I currently use ExpressVPN and find it ok. In the past I’ve used Mullvad and AirVPN and tbh I think they were all fine.
However, I would probably trust a provider more if there has been an actual case where police tried getting the logs and the VPN provider gave them nothing.
For me I really distrust NordVPN because this provider is just so overshilled everywhere - like even on national TV NordVPN have ads, which for me is just a red flag.
Curious here to know what the consensus here is about the different VPN providers.

I use Mullvad and I like it but I’m not too advanced with my usage.
Proton or mullvad.
Your gut reaction about Nord is correct. They completely mishandled a breach a few years ago and never did anything to even attempt to regain trust. I care more about the transparency here than I do about the attack itself.

Valuable lesson in not buying 69 years super discounted plans.

@whale FAFO is how peasants get educated since good info is hard to come buy or outright is not available. we are always step behind unless people actively get involved in communities but even then…

One strike against nordvpn is they will give you a deal on a three year purchase then put you on an expensive annual plan and charge you a couple months before the three year purchase lapses. I had to threaten a charge back on my credit card for them to refund their annual subscription charge.
Mullvad has had some awesome projects recently.
Proton have been trying to drive a privacy orientated ecosystem and an alternative to the big three.
Both deserve your money. Great companies
Mullvad got raided in sweden not sure if recently but they have a post about it.
They complied with the law and provided nothing as they don’t store logs is my understanding but after a quick circle jerk Swedish pigs fucked right off. I think they posted the docs
The comments here are clear. Mullvad is the champion. Mullvad, what is best in life? “To evade your enemies’ servers, see their tracking wilt before you, and to hear the lamentation of the blocked ads.”
The securest VPN is the one that you can control. I’ve been using OpenClash on my router, and if anything ever happen, I can just destroy the droplet on my VPS server.
How about Mozilla’s VPN? Is it not just Mullvad under the hood? I ask because I use Mullvad, but I would also like to support Mozilla.
Yes they are a reseller/rebranded Mullvad, literally no difference. Servers and performance are identical.
Are there any comments or thoughts on how effective vpn’s are these days aside from curcumventing region restrictions? With fingerprinting and pixel tracking and more, are vpn’s losing their standing as a modern day online security centric option?

Mullvad gets my vote as the goat. I’ve tried Proton and I get half the speed. No port forwarding is the only issue.
I’ve tried Proton and I get half the speed
I’m jealous
To clarify, Protons’ free tier is already enough to get the most out of my bandwidth.
I’m using Mullvad through Tailscale now. Works OK. I think Proton has a free plan
Proton does have a free plan but it’s very limited
So partly proprietary, lol ;D
Which part?
Tailscale, isnt it?
I believe, if you use Headscale (https://github.com/juanfont/headscale) as your server, and just the CLI, it’s all open source.
Thanks!
Nice!
Mullvad is the best
Windscribe made an interactive VPN Relationship Map if you’re interested, besides listing all the connections between companies if you click on a provider it should list any publicly available cases where the logs handed over.
