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.

"I switched to Mullvad for torrents since it stays fast and has never leaked on me."
"@imeesa_ @CryptoCyberia And yet I have ZERO issues with mullvad.... Werid huh. I've literally not had one single leak using mullvad across my macos, windows, or Linux computers. In fact I've not had a single issue at all. But sure keep sucking up to proton. So I did inform them. They haven't fixed it."
"@CryptoCyberia The VPN sucks and has leaked my real IP on many occasions. Zero reason to chose proton over mullvad."
"...t of answers here are mixing a few different things together, so it’s worth separating them. What Mullvad can do:Encrypt your traffic so the corporate network can’t see content (DNS, websites, streams), it can make everything look like ..."
"Im not as familiar with mullivad maybe it has its own dns. Just depends on whether it is split tunnel or full tunnel. I just use a public DNS to verify it goes around my ISP regardless. That way no one catches my queries that can tie it bac..."
