base.dns.mullvad.net is my goto for devices that I don’t manage often, like for family, but the last few days it will randomly just not respond for a few minutes and then suddenly be fine. I haven’t seen any news about it and their server status is just for their VPNs. Anyone else noticing this or have any info?
I have noticed similar issues recently and also suspect their DNS is to blame.
Next time it happens I’ll try to toggle it off and back on, it’s just been a few times over a few days but it will suddenly be all of the devices, even those on mobile networks for a minute or so and then it is fine for hours.
Its working OK for me.
No problems over the recent weeks for the family.
You can check which DNS server you are using by expanding the DNS box in our Connection check.
If you expand the “NO DNS LEAKS” for the server info.
The API section next to the FAQ gives more info.
Can confirm, to a lesser extent. Each query takes a few seconds to resolve, which isn’t a huge deal, except when browsing, so I set Adguard DNS within the browser.
I’ve had no issues so far. Response times have been relatively quick, nothing unusual.

Yeah I always turn off multihop and DAITA on my Mullvad thing, I know it’s less secure but they absolutely murder my connection speed.
I have my network using it, no issues as of yet.
You didn’t mention OS, but I heard there was an issue with linux kernel 6.16 that caused packet loss. Patched in 6.16.5.
