The websites or other Internet services you visit always log your IP address. It is nothing too serious in most cases, but the information can be used for malicious purposes by hackers. If you wish to protect your identity while surfing the web, Mullvad can help you. This lightweight application is capable of rerouting your Internet traffic through a Virtual Private Network (VPN) from a country of your choice. Thanks to its straightforward functionality and easy to understand options, even novice users can hide their real IP addresses to browse the web anonymously and to bypass region or country-related restrictions.

Mullvad works on all popular Windows platforms and it can be installed in a matter of seconds. It doesn't ask for any supplementary tools or services and you don't have to sacrifice too much disk space, RAM or processing power to run it. The application is free to try for three hours, but without any functionality restrictions.

All you have to do is click a Connect button, on a compact user interface and Mullvad will redirect your traffic through a VPN. A few tweaks can be made on the same window, but on a separate tab. An online account is needed to use the application, but it will be created automatically and you can change its number at any time. It is also possible to add and manage a series of network ports, on the desktop interface or on a web browser, after you log into your account.

By default, the application will choose the optimal server automatically, but you can set it to connect to a server from a specific country. Additionally, you can check a few options to stop DNS leaks, exclude Swedish traffic and to disable the Internet connection if the application fails to connect you to a server.

Pros

You can reroute your Internet traffic through a VPN, to hide your real IP address. The application allows you to choose servers from different countries. Additionally, it allows you to make a series of useful tweaks.

Cons

Connecting to a server and receiving a new IP address may take some time. Mullvad gives you the freedom you need to surf the web anonymously and to avoid any region or country restrictions.
