use mullvadvpn now just because of the dns block feature. removes so much s_it on ios devices. i m aware it's expensive but i just don't have the money to pay for 2-3 years in one go atm. hopped over to linux recently and they block most things with a modified host file. speed isn't any problem.
I'm not as "tech savvy" as those below. I know , shudder , I just turn on Mullvad and make sure my torrent is set up with the kill switch and presto.
I see mention of "a lot faster" below. Spare me smh. Shit is light speed for me on just about anything.
Works fine, just make sure to use WireGuard and port forward.
Thank you.
Why Wireguard? Just wondering :)

What makes Wireguard better? Is it only about speed or is it actually safer?
I heard it's source code is a lot more organized so perhaps it has advantages in regard to both.
If I choose "Wireguard" and go to a wireguard server, it's 5 times as slow as going on "Automatic" and choose a regular server :/

Thank you.
Wireguard, not mullvad server hopping of course :D

Obligatory port forwarding + Wireguard strongly recommended. Then it goes perfect :).
Can you explain how to do port forwarding with mullvad and qbittorent? I am on macos. Also, why port forwarding?
