I read their TOS. Is there another way to bypass it or should I use a VPS?

My use case:

  • Linux distro
  • Mullvad is always on
  • Additional VPN that just adds networks (openvpn3 with a .ovpn file)

Currently, openvpn3 cannot connect if Mullvad is on. If I turn Mullvad on after the openvpn3 connection is established, the latter stops working.

Is it possible to have both connections, and how?

I noticed Mullvad doing some serious poster advertising in NYC. It was kind of unique and also changed my perception of it. Other VPNs are climbing into sponsorships on YT, but Mullvad is evidently taking a more physical advertising approach. Posts by with pictures Subway (Reddit post) Busses (Mastadon post)

Apparently, the researchers contacted some VPN providers before publishing. Perhaps Mullvad is among them.

My school is blocking protonvpn and others such as iVPN and mullvad. So how can I install the linux repo to my computer if i'm connected to school wifi.
