Good on you. I plan to pay for Mullvad VPN too when I can afford it again; with Monero too. Didn’t know it had an internal ad-blocker for mobile though, that’s awesome.
If you connect with openvpn you can add their custom adblocking dns to config and block everything on pc too, better yet, install openwrt on your router and install mullvad on it though openvpn with their custom dns server
Yes, you can install vpn to router however, i did not tried yet, I’ve tried to share calyx vpn and it refused to, but i think with mullvad it’s going to be okay since they have official guides how to mullvad.net/en/…/openwrt-routers-and-mullvad-vpn , I’m in the process of modding my router right now so it’s going to take some time before i can test it, it have 18.04 version of openwrt and but compiled recent version, also ram and rom chips got to be upgraded to use it properly, today i upgraded ram, but for rom chip, i gotta read memory dump and write it to new chip so I’ll do that later

I had plans to use Quad9 on my router when I get home WiFi back, and using Mullvad DNS on my Android phone, which Mullvad also blocks app trackers.
With the setup you’re suggesting, does this make the VPN be “built-in” to the router and extend the VPN service to all devices connected to it?
