Mullvad Is Shutting Down Its Public Encrypted DNS on November 2 and Funding Quad9 Instead
Mullvad announced on September 3, 2026 that the public DoH servers it has run since 2022 will shut down on November 2, 2026, and that it will financially sponsor the Quad9 Foundation rather than continue duplicating that work. Mullvad Browser users who kept the default DoH configuration migrate to Quad9 automatically, but anyone who manually pointed resolvers at Mullvad's DoH endpoints has to change them before the cutoff. The servers were never required for Mullvad VPN itself; they existed as a free public resolver.
