Guide verified and working on November 8th 2020.

First you need to login with your own Mullvad account:
After login you can go to this page OpenVPN config file.
On that page select Android/Chrome OS as the platform and select the country you want to use to connect to. For this example we select Sweden and All cities:

Then download the zip archive.
Unzip the downloaded config somewhere on your pc. You should have a file mullvad_se_all.ovpn

Now in your Synology DSM 6.x NAS go to Control Panel -> Network -> Network Interface and select “Create VPN Profile“.
Then select “OpenVPN (via importing a .ovpn file)” and click Next.
There you chose a Profile name (something like “Mullvad”),
fill in your username (which is your Mullvad accountnumber)
and as password fill in just the letter: m.
Then select the mullvad_se_all.ovpn file you just edited as “Import .ovpn file“.
So it will look like this:

Click next.

1. Using a VPN is a great first step toward protecting your privacy. We believe that privacy is a universal right. For your right to privacy Mullvad was founded in 2009 purely with the ambition of upholding the universal right to privacy — for you, for us, for everyone.

Then click Next and select all 3 items (unless you want 1 of them to be deselected, it’s your choice but to use it in Download Station you need to select at least the 1st and 3rd option!) and lick OK.

Now select the Connection and click on Connect. And…….it should work (it can take a minute or 2 to connect so be patient)!

Testing:

You can test this by opening Download Station and adding this link to download:
magnet:?xt=urn:btih:09bc8e28f500d92d7f265f963e36424a209a444f&dn=checkmyiptorrent&tr=http://34.204.227.31/checkmytorrentipaddress.php
It comes from this website (so you can trust the link I give you :)): https://torguard.net/checkmytorrentipaddress.php

Just click on the + in your download station, select Enter URL and enter the url:

Click OK and start downloading the file. While downloading go to the Tab “Tracker” and you should see there the ip address of your VPN provider as Status!

If you don’t use a VPN on your pc you can double check that it has a different ip address, for instance on: https://whatismyipaddress.com/.

Now you know it’s using properly your VPN provider.
You can also download a large torrent like a Linux distro (https://cdimage.debian.org/debian-cd/current/amd64/bt-dvd/ bottom of the page) and meanwhile look at the status of your VPN connection. You should see a lot of up/download activity while it’s downloading the file.

If above guide is not working you could try the old method which should also still work.
See this guide!

Let me know if this worked for you as well! Email LVerduijn@hotmail.com

Service Overview and Reviews

Protocols: OpenVPN, PPTP

Service: Mullvad offers an unlimited VPN service with servers in 22 countries.

The software is basic allowing you to choose which server to connect to and includes and auto-disconnect option.

Mullvad accept Bitcoins and there is a limited free 3 hour trial.

Privacy: Mullvad don’t log any users activity. See their Policy/Terms/FAQ

Our Thoughts: A small VPN network that is big on privacy but our test results were a bit disappointing on P2P with speed fluctuating wildly during download. No UK servers.
