I corrected your original comment a bit (missing #1413 + strange Netlify link).
Are there any news on the app getting into F-Droid repository or Mullvad hosting their own F-Droid repository and how about iOS?
Thank you, I will need second opinions though due to not being a Mullvad nor iOS users.
CC @djoate, I cannot request your review from the UI
I think mentioning it as a beta seems fine, but right now, it doesn't seem to be ready for general use as it's still an early beta. For instance, according to https://github.com/mullvad/mullvadvpn-app/issues/1260, it seems that they don't have VPN start up on boot right now. This would currently contradict the later statement on the PTIO VPN page of how the Mullvad VPN clients "are able to automatically start on boot."
So, we should mention that they have OpenVPN and WireGuard configuration files for Android as well. The way it's phrased right now makes it seem like the beta app is the only option for Android. If one wants to have such features like start on boot, they have the option to use those mature open-source VPN clients for now.

That git repo is also where they develop for other platforms. The download link also includes a link to the repo anyway for those that are interested.

I think this looks good and is ready to go.

This part is resolved.
The mobile client criteria is for 1) ease-of-use for users and 2) additional mobile functionality that generic VPN apps do not provide. Their current offering does not satisfy this IMO.
I think it makes more sense to wait until their apps are finished to mention them. As we previously discussed at https://github.com/privacytoolsIO/privacytools.io/issues/1413#issuecomment-544211872.
It might though. While the Android beta isn't as easy as the Play store, using Wireguard could likely be what Mullvad wants their users to do. They have put money into that project and it's as easy as installing and selecting Mullvad to get it working.
Agreed
Mullvad client on Google Play Store
https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=net.mullvad.mullvadvpn
And here is their iOS client.

I guess this needs merge conflicts fixed and preferably links to the app stores?
Hello everyone - for some reason I force-pushed my branch back to the master, closing this PR. Thus, I've opened a new one making the required changes that @Mikaela requested.
