  • Increase the OpenVPN receive and send buffers from 524288 to 1048576 bytes (1MiB).
  • Make the log, cache, settings and RPC address directories configurable via the following
    environment variables: MULLVAD_LOG_DIR, MULLVAD_CACHE_DIR, MULLVAD_SETTINGS_DIR and
    MULLVAD_RPC_ADDRESS_PATH.

macOS

  • The installer changed from dmg to pkg format.
  • The daemon is installed as a launchd daemon and started on install and on boot.
  • Move daemon logs to /var/log/mullvad-daemon/, settings to /etc/mullvad-daemon/ and cache to
