Mullvad are the 'good VPN provider'.

They make an effort to store as little customer info as possible, including getting rid of subscriptions to reduce payment information they have to keep [1]. Despite subscriptions being a great way of getting consistent revenue.

As well as card, they allow payment in cash, crypto and quite a few others.

They have open source clients and are one of few providers with an official client on F-Droid.

They don't try to lock you in for years. It's €5 per month no matter how long you pay for.

They have regular external audits. [2]

If you read their website you'll find they focus on privacy rather than 'watching TV while you're on holiday'. [3][4]

Mozilla use Mullvad for Firefox VPN. Tailscale have partnered with Mullvad. [5]
