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.

Reviews about "Technical"
7 reviews"I would go for Mulvad, because it integrates with Tailscale."
"Overall probably mullvad because of socks proxies and IPv6."
"@SymoneBeez just run tailscale on desktop and use that as exit node. you can also add on mullvad for $5/mo as exit node through tailscale. use the pi to run pihole instead or don’t even get one."
"...is0real just try to join if you get an error like "network unreachable" you don't have ipv6 address use cloudflare warp or an ipv6 enabled vpn like mullvad"
"...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."
"Currently working on a PoC that uses a mixture of tethering and hotspots with mullvad + tailscale to build an android based decentralized network... Feel like its going to be needed soon... https://t.co/E1jdEww5zt"
"@stolinski I’m curious on the Mullvad part, is it that you get VPN + Tailscale in 1 connection? Versus having to choose to be on Mullvad OR Tailscale ? Thanks!"
