Privacy Pros: Privacy friendly frontend for Google searches. No-logs policy.

Privacy Cons: It is possible to correlate Mullvad VPN account numbers with search querries. Code is proprietary. Relies on Google and/or Brave search upstream, which are both privacy-hostile on their own.

Privacy Tips: Mullvad relies on not knowing their users via their no-logs policy. Using their VPN and search engine at the same time gives them the means to know more about you. It is recommended to use Mullvad Leta with a different VPN, or Mullvad VPN with a different search engine, but not both together.

Mullvad Leta uses the Google Search and Brave Search APIs as a proxy and caches each search for 30 days. When a user inputs a web query, the service checks if it has a cache of the search before making a call to the Google Search or Brave Search API. The service was initially only accessible to devices that had Mullvad VPN turned on, before being opened to the general public on 4 March 2025.
