The Tor Project announced it will continue its technical collaboration with Mullvad following backlash over a political donation made by a Mullvad co-founder. Rather than ending the partnership, Tor says it will impose clear limits on the relationship after a review that included community discussions, a staff survey, and financial scenario planning.

Mullvad announced it will shut down its public DNS-over-HTTPS servers, which it has operated since 2022, and redirect support to Quad9 instead. The company said running a privacy-focused public DNS service is highly specialized work best left to Quad9's dedicated team, and it will now fund Quad9 rather than duplicate its efforts. Mullvad Browser users on default settings will be automatically switched to Quad9, while manual configurations must be updated before November 2, 2026.
