Mullvad Review

"Operational security. A mullvad es a windscribe (nagyreszt) hasznalhatok teljesen anonim modon, pl a mullvad elfogad postai uton keszpenzes fizetest. Open source kod (mullvad), specifikusan a cenzura elkerulesere szant vpn-protokollok (mind2). Nem tartanak logokat, nem adnak ki a hatosagoknak semmit. Ellentetben pl a nordvpn-el, ahol egy data breachet masfel evig titkoltak, 2025os auditnal tele volt gyengepontokkal a kodbazisuk, es ha kell kiadjak a fiokinformacioid a hatosagoknak."

"Tuta mail är också värt att nämna, baserad i Tyskland. När det gäller VPN så är Mullvad det bästa alternativet, som är svenskt och det enda VPN-företaget vad jag vet som har en bevisad "no logs" policy när de fick besök av polisen."

"Proton VPN or Mullvad VPN are the best choices. Not owned by big companies and are privacy focused to the core!"

"Just in case I've bought a couple of accounts of mullvad VPN (Swedish) 12 months @ £60 per year. Best VPN company by far and will not cooperate with authorities, they also have a proven no logging policy. They were raided 2 years ago and police got nothing because they truly saved nothing (unlike many that say no logging, but do). Whether this is just a windbag attempt by old men or the government pushing it - the writing is on the wall. They want everything and they want to make the least amount of effort to get it (ie normal policing). They start with a little thing like banning chok..."

"Personal VIew mix with professional testing (my business does audits) **Top ones I would personally use on Linux** * Mullvad - Best combination of true privacy, service, and cost * Mozilla (uses Mullvad servers) * Proton would be higher if it had feature parity with the Windows client. **Ones I would personally avoid** * PIA (Private Internet Access): Ties to Government (Israel) * NordVPN: Had a security breach that could cause major issues and didn't notify users until it was leaked online. As someone in the business, their explanation was BS. They are also linked to Tesonet who is a dat..."

"PIA is no longer a reputable VPN service. They were bought out by an Israeli company and will 1000% sniff your traffic and will share their subscriber info to any paying entity. Nord, Mullvad, and Proton are near the top for best service. Mullvad is an absolute must if you are privacy and opsec minded. Payment options are endless and do not require any account creation. You can mail them $20 and they'll send a card to wherever you want. Some good info here for all VPNs available below. [That one privacy guy](https://thatoneprivacysite.xyz/) Fantastic guide overall! The fact the CAF still s..."

"Mullvad is by far the best VPN, and the most private and secure. Proton is maybe second. Most VPNs nowadays are sold to share your data and aid the police state, and many are Israel-based even. For the nonprofits like Mullvad and Proton, I think we should be reaching out to them, because I think they're much more responsive and sensitive to issues with privacy and authoritarian states, etc. It may simply be it hasn't been brought up before."

"Mullvad VPN based in Sweden, the best VPN with respect full privacy, they don't ask any personnal data to create an account, not even an email, nothing. Single price, 5€/month, no bullshit."

"Tailscale with Mullvad plug-in. Incredible combination"

"btw, in case anyone is paranoid about this stuff, your IP gives your location, and that's about it. if you regularly use a vpn (and chelshead should know this, since she's shilled for the worst vpn companies), it's especially non useful information. i work in moderation and have access to tools she doesn't and even i can't do much with an IP address. it can help tie together burner accounts, but again, vpns make this unreliable. tldr, be careful, don't click on sus links, use a good vpn (i rec mullvad and only mullvad), but if she gets your IP address, there's little she can actually do with..."

"Best free ones are gonna be either proton VPN or windscribe free. If you can get a paid Mullvad is only approximately €5 a month ($5.91). All of these are reputable VPNs."

"Mullvad. The one and only. Don't use trash. Perfect Privacy was quite better, but... well, they're down after 17 years. Exit-Scam, so fuck off them and use Mullvad. Works well, without any trouble"

"MULLVAD!! you can send them cash in an envelope and remain 100% anonymous if you want to. (I do not, but that is awesome)"

"Mullvad (Sweden) is as good as it gets. The team behind it is also really commited into web freedom, a bit like Tuta."

"Louder for the people in the back! MULLVAD! MULLVAD! MULLVAD!"

"Nah, Mullvad is goated"

"personally i love mullvad, its fast, even when using multi-hop, its reliable too. i have a wireguard connection up 24/7 and its rare that it drops. and the few times it has, i think it was more a problem on my router than their connection. its also reasonably priced. i used nord for a little while, but i never got anywhere near the same speed that i do with mullvad. other than that it was pretty reliable too"

"No question about it. Mullvad is hands down the best VPN. No if and or buts"

"I see you‘re new and you don’t know much about VPNs.. you don’t mention what you need it for, but lets say for privacy. Forgot them all, you only have 2 (maybe 3 if you want streaming) options. 1: Mullvad (the best one) 2: IVPN 3: Windscribe So when you want it for privacy Mullvad first, than IVPN. If you want privacy and also streaming support, than choose Windscribe. Proton is also ok, but that’s it, no other one… don’t fall for their marketing…"

"Proton gets review bombed on trustpilot by people who don't understand how VPNs work lol. Their service is actually solid, been using it for like 2 years with zero issues For email I'd go with Tuta personally - clean interface and the encryption is pretty seamless. Mullvad is the gold standard for VPN if you don't need the bundled stuff"

"Tuta’s a solid choice for email, plus their customer support is pretty responsive if you run into any issues. For VPNs, if privacy is your main concern, Mullvad is hard to beat; their no-logs policy and simplicity are really refreshing. You can't go wrong with either!"

"Mullvad is the best, most safe option so far. Those free ones are just a scam. They will sell your data out if they need to. Also, a VPN is basically like a tunnel that keeps your data safe by hiding your IP address from hackers or whoever else. It protects your identity."

"Mullvad, працює взагалі без проблем і не вимагає НІЯКИХ даних. Можна заплатити криптою"

"Or just use Mullvad for $5 a month. It is better, safer, and cheaper. Cipher is already squeezing enough money out of ignorant people."

"If you care for privacy use Mullvad. If you don’t… use Mullvad. And if you don’t want to use Mullvad then you can always use Mullvad. I hope the message has been clear. Use Mullvad"

"Mullvad is the way to go. Very stable and functional, cheap, but most importantly really privacy focused and fully transparent …"

"Mullvad or Proton are top of the list. I've never heard of Witopia but they're US based so they get a hard NO from me. Mullvad and Proton do not log activity and they prove it with 3rd party audits. I read somewhere recently that one of them, Mullvad or Proton, was raided by authorities 2x in the last couple of years. Both times they got nothing. There were no log files to be got."

"As a security professional who speaks at a lot of conferences and advises on privacy, Mullvad is the best. The ONLY other one I would recommend is ProtonVPN if you want an easier experience. The "top" VPN providers you see on advertisements are almost all owned by companies with ties to the Israeli government. Mullvad does not advertise or use paid social influencing to promote. Both have packet transformation techniques that can disguise your traffic to hide the fact you are using a VPN. I could go on and on."

"I strongly suggest Mullvad VPN. The benefits, no lock in contract, and no email address or bank card details demanded like the other VPN providers do. 5 euro's a month. AU $8.90, AU $2.225 for 1 week. I have zero problems downloading programs and movies and games using qBittorrent with a Mullvad Sydney server connected. I have volunteered as a Beta user which Mullvad requests feedback if any problems or issues occur. Mullvad has extreme integrity and transparency. I suggest you check out their website. This is a screenshot I took after the latest Beta update. I intend to be a loyal subscri..."

"In order of  preference. Mullvad  Proton  Windscribe. All 3 have valid audits. All have good security and plenty of features. Windscribe has all the bells and whistles, including some that you probably don't need. Mullvad does exactly what it says it does, and  does it day in, day out. Proton is kinda between the 2."

"I can't speak on what actual professional company's use (probably self-hosted solutions) but the most privacy respecting VPN on the consumer market is Mullvad, they never ask for your name and you can pay with all sorts of cryptocurrency and also Cash if you want. They have been audited and have a very strict no logs policy."

"I use NordVPN, but I wouldn't actually recommend it. It's just more than enough than what I need it for. I had a user ask me what are good VPNs to use and I recommended him Mullvad and Proton, while also telling him to avoid ExpressVPN. Real talk, I think Mullvad may be the best."

"Nearly all VPN providers sell your data including most paid ones. There's a reason why PIA, Nord VPN and others can sponsor half the internet's creators. This video does a great job at unpacking this and brings evidence the claims made: [https://youtu.be/1opKW6X88og](https://youtu.be/1opKW6X88og) Proton is one of the few good ones together with iVPN and Mullvad. The last one is the best one as you can physical mail them the money so there is no digital payment trail either."

"I'd recommend Mullvad VPN. They're the most privacy-respecting VPN and collect no personal information from you (you don't even make an account - they give you a 16-digit account number that you use to log in). You can even pay with cash by mail or crypto, safeguarding your anonymity. Also, there is no "subscription", you pay in advance for the time you wish to use at a rate of €5/month."

"Mulvad, proton, or nord. Mulvad is the best for privacy due to their ability to pay in relatively anonymous ways, and their no log policy. They also have the easiest to tie into homelab infrastructure due to their use of wireguard server/peers. Proton also has a no log policy but their commercial interests are suspect in my eyes at times. It does come with most proton mail subscriptions though. So depending on your degoogling journey it might be the right option for you. The other factor here though is while you're degoogling you should make an effort to not use single suites of services t..."

"Surfshark and Mulvaad are great vpn options. I have been currently using Mulvaad in my windows pc, never got any issue in these 3 months."

"NordVPN's user database has been hacked at least twice. ProtonVPN and MullvadVPN are the only one's worth trusting."

"ExpressVPN was bought by a data broker... And NordVPN was hacked at least twice. I would not use either. ProtonVPN or MullvadVPN are the only ones I trust."

"If you really do need a VPN (which, please, research if you actually need a VPN, because 90% of domestic users do not need one), use Mullvad."

"Police get called to do a wellness check, show up and avoid cameras, look through windows to see if they can see anything, and then leave. If it was a wellness check you probably would've heard them announce that when they knocked on the door. There's also a possibility a neighbor had called 911 and the location messed up, or that you were "swatted" in a sense. Being swatted is when someone calls police, seemingly from your location (or reports your location) and claims to be under attack or that you are threatening people. My advise: disable SSID Broadcast on your wifi. When you..."

"Mullvad vpn i uzivaj...nikad mi nijedna kazna nije stigla niti obavestenje. Na Nemacku mislim konkretno"

"Proton is AMAZING if you want a low effort all in one package that can replicate the loss of Google services. And objectively it is getting better and better, and the price is fair as hell HOWEVER, it's a singular company that you're trusting with your entire privacy network. So far they haven't (publicly) burned any customers, but some programs aren't open source and so you can't confirm that there isn't any government spyware or data leaks. There *probably* isn't, but you can't know that. Also, with their walled garden being as it is, if theyre ever compromised or forced to shutdown, then ..."

"The only good VPN is mullvad tbh"

"Both are good options and meet the (very sensible) criteria by PrivacyGuides: https://www.privacyguides.org/en/vpn/ The Mullvad VPN client is open source just like the IVPN client."

"Depends how much is too much hassle:) The following steps are quick, ‘set and forget’ measures. These will protect against tracking in general, not just Facebook pixel. This is assuming you want to stay with FF rather than switch browsers. One, tighten up settings in FF in the security and privacy / browser privacy settings. Click ‘custom’. Tick all the boxes down the left hand side (assuming you’re on windows), and untick ‘fix major site issues’. Block all cross site tracking cookies and set that to take effect in all windows, not just private windows. Ignore any warnings abou..."

"I suggest looking into the iOS and macOS guides by PrivacyGuides respectively to optimize the system settings: https://www.privacyguides.org/en/os/ios-overview/ https://www.privacyguides.org/en/os/macos-overview/ Surfshark was not the best idea to be honest, it's owned by the same entity as NordVPN; in general you should be avoiding Tesonet, they also have a data mining arm called Oxylabs. Three companies including Tesonet own most of the VPN market, avoid all three: https://www.cnet.com/tech/services-and-software/3-companies-control-many-big-name-vpns-what-you-need-to-know/ For VPN I woul..."

"It's not the best in terms of privacy. Mullvad and Proton VPN are the two best in this regard."

"Proton, any VPN that sponser YTers have terrible privacy policies. Air, Mullvad and Proton are the best for privacy focused. I recently moved to Proton because they are better for P2P."

"The closest I would say for that is mullvad, they're not five eyes, but they are in fourteen eyes since they're in Sweden. They don't keep logs, however, so that isn't as big of a concern. They're very vpn shaped, privacy forward, does everything a vpn should do. If you want port forwarding protonvpn seems like the best in my research though."

"Mullvad ja ProtonVPN. Protonilla on ihan kiva ilmainenkin plan jos ei ole tarvetta valita maata itse."
