    I am dissapointed that my VPN is getting involved in US politics. This is not something I want for this kind of service. I dont want to debate US politics here. That being said, I cancelled my annual autorenew for April and I would like some recommendations. Originally I was deciding between Mulvad and Proton. I’ve also seen some people in this thread using Tuta? I am in Europe and just want a service that prioritizes anonyminity and data protection. I don’t know how the dust will settle on all this Proton stuff. What would you all recommend for a provider?

      I was a Mullvad user until they dropped support for port forwarding, something I needed on a daily basis. Then I moved to Air Vpn. All things considered, Mullvad is a great experience, and I completely recommend it.

      I’ve used mullvad before and it was a great experience. As far as anonymity goes, I don’t think you can do any better than mullvad where you even have privacy friendly payment options. That said, I haven’t used proton VPN so I’m not sure how they compare feature-wise

      So apparently mullvad and windscribe are the best ones people use.

      And I am using windscribe no problem.

      It is however not as good integrated in Linux as nordvpn. But it’s a lot cheaper.

        I don’t look into VPNs often but I have used PIA (Private Internet Access)for years because their prices were cheap. I integrate them into Linux using OpenVPN. Is there anything I am missing out on not using mullvad or windscribe?
