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
