mullvad/mullvadvpn-app 2026.1-beta1

on GitHub

This release is for desktop only.

Here is a list of all changes since last release 2025.14:

Changed

• Change WireGuard port to no longer affect the port used for LWO.
• Change Mullvad Bridges access method to randomly pick any Mullvad-owned bridge.
  Previously the access method was constrained to the five bridges closest to the exit relay.
• Changed CLI command mullvad obfuscation to mullvad anti-censorship
• The tunnel setup will not error out if sending ICMP is prohibited by the operating system.

Linux

• Change "Go back" keyboard shortcut from Esc to Alt + Left Arrow or Alt + [.
• Use Wayland by default on Linux if available, otherwise fall back to X11.

macOS

• Change "Go back" keyboard shortcut from Esc to Cmd + Left Arrow or Cmd + [.

Windows

• Change "Go back" keyboard shortcut from Esc to Alt + Left Arrow or Alt + [.
• Make Mullvad service run in case the split tunnel driver fails to load.

Fixed

• Fix "Time left" label in main view not updating when time passes.

Windows

• Update split tunnel driver to 1.2.5.0. This fixes audit issue MLLVD-CR-24-102,
  and a BSOD when the driver was improperly unloaded.
• Detect and kill processes preventing updates.

macOS

• Ignore utun interfaces when figuring out default routes. This prevents split tunneling from
  failing when running some other software.
• Allow incoming connections to the mullvad-daemon service when Application Firewall is
  enabled. This may unblock DNS requests to the local DNS resolver running in the daemon process.

Security

Windows

• Warn user before clearing firewall rules during failed downgrades. This fix only applies to
  downgrades to this version and future versions.
