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.

"... about it. In my opinion, it’s basically bloatware. I seriously doubt their VPN is truly no-logs. Mullvad, on the other hand, costs around $6 a month, doesn’t log anything, and focuses on real privacy. Norton Antivirus is pretty much us..."

"..., Mullvad, Surfshark, etc.)? * Is the NordVPN hate justified, or is it mostly outdated/misinformation at this point? Any up‑to‑date, real‑world feedback from r/webmastertools would be hugely appreciated."
"...e company should be so different), then Mullvad probably isn't worth it to you since you'll be paying three times as much in the same period - but it is among the most trusted VPN's for privacy. I guess it depends on what you're torrenting...."
