What the Community Says
Mullvad has a really strong reputation for privacy, and it’s one of the few VPNs people trust when they say “no logs.” It’s also loved for letting you sign up without an email and pay in very private ways (even by mail), plus it avoids the whole influencer/affiliate marketing vibe that turns some folks off. Day to day, people often describe it as fast and stable, especially with WireGuard, and solid for general browsing and torrenting.
The biggest downside is that it’s not the best pick if streaming is your main goal—some people run into services like ESPN or other apps not working reliably. There are also complaints about features changing over time (like port forwarding being removed), which can be a dealbreaker for certain setups. And while many call the price fair, others feel it’s a bit expensive for a “simple” VPN if you’re not specifically buying it for privacy-first features.

"Welp, I tried the other options. Mullvad was safe yes, but expensive and limited in function. Protonvpn wouldn't let me redeem the student discount and their support took a long time to reply by weeks. It only left me the option of the chea..."
"Np, just a TLDR. I found Mulvad too expensive for a vanilla service. Went to protonvpn and want to redeem student disount. But had trouble, and customer support and I went back and forth for weeks. So I just went with SS with 2 year plan. I..."
