Is that bad, or good?

Mullvad make sure you are totally anonymous, from the payment system to using their servers

Mozilla is a 3rd party with their own account system and payment system, that means you are traceable, you need to register to mozilla

Mullvad doesn't have any account system, and you can pay using cash

is it good, is it bad? it's up to you to decide based on the provided informations

for mozilla neither, for mullvad probably good, i think many trust the mozilla brand more than mullvad

mullvad is an average vpn provider

also its important to note, that many question that VPNs provide any security at all , i think for 7 dollars you pay their email relay and phone masking seem like the more interesting feature and value

> mullvad is an average vpn provider

I was under the impression that mullvad was best-in-breed. A lot of bad VPN companies running around these days and Mullvad is a clear HN favorite.

Mullvad UX is pretty sweet - I especially like how they don't force signups, and still let you open ports.

I wish there was a premium tier to let you pay for more bandwidth though, the fact that down speeds are capped at 300MBPS and up speeds much less made it not really usable for me

I have never experienced this cap. I downloaded at gigabit last time I used it.

Problem is Mullvad is too reputable. I find everything is blocked as their IPs are very well known and on all lists.

average? Have you read this? [1] I think they do a lot more then other VPN providers!

To name a few:

- no logging (no hdd in their servers even!)

- pay with cash (via post)

- audit of their infra
