Using Mullvad on Linux Mint, I see a number of settings and have no idea what they are for. DAITA, Multihop, Local Network Sharing, API Access. I would like to keep Mullvad VPN on all the time, but still be able to use Freetube and Grayjay. Also not break too many websites, although that seems to be more of a Librewolf setting issue. Can anyone recommend settings for Mullvad that I should be using?

Mullvad servers have been targeted by YouTube. I’ve found consistent access with Freetube requires multi-hop using rented servers.

Use their SOCKS5 proxy. Haven,'t encountered any issues on Freetube since then.
