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.

"Well looks like they keep their promises and do not keep your data. That is why we use mullvad. I guess there really is nothing they can do, you were just really unlucky and someone guessed your account number? Unless you already put a lo..."
"Been using Mullvad for a while and it just quietly does its thing – no accounts, no emails, speeds are fine for daily stuff. Streaming is hit or miss but privacy wise it feels way less sketchy than most."
"Mullvad is great, proton requires a registered account which can be a problem, especially if the isp blocks the domain (like mine, I cant use proton VPN), mullvad just needs the auto generated account number, no email or anything"

"Sadly that is kind of the tradeoff with Mullvad. From everything I have read and seen, if you lose the account number there is no recovery option because they do not tie it to any personal info."
