How to contribute to the Mullvad VPN app

The Mullvad VPN app is open sourced for many reasons, but primarily we want to

  • allow users to verify that our app functions as we claim it does, giving them the option to build it from source without having to trust our released binaries
  • receive contributions from third parties.

Filing issues

If you find a bug in the app's code, please report it on GitHub in the issue tracker. Please send all other problems or questions (those not directly related to the app's development) to support@mullvadvpn.net. This includes connection issues, questions regarding your account, and problems with the Mullvad VPN infrastructure or servers.

Submitting changes

If you would like to contribute to the development of the Mullvad VPN app, please carefully read the following sections first and then feel free to submit a pull request on GitHub.

While we appreciate your interest in helping us to improve Mullvad VPN, please understand that choosing which submitted changes to merge is fully at our discretion, based upon our development plans for the app.

Localization / translations

The app is translated and proofread via a third party company. We can't take in user improvements to the translations directly, since we can't verify their correctness. All translations have to go via the translation company. As a result, if you want to improve an existing translation, please don't edit the PO files and submit to us. Instead fill in your suggested improvement in this form, and the translation company will pick it up and process the suggestion after a while.
