There's way too much hype over VPN Providers, but do not forget, you are routing all your traffic through their servers

As a general advice, if a VPN provider keeps logs of your activity, does not allow you to pay with crypto, and generally spends way too much on youtube ads is probably not an ideal choice.

Do not follow any advice/recommendation blindly, do your own research on which one offers the best service for your own needs.

  • Does not contain non-free js in their website
  • Do not depend on google services etc.
    • Also have made major contributions to FOSS projects
  • There is no Swedish law applicable to them to share data with their goverment
  • They do NOT even allow you to create an account, you just generate a random account number, fill it up with time(monero & bitcoin & cash payment via mail allowed)
  • They also offer OpenVPN with RSA-4096 and WireGuard which uses Curve25519 and ChaCha20-Poly1305
  • Also awesome DNS protection

There are other VPN providers that offer similar stuff to mullvad, I can keep going for days.

TL;DR They do not ask you for any info that would deanonymize you & support FOSS projects
