Yeah. Mullvad. Actually good too.

Something like $5.30/mo (forever). They take literal cash (as one of the options). WireGuard support. They actually do privacy, not just market it.

Edited to fix price estimate and clarify it isn’t just for the first year.

I jumped from Nord to Mullvad as soon as my 3 year Nord sub was up. The throughput speed is unquestionably and substantially faster with Mullvad, and they don't force me to change my password every 3 mos like Nord got all righteous about. Mullvad costs a little more, but they're better in every way, including staying out of your way.

I'm happy where I am but if I had to jump, it'd be to Mullvad.

I personally wouldn't use Nord for free.

2018 Nord's ties to Tesonet. 2019 Data breach. Repeated rewrites of site to handle false claims allegations. Endless reports of performance issues. I guess each of these things can be minimized with enough explainers but why bother?

Don't tunnel all your traffic through a VPN; only the one which can lead to civil court case with anti parency gang.

I get that. My VPN runs exclusively in a virtual machine. I'll RDP to it when I need to do VPN stuff.

Doesn't work quite well for bypassing georestrictions tbh, which is one of the main uses of a VPN
