What beta program does

When enabled:
  • You’ll receive notifications about beta releases in the app
  • You can opt to install beta versions before they’re generally available
  • Helps Mullvad test new features before stable release
When disabled:
  • You’ll only see notifications for stable releases
  • No beta versions will be offered for installation
Enabling beta notifications does not automatically install beta versions. You’ll still need to manually approve any updates.

Configuration file

This setting is stored in the daemon’s settings file:
  • Linux/macOS: /etc/mullvad-vpn/settings.json
  • Windows: C:\ProgramData\Mullvad VPN\settings.json
The setting is persisted across daemon restarts.

Exit status

  • 0 - Success
  • 1 - Daemon error or invalid argument
  • version - Check current and available versions
