base.dns.mullvad.net is my goto for devices that I don't manage often, like for family, but the last few days it will randomly just not respond for a few minutes and then suddenly be fine. I haven't seen any news about it and their server status is just for their VPNs. Anyone else noticing this or have any info?

yes, just as you described but on my ios devices so idk if it’s related.

when i emailed mullvad support, they promptly responded with “log out, then log in”. it didn’t fix anything but it seems like turning off multi-hop has helped.

i also had a separate geolocation issue around the same time but support said that they [firefox focus/google] “are using an incorrect geolocation database”.

like you, i also tried looking online and didn’t find anything. i’m glad to find your post – thank you. i bookmarked it in case you or someone finds a fix.

Yeah I always turn off multihop and DAITA on my Mullvad thing, I know it's less secure but they absolutely murder my connection speed.
