EDIT: Thank you all for your help, I guess I'll have to keep changing location, filling captcha and occasionally allow an exception. Keeping ones internet activity even remotely private requires effort, even with good tools.

Hi,

After reading time and again about how Mullvad VPN is the best VPN out there, I decided to give it a try and got myself an account & credit for a month worth of trial.

However after a couple days of use on my mobile (I also use Mullvad Browser), I'm getting bounced from many mainstream website.

Is this normal? Any settings I should adjust?

Cheers

I'm having the same issue, and like others have said, using frontends Is a nice solution. However, they can be hard up remember. I searched for an extension to automate it, and found this. Seems awesome. https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/

Yeah, libredirect is awesome. It's useful even if I remember all the frontends, since it means even embedded and linked videos use whatever frontend I want in the case of Youtube.
