We have previously highlighted the importance of not losing your account number, encouraging it to be written down in a password manager or similar safe location.
For the sake of convenience account numbers have been visible when users logged into our website. This had led to there being potential concerns where a malicious observer could:
- Use up all of a user’s connections
- Delete a user’s devices
From the 3rd June 2024 you will no longer be able to see your account number after logging into our website.

I did have occasional issues with using a VPN and it was clear services were somewhat suspicious about me (very aggressive use of CAPTCHAs, additional login validation etc.).
That being said, outside of netflix (circumventing region-lock), I never had any issues with outright loosing access to tech oligopoly services.
Ah okay! Yeah that’s basically my experience with Mullvad. Anyways, you can try it out and if you don’t like it just don’t pay $5 for another month. 🤷♂️
