@yochananmarqos - my mistake then, the most recent comment from you was
"@lucas: It's currently failing to build. Use mullvad-vpn-bin for now."
so I spent time looking into alternative installation methods in case an AUR package was outdated or had issues and thought I'd share. Appreciate your work on the package, thanks!
@overallup: There are no "ongoing issues" with either package that I am aware of. You do realize the binary version uses the .deb, right? Never use debtap if there is a package in the AUR.
For anyone else wondering how to install it on Arch because of the ongoing issues here and on mullvad-vpn-bin, you can use 'debtap' (https://github.com/helixarch/debtap) -- another package here on AUR -- to convert the .deb file directly from the official Mullvad github page (https://github.com/mullvad/mullvadvpn-app/releases/tag/2025.10) into something pacman can work with.
You can use a search engine to check out some discussions on various forums about converting .deb files manually as well.
@lucas: It's currently failing to build. Use mullvad-vpn-bin for now.
what's the status of this package? Is it still maintained ? When the new version will be released? Thanks
@synthead: I'm sorry, move what to what wiki entry where?
Keep in mind that both the AUR (Arch USER Repository) and Arch Wiki are created by users from the community.
This package deletes files, alters apparmor profiles, and alters systemd services when installing and uninstalling this package. This is not the Arch way of doing things.
I do not want any of this to happen by itself. Can you please move this configuration to a wiki entry so users can have more control over their system?
I ran into the issue that my rustc version was not up to date. Turns out I had installed rust via rustup, so I first had to uninstall the older version with rustup self uninstall and then run pacman -S rust, which installed the correct version. Just in case someone has the same problem.
hey, have this issue with yay :

PSA: Upstream does not support building natively for ARM64, only cross-compiling. You can use

--> ALWAYS DO A CLEAN BUILD <--
This package will verify the signature of the git tag / commit. Developer keys are available here and instructions are here. See the PKGBUILD to determine which developer key you need.
Please do not create upstream issues about the AUR package, they do not support it.
