What's new in this version:

Mullvad VPN 2025.7
Added:
- Add notification that shows when the user is connected to WireGuard with a port that is not
supported

Changed:
- Replace Classic McEliece with HQC as one of the post-quantum safe key exchange
mechanisms used for the quantum-resistant tunnels. The main benefits here are that HQC
uses a lot less CPU to compute the keypair, and the public key sent to the server
is drastically smaller.

Fixed:
- Automatically connect when IP version becomes available

Windows:
- Fix issue where daemon got stuck trying to connect only over IPv4 (or only IPv6)


Mullvad VPN 2025.6
Added:
- Add a notification for notifying users about the sunsetting of OpenVPN

Changed:
Windows:
- Rename win-shortcuts native module to windows-utils

Removed:
- Remove "Automatic" option for tunnel protocol. The default is now WireGuard

Fixed:
- Fix mullvad-cli panicking if it tried to write to a closed pipe on Linux and macOS
- Fix bug where new users are not forwarded to the main view after payment
- Will no longer try to connect over IPv4 if IPv4 is not available

Windows:
- Fix error setting up tunnel when MTU was incorrectly set to a value below 1280 for IPv6
- Fix node native module being unpacked to a temporary folder
- Fix BSOD caused by routing loop in wireguard-nt


Mullvad VPN 2025.5
Added:
Windows:
- Add support for DAITA V2
- Add back wireguard-go (userspace WireGuard) support

Removed:
- Stop bundling /mullvad/apisocks5 as a standalone binary

Fixed:
macOS:
- Fix daemon ending up in blocked state if the user toggled split tunneling without having granted
- Full Disk Access to mullvad-daemon. This could only ever be accomplished from the CLI
- Fix routing issue caused by upgrading tun

Removed:
- Remove Google's resolvers from encrypted DNS proxy


Mullvad VPN 2025.4
- Fix GUI crashing at launch on some systems


Mullvad VPN 2025.3
Added:
- Add support for Windows ARM64

Changed:
- Move changelog from a dialog to a separate view
- Reduce the setup time of PQ tunnels by pre-computing McEliece keys
- Change order of items in settings view to show DAITA and multihop at the top
- Update Electron from 30.0.4 to 33.4.0

Fixed:
- Add the correct route when using obfuscation with Wireguard


Mullvad VPN 2025.2
- Fix crash when Wireguard tunnel setup timed out


Mullvad VPN 2025.1
Added:
- Add a new access method: Encrypted DNS Proxy. Encrypted DNS proxy is a way to reach the API via proxies. The access method is enabled by default.

Changed:
- Replace the draft key encapsulation mechanism Kyber (round 3) with the standardized
- ML-KEM (FIPS 203) dito in the handshake for Quantum-resistant tunnels
- Make Smart Routing override multihop if both are enabled. To manually set the entry relay, explicitly enable the "Direct only" option in the DAITA settings.
- Update maybenot from 1.1.3 to 2.0.1

Fixed:
- Handle network switching better when using WG over Shadowsocks
- Fix multihop entry location list sometimes being shown when multihop is disabled

Security:
- Block WSL/Hyper-V traffic in secured states (except the connected state). The normal firewall
- (WFP) filters normally do not apply for VMs. This mitigates the issue by ensuring that it does not leak (as easily) when the VPN tunnel is up. Previously, WSL would leak while in the blocked or connecting state, or while lockdown mode was active
