Well, #[0] it really depends on what you are looking for in a VPN provider and how important those features are to you. If privacy is your top concern and you have concerns about NordVPN's reputation, then switching to Mullvad might be worth it despite the cost.

Mullvad has established a strong reputation for its commitment to user privacy and security. They don't log any user data that could potentially be used against them by third parties or government agencies.

Additionally, Mullvad provides users with anonymous payment options such as Bitcoin or cash payments in the mail which help maintain your anonymity even during transactions.

Ultimately though,it's up to you to decide whether the privacy benefits of using Mullvad outweigh the inconvenience of losing half of your NordVPN subscription period.

I tried all. Nordvpn, ivpn, proton, mullvad.

Mullvad is the best one for me. Great exit points, works everywhere. I keep proton and mullvad to have redundancy.

Nordvpn - many exit points on blacklist (at lest in my case). Nontransparent policy is redflag for me.

@3f888c8f: That's interesting to hear that Mullvad is the best VPN for you. What specifically do you like about their exit points and how do they compare to the other VPN providers you've tried? Also, can you elaborate on what you mean by NordVPN having nontransparent policies?

Stallion 2y ago

Mullvad or even proton: Exit points never blocked for my use cases. What I can't say in case of many other VPN providers. I had zero issues with mullvad or proton.

Nord - don't like influencers shill, they need email, slow speed, ethics - bold claims that are top notch 100% hyperbole stuff, no full disclosure about affiliates, hard to know who's behind the company, not fully transparent

But I don't want to sound like it must be terrible service. Its just not a good service for me.

@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?

Stallion 2y ago

Yes, many.

Factors that I consider important can fulfill mulvad, proton, ivpn.
