Hey, if i use mullvad for private/sensitive purpouses, i also could use same mullvad vpn for other purpouses, even public stuff like socials? Or is it better to get second vpn for that?

If you’re using a VPN to hide your connections to end services from your ISP and hide your IP address (and its geolocation) from those services—usually the two main reasons to use a VPN—then **NO** , adding another VPN provider isn’t going to improve that.

Using one Mullvad account for both is fine as far as the VPN goes, since a second provider doesn’t really add separation. Where the mixing actually happens is in the browser and your accounts: if you’re logged into socials in the same browser session where you do the sensitive stuff, sites can link that together regardless of the VPN. So I’d keep the sensitive things in a separate browser or profile, and maybe reconnect or pick a different server when switching between the two. That gets you most of the benefit without paying twice.
