I really wish I could use them but it never works with my streaming services. I've had to stick to Proton or NordVPN for reliable streaming :(

Have you tried all the extra settings they have to bypass blockers? There’s a lot of ways to change things to get it to work.

It's probably been a year or so since I've given Mullvad another try, so maybe it's time I do that soon.

something that works for me is trying different servers until one gets through, i.e. it's not in the site's blocklist. Then I favorite that server and use it whenever I need that particular site

If only they allowed port forwarding

When I read the post about that, my guess was that Mullvad would quickly work in it. I am happy to have been right.

Wuuut?!!

EDIT: calm down, no panic needed

[–] Abyssian@lemmy.world 18 points 1 hour ago (2 children)

You're not the boss of me, I'll panic if I want to.

[–] popekingjoe@lemmy.world 11 points 1 hour ago (1 children)

Yeah man it's your party, you can panic if you want to.

[–] mushroommunk@lemmy.today 10 points 1 hour ago* (last edited 1 hour ago) (1 children)

You would panic too if it happened to you

And now I have a pavlovian urge to dance. Thanks Richie Simmons

[–] Abyssian@lemmy.world 8 points 1 hour ago (1 children)

You can dance if you want to.

[–] pressedhams@lemmy.blahaj.zone 6 points 1 hour ago (1 children)

You can leave your friends behind.

[–] ItsNotImportant24@lemmy.ml 4 points 48 minutes ago

Cause your friends don't dance and if they don't dance, well they're no friends of mine
