My subrsiption with surfshark is ending soon and I was wondering if there was something better around the same price. There are a lot of ads about many VPNs but a lot of them don’t look so “safe and private” as they want you to think so it’s hard to really figure it out. I don’t want to spend too much since I don’t use them very often but I kinda like the “change catalog of netflix” thing and to be safe while doing some “”“”“”“shady”“”“”" stuff
MullvadVPN is great. It’s a no-bullshit VPN.
I believe it does have an issue surrounding their disabling port forwarding, which becomes problematic if you try to torrent, or so I understood.
They are A+ on privacy and transparency, that being said.
They have recently removed support for port forwarding. That won’t stop a user being able to torrent but it will stop seeding and will affect discoverability and speed somewhat.
Has no negative impact on their privacy features
Thanks for the correction and adding more information! I’ve considered using it, hence my quick search and vague information about it.
Not being able to seed is a bit of a deal-breaker for me, but that’ll depend from one person to the other.
Another vote for Mullvad. You can pay by cash, vouchers (in some countries) or Monero for total privacy.
I wonder how many chickens it would take to mail them for a month of service
When I went on a torrenting spree, I trusted Mullvad enough to pay with my real name PayPal account.
Yeah, I love mullvad. I don’t use my VPN every month, so the low monthly cost, and the privacy friendly purchase methods, are big pluses.
