Once Upon a Time... 👀
On Monday morning we will move our API databases to new hardware, so you may experience intermittent downtime whilst we migrate data.

Sorry for any inconvenience, it will improve stability in the long term.

In case you missed it, we’ve been running a multi-part series on our app’s latest feature: split tunneling.
For the grand finale, we explain the key attributes that informed our secure design and invite you to build upon it: https://mullvad.net/blog/2021/9/10/foundations-secure-split-tunneling/
TL;DR
Our implementation sorts all apps into 3 groups: Excluded, Included, and Undecided. All launching apps get put into the last one to prevent leaks.
With split tunneling, a leak is when the excluded traffic leaks into the VPN tunnel.
When designing our own split tunneling implementation, we first examined where leaks tend to occur in other solutions.
Join us under the hood of a Windows model for a closer look of what we found: https://mullvad.net/blog/2021/9/8/can-split-tunneling-be-leaking-traffic/
It ain’t a secret anymore. We’re popping up near Piccadilly Circus in London, 12th–25th September. Round up your mates and come for a chin wag. #mullvadinlondon
Pour yourself a coffee to go along with today’s light technical reading (the crossword can wait) on the limitations of our split tunneling implementation and how to work around them:
Spoiler alert! Two ways in which limitations can be mitigated: Enable DoH/DoT or connect to a VPN server in your vicinity, or both.
https://mullvad.net/blog/2021/9/2/limitations-split-tunneling/
Hiring: We are currently hiring for 3 positions, are you the right person?
* CI/CD focused Engineer for the Infrastructure Team
* Rust developer for the App Team
* Frontend developer for the Services Team
Head off the beaten path in our split tunneling series to explore why you might want to use the feature.
TL;DR It can be helpful for:
* gaming – lower round-trip times
* banking – some banks reject VPN connections
* streaming – most services reject VPN connections.
Find the feature in the Mullvad VPN app for Windows, macOS, and Linux under Settings > Advanced > Split tunneling.
