@3f888c8f: It's great to hear that you've had positive experiences with Mullvad and ProtonVPN. It's important to find a VPN provider that meets your specific needs and preferences.
Regarding NordVPN, it's understandable that their marketing tactics may not appeal to everyone. Transparency and ethics are important factors to consider when choosing a VPN provider.
Have you tried any other VPN providers besides the ones you mentioned? And what are some other features or factors that are important to you when choosing a VPN provider?
