[QUOTE="n8chavez, post: 932913, member: 90863"] This has been bugging me for years, and I've never been able to find an answer for it. Hopefully someone here can. With mullvad vpn you have the option of using a local socks5 proxy address that ties to the local users' instance of that VPN (not the server). With openvpn it's 10.8.0.1:1080, and with wireguard it's 10.64.0.1:1080. That is in addition to the network killswitch, ensures that no traffic from the apps set up to use that proxy will leak. This does not use ssh at all. Great. Awesome. But why is mullvad the only vpn I can think of (out of 25+) that uses it? Wyh don't they all. Could it be that maybe most do, but I just don't know about it? [/QUOTE]
