Mullvad is one of the few VPN providers that offers multiple exit IPs for its servers. If two people connect to the same server, they will usually end up with different public IPs. With only 578 servers (compared to Proton VPNโs 20,000), this kind of vertical scaling makes sense to avoid cramming too many users onto one IP, which would be a problem on sites with overzealous IP blocks and ratelimits.
The council says it like a few poo-bag-leaving dog lovers have each stuffed in thousands of votes, but aren't shared IP addresses just the normal way that ISPs work? Don't they just rotate a pool of addresses among their customers?
I'm not a networking expert, but I feel like I know a teensy bit more than whoever evaluated the survey responses ๐ค
Need to check whether or not an IP address belongs to a known VPN service, the tor network, or proxy and scraping services?
Our Cabal Stealth Detector tool takes an IP and returns detection flags, provider/hosting info, and some basic temporal data via the ProxyCheck.io API. Bookmark it and give it a spin the next time you need some quick IP data!
