# [[Mullvad]] Networking Resources
Since the Mullvad mobile and desktop apps support [[Shadowsocks]] natively, this page is oriented towards setting up Mullvad on a router and/or circumventing the [[Great Firewall]].
## Router Resources
### (FAQ, Index) [Routers FAQ](https://mullvad.net/en/help/tag/connecting-routers-mullvad)
> Certain routers block Mullvad's website and API, and calls it "malware". Some routers from Asus and TP-Link include a DNS filter from Trend Micro which blocks Mullvad because using Mullvad will prevent their filter from working. To turn it off follow these instructions. ASUS: Go to AiProtection > Network Protection > turn off "Malicious Sites Blocking". TP-Link: Go to HomeCare or Security > Antivirus > turn off "Malicious Content Filter". Some Verizon Fios routers contain McAfee Home Network Protection which can also block Mullvad. In that case turn off Parental controls.
