Support will be removed on both client and server side.

The process of removing OpenVPN from our app starts today and may be completed much earlier.

I doubt it. Portmaster has a relatively small share of users, and I bet it would be a waste of their resources to try to pin down a bug that is outside the scope of their client's normal functionality.

Best option is to try to fix it yourself and submit a pull request or hope somebody else does it.

Thank you for the tip. It is not necessarily a bug is my understating is that mullvad controls DNS for pirvacy/security issue. So it makes sense from mass market perspective. So this would be more of a feature request.

Never thought of trying to do myseld. I am not an IT guy but FAFO always been my MO lol
