mullvad/mullvadvpn-app 2024.1

on GitHub

This release is for desktop only.

Here is a list of all changes since last stable release 2023.6.

Added

• Add CLI support for applying patches to the settings with mullvad import-settings.
• Add account UUID to verbose 'mullvad account get -v' output.
• Respect OS prefer-reduced-motion setting.
• Add CLI command for exporting settings patches: mullvad export-settings. Currently, it generates
  a patch containing all patchable settings, which only includes relay IP overrides.
• Make mullvad status prints if lockdown mode is enabled when disconnected.
• Add option to configure custom API access methods. Custom API access methods allows the user to
  circumvent censorship by proxying API traffic.
• Add confirmation dialog when deleting a custom list.
• Add support for custom SOCKS5 OpenVPN bridges running locally.

Changed

• CLI command mullvad relay set tunnel wireguard entry-location changed to
  mullvad relay set tunnel wireguard entry location, as the location subcommand can now be
  swapped for custom-list to select entry relays using a custom list.
• Remove --location flag from mullvad status CLI. Location and IP will now always
  be printed (if available). mullvad status listen no longer prints location info.
• Change CLI interface for custom SOCKS5 bridges as part of supporting bridges running locally.
• Upgrade the background map to a new WebGL 3D map. This should both look better and be more
  performant.
• Update Electron from 26.3.0 to 28.1.3.
• Improve the "Connecting to system service"-view with information about the situation and
  troubleshooting tips.
• Update support email address to new email address, support@mullvadvpn.net.

Linux

• Rename interface name from wg-mullvad to wg0-mullvad.
• Enable quantum resistant tunnels by default (when set to auto). On other platforms, auto still
  always means the same thing as off.

Windows

• Add information to error notification about an error that is often caused by an incompatibility
  with VMWare.

Fixed

• Validate that hostname matches correct server type for CLI commands mullvad relay set location,
  mullvad bridge set location, and mullvad relay set tunnel wireguard entry location.
• Fix connectivity issues that would occur when using quantum-resistant tunnels with an incorrectly
  configured MTU.
• Fix custom list name validation by not allowing empty names.
• Fix map scaling issues when changing display scale settings and when running under Wayland on
  Linux.

Linux

• Prevent fragmentation when multihop is enabled by setting a default route MTU.
• Fix Bash shell completions for subcommands in the CLI.
• Fix out IP missing forever when am.i.mullvad.net returns error.

macOS

• Fix default route not being restored when disconnecting when the gateway was a link-local IPv6
  address.
• Fix app sometimes getting stuck in error state when the connection is unstable. This occurred
  when the default route was removed while connecting.
• Improve multihop performance by preventing fragmentation in the tunnel. This is done by setting
  an MTU on the default route.
• Fix bug that caused high CPU usage.
• Fix bugs that caused the log to be filled with socket errors, by handling closed sockets
  gracefully.
