If you don't want to switch to the Mullvad app, it's still worthwhile to switch to their wireguard profiles. Connections seem more stable and wireguard is far easier to configure.
Hey I’m curious about the terminology you guys are using here. Is there a manual or a page which I can read to learn more about wireguard profiles and what mullvad has done for them perhaps?
Wireguard is the latest VPN protocol. Check out the Wikipedia page (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WireGuard) or it's homepage (https://www.wireguard.com/). Not all VPN providers support it yet (notably Proton VPN), but it is generally faster and more secure than OpenVPN.
Linus has integrated more than a few questionable things into the kernel so that’s not a ringing endorsement for me. Perhaps it’s a good implementation for the new standard, perhaps not.
Regardless, I want to say to you that I appreciate your comment and I’m going to go off and do some further research before I begin to have an opinion.
