I am thinking about changing VPN, I am currently using ProtonVPN and I was thinking about changing to AirVPN (for its prices and port forwarding) or Mullvad (Everyone says it is better regarding privacy but I don’t know why).
Which one would you recommend and why? I have seen a lot of criticism towards AirVPN for being based in Italy, but if they don’t collect the data as they say they do, there shouldn’t be any problem, right?
I used to go Mullvad but the lack of port forwarding was a big issue. I’ve been with ProtonVPN since and the IPs feel much cleaner (way less blocks) and their email service is also a big plus for me. Worth paying more imo
Same here. Mullvad’s awful policy that essentially limits you to having their client installed on 5 machines was also a deal breaker for me. Sure I could have fucked around with managing keys/connections myself, but why bother? I emailed their support about how inconvenient it was, and they told me I was free to pound sand or pay them for another subscription to enjoy the convenience of having their client installed on more devices.
Proton has been great since I switched, and I see no reason to use Mullvad these days.
