2018.1-beta9
[2018.1-beta9] - 2018-01-30

- Uses the https://am.i.mullvad.net/ service to figure out location and public IP of the device.
The app then shows this information in the unsecured state. - Argument to the daemon,
--resource-dir <path>
, that allows customizing where it will look for
needed resource files. - A very stylish map now indicates where you are connecting through.

IPv6 addresses, but looked like ones. - Show a better error message when api.mullvad.net is unreachable.

2018.1-beta8
[2018.1-beta8] - 2018-01-09
Added
- "Allow LAN" setting that configures if the app should allow communication to the LAN (private
networks: 10/8, 192.168/16 and 172.16/12) while the app is in the secured state. - The app can now be used to connect to all our servers rather than a smaller subset. The list
of servers is automatically updated when the app starts. - The location selector now shows if the country or city has any active servers.
Changed
- The tray icon now indicates whether the app is allowing traffic outside the tunnel or not. If the
app blocks traffic because the tunnel is not connected the tray icon will indicate this with a

- Download a list of our current servers on startup, instead of having a bundled list of servers in
the app that does not receive updates. - Backup account numbers in a file so that they are harder to lose.
- Include the OpenVPN log in the problem report. IP addresses and MAC addresses are redacted before
the logs are sent.
Fixed
- Hold off notifying the frontend of the 'unsecure' state until the VPN tunnel is actually
completely disconnected. - Show the VPN GUI on all macOS workspaces, not only the one where it was started.
Changed
- Renamed daemon binary from
mullvadd
tomullvad-daemon
.
Security
- DNS leak found when using redirect firewall rules and a custom DNS forwarder. Replaced all of that
with strict DNS blocking firewall rules and SystemConfiguration integration where DNS settings are
injected to the operating system settings and constantly monitored for external changes.
