2026.1

Warning

A few Windows users have reported that the connection is blocked unless split tunneling is disabled in this release. This does not affect the security of the app.

This release is for desktop only.

Here is a list of all changes since last stable 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.

Security

Windows

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