ProtonVPN even has a pretty good free tier without bandwidth limits.

I'll also add 2 more:
IVPN - Nearly same as Mullvad.
AirVPN - Offers up to 5 forwarded ports without costing a lot.

IVPN - Nearly same as Mullvad.

do they use quantum secure encryption?

Yep: https://www.ivpn.net/knowledgebase/general/quantum-resistance-faq/

You also don't need to sign up, just like with Mullvad, and you can even pay in cash, just like with Mullvad.

Cool, they also support privacy coins, though they're a little more expensive than Mullvad ($6/month, only two devices), unless you commit to a longer-term contract.

Thanks!
