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.
Strengths

- No email required
- Anonymous payment options
- Fast speeds (especially with WireGuard)

- Trusted “no-logs” reputation

Weaknesses
- Streaming can be hit or miss
- Port forwarding no longer supported
- Can feel pricey for a basic VPN
- Some apps/services may block it

Reviews about "Audit Verified"
15 reviews"@elhombre_negro @JOKAQARMY1 YES. People who have any experience know that Mullvad is the best. They have been court-tested to NOT log, and they don't advertise. Any VPN company that advertises is most certainly trash."
"...good VPN providers run such a large profit margin as-is that they don't need to sell your data. Still good to minimize the data you give them though. Mullvad is the best because you don't have to give them any personal info whatsoever, and they are audited no logs."
"@grimwolden5339 @Artemisfornow Mullvad is the only one that I know for sure keep zero logs, proven by police records. All other VPNs I've looked into say they don't but do. Do you know any other good ones @grimwolden5339"
"@BasilTheGreat Better yet.. Download a VPN, pick a Swiss one like ProtonVPN or Swedish like Mullvad.. Five Eyes (UK+US+mates) can’t just poke about and grab logs.. Audited no-logs policy actually holds up .. Real privacy move .."
"@MittensAnon @ProtonMail Use Mullvad VPN. Exoneration by subpoena, or what we like to call “the best surprise audits”. Use Tutanota instead of Proton."
"@mattRlive @obscuravpn Mullvad's "no-log" policy was proven in a police raid though...they cant..."
"This is a sham since Mullvad is the only one confirmed by subpoena that it does not store data"
"Mullvad VPN @mullvadnet keeps passing security audits! 🙏"
"@windscribecom Sure; But you can grab one like Mullvad which has specific, independent checks to confirm nothing's saved."
"@JOKAQARMY1 @windscribecom @mullvadnet do research, proven in court and in audits. mullvad was raided, had nothing windscribe was in court for 2 years, had nothing. windscribe old server was taken, had nothing. audits showed no logs"
"@windscribecom @brokebrah Because mullvad passed multiple independent audits and windscribe actually doesn't work at all for me, even with Circumvent Censorship turned on😭"
"...y VPNs out of China (top results in Google and Apple stores) however saying that this is universally true is a big lie. VPNs like Windscribe, IVPN, Mullvad and maybe even ProtonVPN operate differently. All apps are open source, the services have been audited (multiple times), and in some cases had their time in court to prove what they preach. We certainly did. Big names you hear on every Yout..."
"@sinofrebellion @ChiefJdgLampkin @iamwilsxn Yes, as does Mullvad, NordVPN, ObscuraVPN. Do some research as each have differing levels of speeds, end point servers and other value add features. All are no logs, independently audited and have good support."
"@DevBySami @JustWantToQ1 @IntCyberDigest most of them yup anless there is 3rd party yearly audits or police raid tested like mullvad lol"
"Interestingly, PrivacyTools still recommends NordVPN as its top pick on its VPN page (as of January 2026), alongside Surfshark, ProtonVPN, and Mullvad. However, the site now operates more like a commercial/affiliate driven platform, with prominent affiliate links and promotions. For beginners just starting their privacy journey, this can be confusing or even counterproductive - recommending heavil..."
