I really wish I could use them but it never works with my streaming services. I've had to stick to Proton or NordVPN for reliable streaming :(

    Have you tried all the extra settings they have to bypass blockers? There’s a lot of ways to change things to get it to work.

    It's probably been a year or so since I've given Mullvad another try, so maybe it's time I do that soon.

    They literally say that they don't support streaming sites somewhere. Why even try? All those services are actively putting protections against vpns and fighting them as much as they can. A vpn service to support streaming sites needs to be constantly fighting and working on it.

    Me too, but I managed to make it work by trying different servers. For example for Japanese Netflix I use jp-osa-wg-004 instead of the default

    Are English subs available when you're on a Japan server? I haven't checked it yet but my wife says it isn't available, so we usually go for Singapore or Malaysia.

    The other problem is it seems they are implementing some restrictions somehow because a lot of the anime shows we watch have disappeared, whereas another user on the same account who is located in Asia (not necessarily in Singapore and Malaysia) has access to the very same shows.
