Mullvad VPN has introduced a QUIC-enabled censorship bypass feature for its mobile applications. This update allows users to better disguise their WireGuard traffic, following a similar rollout on desktop versions.
The new feature enhances privacy for mobile users by leveraging QUIC protocol to mask VPN traffic, making it harder for censors to detect and block connections. According to TechRadar, this capability arrives after desktop apps gained the same functionality, providing a more robust tool against internet restrictions.
Mullvad, known for its privacy-focused services, continues to innovate in response to global censorship challenges. The update is available now for mobile users, improving the effectiveness of WireGuard, Mullvad's preferred tunneling protocol.
No specific details on implementation timelines or affected regions were provided in the announcement, but the feature aims to broaden access to secure browsing in restrictive environments.
