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.

"mullvad dns is rly fast"
"@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."
"Mullvad is solid for privacy but speeds vary by location."
"Mullvad is slower compared to proton. But its sometbing you can trust your privacy with. In most cases proton is better but mullvad is like that trustworthy neighbor who is just there for you in your time of need. It is also technically ch..."
"@nym @obscuravpn is way better than you sorry your vpn is slow i tested it twice at the start and now still sucks Mullvad with obscura on top"
"...ir own uninstall, took me hours to fix Have had no issues with their windows app I’d switch to Mullvad if I didn’t have them for a year and everything setup with PIA already. Maybe next year."
"@smspoolnet I like Mullvad a lot too. Use nord proton ipvanish as well and only thing I don’t like is speeds sometime on mull can be hell"
"I haven't tested it myself. but looking at the protocols used and amount of servers, I would say mulvad would be 10-25% slower if I had to estimate."
"Used Mullvad the past few days and it was borderline unusable. Take minutes to connect, and then takes several more minutes to load up a google search. Switched over to Letsvpn and it works instantly"
