Confusing section about services.mullvad-vpn.package = pkgs.mullvad-vpn;

Hi there,

while trying to get MullvadVPN to work (still does not), I stumbled upon the wiki page and the related forum post.

What my only question / cause for confusion is:

```

If you want to use the GUI application:

❄︎ configuration.nix

{ pkgs, ... }:

{

  services.mullvad-vpn.package = pkgs.mullvad-vpn;

}

```

I am still a nix/OS novice by any account, but from my understanding this does not make any sense, because this is for overwriting the gui package and not for “enabling” it as the text suggests or am I missunderstanding something? I wanted to double check before editing the relevant page. Daemonfire (talk) 08:13, 10 February 2026 (UTC)Reply
