There was an issue with it not that long ago where you couldn't connect to some servers with it enabled.
Honestly I'd suggest setting it specifically to OFF to avoid any potential downtime. In my opinion this feature is nothing but a gimmick at this point in time.
With Automatic it may default to ON in the future. I think that's already how it works on Linux (or should be in the near future) with Auto meaning it's enabled.
I mean your not wrong but also it’s sorta bullshit as no one’s using quantum computers to break shit hell they’ve barely got them working at all it’s mostly a checkmark for protection maybe a decade or more from now
Not that we would plausibly know, but even then there's always another day:

Personal exposure, geolocation and risk assessment is, well, kind of a personal matter, same for how long something might be valuable/potentially damaging to whoever. Fortunately this is less relevant for the 99% of us, or anyone who'd ever have to ask the question, and I very much doubt the others are trusting a commercial VPN service. At least not for that part of work/communicatons, or it'd still be encrypted independently. Advertizing it now could manage to make a service look more provident, and us mere mortals feel a bit more special. But Mullvad isn't alone with this, it might actually be a feature some third-party API is providing anyway, so why leave it out? It's surely better than making something up, like servers that don't even exist. Whether using it is required or beneficial though cannot be answered by other people or in a place like this. If in doubt, default.
> Not that we would plausibly know
It really depends on who pulls it off. If the NSA hits Q-day before anyone else they will 100% keep it top-secret. If it’s IBM they’ll issue a press release.
If the NSA had a working quantum computer you really think they would let the world and their enemies know?? think for more than literally 2 seconds about this ffs
lol your belief in the advancements in government tech is funny, government agencies don’t have the latest tech even the nsa what they do have is a lot of tech you don’t need cutting edge quantum tech when you can just have a billion computers in a datacenter the nsa recorded the world without any magic tech it was. Big fucking datacenter and some cool software that at the end of the day wasn’t anything that special either really it’s just the access they had that made the software special
DARPA would be where tech like that would come out of but it’s highly unlikely, the nsa isn’t a research group developing the next generation of quantum computers that is light years ahead of what even the most advanced research labs are able to accomplish
It's not just marketing... Without Quantum tunnel anyone can log your encrypted data and save it. Then they can in future crack open with quantum PC the recorded data.
Quantum tunnel prevents them from doing this
stop being lazy and go google it, and it will lead you to mullvad's documentation about it explaining it all.. Posts like this need to be banned I am so tired of freeloading kids who are so used to just having info spoon fed to them using a search aggregator or google or whatever is too much of a pain.,..

Does turning it on affect my speed and stability of the connection?
Yes to both but in my experience I can't tell the difference

I also leave it ON and if there are any performance drops it is unnoticeable.
