Mullvad is one of the few VPN providers that offers multiple exit IPs for its servers. If two people connect to the same server, they will usually end up with different public IPs. With only 578 servers (compared to Proton VPN’s 20,000), this kind of vertical scaling makes sense to avoid cramming too many users onto one IP, which would be a problem on sites with overzealous IP blocks and ratelimits.

    Def an interesting read.

    The end bit for folks here:

    Protecting yourself

    Avoid switching servers more than once per pubkey (every 1-30days)
Force rotate your pubkey by logging out of the Mullvad app

    I found I hit IP blocks on Cloudflare more with ProtonVPN than I did on Mullvad, however Mullvad is not immune, I do get a lot of reCaptcha prompts though!
