I've been using Nord, and I'm on the fence about switching to either Proton or Mull. I'd like to hear how people chose one or the other
Just in case you don't know, you should do an internet search for "nordvpn data breach." I'm not saying you should switch, or that Nord is bad, but you should at least be aware that this situation occurred and it has been a consideration for a lot of privacy first type people ever since.
