Mullvad VPN has announced that its Android app builds are now reproducible starting with version 2025.2, allowing users to verify that the app is built from the open-source code published by Mullvad. Reproducible builds ensure that the published source code matches the distributed application and that no unintended modifications occurred during the build process. Mullvad encourages users to engage in the verification process, providing source codes and instructions on its GitHub page.

Mullvad has introduced a multihop feature in its Android application that allows users to route their internet traffic through two distinct servers, enhancing online security and privacy. This feature creates a "tunnel within a tunnel," where data is transmitted through both an entry server and an exit server. By selecting servers in different jurisdictions, users can complicate the tracing of their data. The multihop service provides a higher level of privacy and security, as adversaries would need to execute timing attacks across multiple locations if one server is compromised. Mullvad operates under robust legal protections in Sweden and follows a strict no-logs policy, ensuring user activity is not recorded or retained.
