Resolving Issues with Mullvad OpenVPN Config

As a user of Mullvad, you might encounter issues with your OpenVPN configuration. One such issue is that despite being connected to a server via WireGuard, the interface does not show up in the QBittorrent webUI.

In my case, I was able to connect to a server using Apple and Android devices but faced difficulties connecting through the Windows client. After investigating further, I discovered that the Mullvad app uses WireGuard userspace and generates an interface named wg-mullvad.

However, when I checked the network interface in QBittorrent, only lo and eth0 showed up, regardless of whether I had Mullvad connected or not. This was unexpected, as my server is connected to a WireGuard server via wg-mullvad.

To resolve this issue, you can try checking for deprecated options in your configuration file and ensure that they are correctly set. Additionally, make sure that the interface name is correct and matches the one generated by Mullvad.

In my experience, enabling Mullvad on a headless Debian server and verifying connection status helped resolve the problem. You can also try comparing OpenVPN and WireGuard protocols to determine which one works best for your needs.

Overall, troubleshooting issues with Mullvad's OpenVPN configuration requires patience and attention to detail. By following these steps and ensuring that your interface name is correct, you should be able to resolve any connectivity issues and enjoy seamless access to QBittorrent and other applications.
