Unfortunately, this is blocked at many places of work because of the domain, unlike DDG
I am curious, why would a workplace block the mullvad.net domain? Or is it rather a whitelist thing?
Many workplaces use a corporate firewall, and on the admin panel, they can enable-disable categories of websites, like "Porn", "Adult themes", "Gambling", "Social", "Video streaming", "AI", etc. One of the categories could be "VPN", *.mullvad.net can fall into it, and it could be that they disabled that category. At many workplaces, it's against the rules to circumvent the company's monitoring, and so, many of such technologies are banned.
Which is a killer because so many developer tools are on “naughty” domains (eg .dev and .ai) which are automatically blocklisted
I don't think that .ai is automatically filtered in this case, it's more of a case by case basis. But it's killer nevertheless. "Adult themes" for example is a large umbrella at OpenDNS, and for example I wanted to check the lyrics of a song I was listening to, and it was hosted on darklyrics.com. Nope, couldn't visit, because it's Adult Themes.

Lol doesn’t matter, my company won’t let me install anything not whitelisted anyway. The whitelist: The blacklist: *
IDK, why do some workplaces ban Steam domain? Or block Mozilla but not Chrome?
IT people are weird.
Yes blocked at mine I now see. Guess I've moved up a bit more on that "watch this guy" list.
I don't know how you'd exactly handle it, but an NSFWCP (Not Safe For Work Cybersecurity Policy) tag for some links would be nice.
