I'm using Mullvad because I like their company. F***! These is no way I can formulate this sentence without it sounding weird...

Anyway!

It seems like the state's websites and the municipalities' websites allow Mullvad but the counties' websites block it.

What the actual f.... ๐Ÿ˜‚

What's the situation in YOUR country/region? Are you able to do taxes, surf on healthcare related websites (hospitals etc) and on government bodies' sites without issues?

I can do whatever with Mullvad VPN here in Sweden besides of logging into my bank. They are blocking the Swedish servers for whatever reason so I just change to the Norwegian servers instead.

    That is so... Interesting? ๐Ÿ˜… What do they have to gain by blocking their own IPs/locations but not the neighboring country's...

    That is a good question. I contacted Mullvad few years ago and since I download my emails for local storage and then delete them from the server, I can't find their response (am not home at this very moment).

    But I want to remember is that my bank blocks the Swedish VPN servers due to fraud/misuse.
