I don't use VPNs in general, but I did give Mullvad a try for a month because my friend had been talking about it. It's simple to use and offers pretty much everything you might want from a VPN. They also take privacy VERY seriously. You can literally pay them in cash, if you want literally no digital footprint from your Mullvad purchase. It's pretty neat.

I'll have to mention though, I'm not a big VPN expert, but my experience was positive. I'm sure you'll get more technical answers from other people.

    To add to this: unless I've missed some, Mullvad seems to be the only VPN provider that doesn't take your data at account creation. You are assigned a random account number. That's it. No username, email, birthdate, etc.

    I heard an interview once with one of their umm... founders? Tech guys? IDK.

    Anyway he said their philiosphy is to collect the minimum amount of data required to provide the service. And no more.

    I wish ALL co's practiced that. Most are the exact opposite. Collect everything even if totally unrelated to the service.
