Cancel Mullvad VPN Step by Step

1

Log in to your account dashboard

Go to mullvad.net and sign in. Navigate to your account dashboard or control panel.

2

Find Subscription or Billing settings

Look for Subscription, Billing, or My Plan in your account settings. Mullvad VPN usually places this prominently in the dashboard.

3

Turn off Auto-Renewal or click Cancel

Click Cancel Subscription, Turn Off Auto-Renewal, or Don't Renew. Some security products frame this as "disabling auto-renewal" rather than "canceling."

4

Confirm and check for money-back guarantee

Confirm the cancellation. Many security services including Mullvad VPN offer a 30-day money-back guarantee. If you're within that window, contact support to request a full refund.

Pro Tip

Disabling auto-renewal is not the same as canceling — you'll still have access until expiry but won't be charged again.

What Happens After You Cancel Mullvad VPN?

Your protection continues until the subscription expires

Mullvad VPN keeps protecting your device until the end of your paid period. After that, real-time protection and updates stop.

Uninstall the software when your sub ends

Once your subscription expires, uninstall Mullvad VPN and switch to a free alternative if needed. Expired security software can actually cause system issues.

Your account and license key are preserved

If you decide to come back, your license key and account are usually kept on file. You can reactivate without setting up everything from scratch.

Yes, until your subscription period ends. After that, you'll stop receiving updates and real-time protection. Consider switching to a free alternative before your subscription expires.
