Sorry for the late reply.
Per @[email protected] it depends at least to some degree on your needs. Mullvad is a popular and well-respected option (though it is the very provider rambos is alluding to because they recently removed the port forwarding feature because there was no way to implement it without negatively impacting privacy - a positive thing for privacy, but a negative thing for those who need the feature). I'm also a fan of IVPN because they open source all of their very high-quality clients (as do Mullvad) and they cater to a more technical audience. Proton has been getting some decent press recently for open sourcing their clients, but there's a rumor going around that they're actually reselling NordVPN which is one of the less reputable providers.
Happy to provide more points of interest with more context on your needs.
Thanks for the detailed reply and no problem, I know how easy it is to get busy lol.
Can you comment on the yearly price difference between the two? My only concern is everything lately is seeing price increases. Also which would you say would be best speed wise, and does either have limitations on the number of devices?
Really appreciate you taking the time to answer, because it’s so hard to choose these days.
I have now enabled email notifications 😂
Billing-wise Mullvad bills in Euro and IVPN in USD. IVPN standard (2 devices) is priced about the same as Mullvad (5 devices), or IVPN pro is about another third higher-priced but has a 7-device limit. See IVPN pricing, Mullvad pricing. Mullvad is most likely the best bang for your buck of the two.
Lol Funny you mention email notifications, I just enabled mine too.
And, thanks for the information, I’m stateside but I’ll go with Mullvad! Glad to know there’s an alternative though.
Good stuff 💯
