curl: (23) client returned ERROR on write of 5267 bytes
I get this error, anyone experience this?
How are you trying to install it? From their website or through the AUR?
From their website. It says to copy and paste into the terminal, when I did I got that error.
Don’t do that, and don’t just randomly copy commands from any website. 
There are various mullvad packages in the AUR. Use your package manager to select and install what you want.

Okay, thank you.
How would I locate the Aur? Just to make sure I know exactly where I am going?
Believe I found it.
I couldn’t find any packages on the AUR.
Open up your package manager — it is called “Add/Remove Software” in your system menu — and open up its Settings dialog. Enable the AUR, and then refresh the packages list. Then, look for “Mullvad”, and you will be presented with whatever related packages you might be interested in.
If possible — you will be able to tell this by looking at the package name — go for a package whose name ends in -bin, because those are precompiled packages. Otherwise, the package will be compiled from sources on your local machine, and this can take quite some time, depending on the package.

Never do that.
Quite apart from the fact that if you are using Manjaro, and in fact a lot of other Linux OSs, the website often assumes Ubuntu, is the only OS other than Mac and Windows.

Mullvad isn’t working that way on an Arch based distribution.
If you are using AUR, there are two packages available
mullvad-vpn
mullvad-vpn-bin
Normally you are good to use the “bin” version. I have it running on all my devices since years that way.

Yes I recommend the -bin version, it’s what I use on my computers, well actually the 2 Manjaro ones. The Ubuntu based computer has the Ubuntu Package.

AUR is not for everyone, you need to know what you’re doing.
The package itself downloads the offical deb version and make it available on Arch based devices. I didn’t find any suspicious things in the pack file.
Should be safe to use.

Even better 
I download from their website, for all distributions, extract and run start-mullvad-browser.desktop, works fine
same for tor
That’s how you do it in Microsoft Windows. That’s not how you do it in GNU/Linux.
Microsoft habits are going to get you into trouble sooner or later. This is UNIX, not DOS on steroids.

oops, I was understanding the browser, not the vpn… 
Same thing, Señor.

Perhaps you’ve heard of a search engine? 
There are quite a few available nowadays. It’s quite amazing, in fact. The whole wealth of human knowledge is at one’s fingertips…
…however, the Netscape can be hard to Navigate. Asking questions along the way is of course welcomed and acceptable.
When I was a wee lad, I had to go to the public library and use the Dewey Decimal System…and read books! 
To be fair, there was no way you could have possibly known which Mullvad product @ExodusDesolation had trouble with since it still has not been clarified.
Mullvad VPN, yes. Mullvad Browser? No.

It seems I’m late to the party, but you could also add these methods…
1. Using pacman:
pacman -Ss <package-name>
2. Using pamac:
pamac search <package-name>
The latter will generate results from both the repo’s and the AUR (if enabled); just something to be aware of.
