    I’ve been using Mullvad for years now. I have not look back. Anyone have any better options or cheaper? Feel like I should re-evaluate my options once in a while

      I like ProtonVPN. It seems to be the only reasonably trustworthy provider that also supports port forwarding, which is crucial (IMO) when torrenting.

        My recommendations have been:

        1. Need port forwarding? ProtonVPN or AirVPN.
        2. Don’t need it? Mullvad.

        Edit: Just learned Mullvad’s founder is funding racist far right crap. New recs I’ve found:

        1. Port forwarding: AirVPN or crpytostorm.
        2. Don’t need it? IVPN.

          FYI, AirVPN is slow as hell. That being said, they don’t require an email to sign up and allow you to pay in Monero, unlike Proton

            Huh? I did a speed test with Air and it was relatively the same before and after connecting. Tbh it was just one test, I wasn’t really checking super hard. But I had it running in gluetun for my Qbittorrent and it works like a dream. Way easier to port forward too, I fucking hated Proton for swapping it every docker reload.
