Guide verified and working on November 8th 2020.
First you need to login with your own Mullvad account:
After login you can go to this page OpenVPN config file.
On that page select Android/Chrome OS as the platform and select the country you want to use to connect to. For this example we select Sweden and All cities:
Then download the zip archive.
Unzip the downloaded config somewhere on your pc. You should have a file mullvad_se_all.ovpn
Mullvad intentionnally does not participate in an affiliate program – which is a hard temptation to avoid in this industry. I'm glad to give kudos to companies that are willing to sacrifice a little 'easy money' to not contribute to the plague of irresponsible and unethical advertising that rains down on theirs and other companies. Mullvad VPN – If you're looking for a VPN service that is affordable, offers a decent amount of features and is also quite secure, then Mullvad is all that you need. Right from the moment you visit their website, you'll know that Mullvad is a well-built prod. Mullvad allows five simultaneous connections per account. Compared to some of the best VPN service providers, five is the average amount. There are VPNs that offer an unlimited number of connections but, honestly speaking, most users will never need to use more than two to three devices at the same time. Mullvad was founded in 2009 purely with the ambition of upholding the universal right to privacy - for you, for us, for everyone. And not only that, we want to make Internet censorship and mass surveillance ineffective.
Mullvad Vpn Review
Now in your Synology DSM 6.x NAS go to Control Panel -> Network -> Network Interface and select 'Create VPN Profile'.
Then select 'OpenVPN (via importing a .ovpn file)' and click Next.
There you chose a Profile name (something like 'Mullvad'),
fill in your username (which is your Mullvad accountnumber)
and as password fill in just the letter: m.
Then select the mullvad_se_all.ovpn file you just edited as 'Import .ovpn file'.
So it will look like this:
Click next.
Then click Next and select all 3 items (unless you want 1 of them to be deselected, it's your choice but to use it in Download Station you need to select at least the 1st and 3rd option!) and lick OK.
Now select the Connection and click on Connect. And…….it should work (it can take a minute or 2 to connect so be patient)!
Testing:
Then download the zip archive.
Unzip the downloaded config somewhere on your pc. You should have a file mullvad_se_all.ovpn

Testing:
You can test this by opening Download Station and adding this link to download:
magnet:?xt=urn:btih:09bc8e28f500d92d7f265f963e36424a209a444f&dn=checkmyiptorrent&tr=http://34.204.227.31/checkmytorrentipaddress.php
It comes from this website (so you can trust the link I give you :)): https://torguard.net/checkmytorrentipaddress.php
Mullvad Vpn Download
Just click on the + in your download station, select Enter URL and enter the url:
Click OK and start downloading the file. While downloading go to the Tab 'Tracker' and you should see there the ip address of your VPN provider as Status!
If you don't use a VPN on your pc you can double check that it has a different ip address, for instance on: https://whatismyipaddress.com/.
Now you know it's using properly your VPN provider.
You can also download a large torrent like a Linux distro (https://cdimage.debian.org/debian-cd/current/amd64/bt-dvd/ bottom of the page) and meanwhile look at the status of your VPN connection. You should see a lot of up/download activity while it's downloading the file.
If above guide is not working you could try the old method which should also still work.
See this guide!
