They also have a flat 5 euro per month rate, which hasn't changed in 15 years.

They also assign you a number instead of requiring an email.
Also they don't have any passwords. Their accountnumbers are in some ways early passkeys.
The German email provider mailbox.org allows this as well.
I've been seriously thinking about moving my stuff mailbox.org. It sounds better and better.
Didn't know mullvad is Swedish, cool. Wonder how they compare to NordVPN? Not an expert and I felt like the rabbit hole got deeper and deeper trying to make a proper purchase decision before committing to a specific VPN...
I used NordVPN initially, switched over to Mullvad and haven't switches back in 2+ years. It's pretty much on par in terms of performance, and is more privacy focused than Nord
Does Mullvad offer port forwarding?
It used to, it doesn't anymore unfortunately
No it does not. I wish they did.
Noted! Mull has also been mentioned way more often in privacy focused communities I noticed.
Nordvpn does too much advertising to be legit
Yeah they have a pretty widespread ad campaign. Never tried them though, wondering if it is all marketing or is it good?
I've always used Mullvad or Proton, no experience with Nordvpn
Okay so I'm getting quite good vibes from Mullvad (already had a good impression). Guess I'll give it a buy especially now that I know it's Swedish!
Late to the party but i went from expressvpn > nord > mullvad and then have been with mullvad for a few years now.
I know mullvad works because it breaks a lot of sites that dont like that they cant identify me / are blocking mullvads external IP's. Nord's ad campaign and ease of use always felt vaguely 'too good' to feel like i was really obfuscated (although i know that doesnt make my gut feeling correct either)
Either way, yeah mullvad is amazing, cheap, and hasnt given me a single reason yet to question it.
Hope the same goes for you!
I have looked exactly at those three options and the comparison table I made started to get overwhelming. I really appreciate the review and experiences and am convinced I'll go with mullvad. Thank you!
