Key Insights
Why can't I cancel a Mullvad VPN subscription like other VPNs?
Mullvad VPN does not support recurring subscriptions or auto-renewals; all payments are one-time purchases to enhance privacy by avoiding storage of payment data beyond 14 days. Since 2022, they have eliminated subscriptions to prevent logging sensitive information, so there's nothing to cancel after purchase, but access expires at the end of the paid period.[1][5]
