      Mullvad supports the future of networking IPv6. Their network allows users to access services hosted on IPv6 as opposed to other providers who block IPv6 connections.

      Remote Port Forwarding

      Remote port forwarding is allowed on Mullvad, see Port forwarding with Mullvad VPN.

      No Mobile Clients

      While iOS and Android clients are reportedly in the works, mobile users will need to use a traditional OpenVPN client and configuration files, which are a bit more difficult to configure.

      Mullvad has published iOS and Android clients, both supporting an easy-to use interface as opposed to requiring users to manual configure their WireGuard connections.

      Extra Functionality

      The Mullvad VPN clients have a built-in killswitch to block internet connections outside of the VPN. They also are able to automatically start on boot. The Mullvad website is also accessible via Tor at xcln5hkbriyklr6n.onion.

    • Generally a less juicy target for governments wanting backdoor access to everything as the trust is decentralized. The server may be hosted independently from the organization developing the software.
      • -
    • Server software can be verified that it matches public source code, assuming you have access to the server or you trust the person who does (e.g., a family member)

      • -
    • Some metadata may be available (e.g., information like "who is talking to whom," but not actual message content if E2EE is used).
      • -
    • Federated servers generally require trusting your server's administrator. They may be a hobbyist or otherwise not a "security professional," and may not serve standard documents like a privacy policy or terms of service detailing how your data is utilized.

    • Server administrators sometimes choose to block other servers, which are a source of unmoderated abuse or break general rules of accepted behavior. This will hinder your ability to communicate with users on those servers.

    • Centralized services could be more susceptible to legislation requiring backdoor access.

    • Can include restricted control or access. This can include things like:

      • Being forbidden from connecting third-party clients to the centralized network that might provide for greater customization or better user experience. Often defined in Terms and Conditions of usage.

    Peer to Peer (P2P)

    - -

    Peer-to-Peer instant messengers connect directly to each other without requiring third-party servers. Clients (peers) usually find each other through the use of a distributed computing network. Examples of this include DHT (distributed hash table) (used with technologies like torrents and IPFS, for example), or Ethereum's Whisper protocol (used with some newer DApps). Another approach is proximity based networks, where a connection is established over WiFi or Bluetooth (for example, Briar or the Scuttlebutt social networking protocol). Once a peer has found a route to its contact via any of these methods, a direct connection between them is made.

    Advantages

      • Messages can only be sent when both peers are online, however, your client may store messages locally to wait for the contact to return online.

    • Your IP address and that of the contacts you're communicating with may be visible if you do not use the software in conjunction with a self contained network, such as Tor or I2P. Many countries have some form of mass surveillance and/or metadata retention.
