Mullvadshål is utomated server-hopping for Mullvad VPN for WireGuard and Linux
Project description
Mullvadshål
Mullvadshål (mullvadshal) is an automated server-hopping tool for Mullvad VPN using WireGuard on Linux. It allows you to automatically switch to different Mullvad servers at scheduled intervals, enhancing security and privacy.
Features
- Automated Server Updates: Fetches the latest Mullvad WireGuard server list.
- Periodic Server Hopping: Switches to a random Mullvad server to reduce tracking.
- Configurable Network Modes: Supports IPv4, IPv6, and dual-stack configurations.
- Persistent Configuration: Stores WireGuard settings securely.
- Lightweight & CLI-Based: Ideal for cron jobs and automation.
Installation
Ensure you have Python and WireGuard installed:
pip install mullvadshal
Or install manually by cloning the repository:
git clone https://github.com/Addvilz/mullvadshal.git
cd mullvadshal
pip install .
Usage
Authenticate with Mullvad
Before using the tool, authenticate your WireGuard interface with your Mullvad account:
mullvadshal auth
This will prompt for your Mullvad account number.
Update Mullvad Server List
To fetch the latest Mullvad WireGuard servers, run:
mullvadshal update --filter se,de,fi
This command filters servers by Sweden (SE), Germany (DE), and Finland (FI).
You can also specify a location, like se-got.
Perform a Server Hop
To switch to a new random server:
mullvadshal jump [--sudo]
Warning: Jumping servers disrupts your network connection momentarily. Jump command should generally be either run as root, or with no password sudoers configured.
Automating with Cron
To automate server updates and jumps:
- Open your crontab:
crontab -e - Add the following lines:
# Update server list daily at 3 AM 0 3 * * * mullvadshal update --filter se,de,fi # Jump to a new server every hour 0 * * * * mullvadshal jump
Troubleshooting
Ensure wg-quick is installed on your system:
For Debian/Ubuntu-based distributions (APT package manager):
sudo apt update && sudo apt install -y wireguard-tools
For RHEL/CentOS/Fedora-based distributions (RPM package manager):
sudo dnf install -y wireguard-tools # For Fedora, RHEL 8+, and CentOS 8+
sudo yum install -y wireguard-tools # For older RHEL/CentOS versions
For Arch Linux and Manjaro (Pacman package manager):
sudo pacman -S wireguard-tools
For OpenSUSE (Zypper package manager):
sudo zypper install -y wireguard-tools
- Run with
--debugto get detailed error messages. - If an error occurs during
jump, verify that the WireGuard interface is correctly configured.
