I've been using Mullvad for the past few months. Have not had many issues with it aside from the 5 device limit and the removal of port forwarding. I'm currently looking at Private Internet Access as a potential replacement. It looks like it offers 10 device limit and port forwarding included with the price.

Anyone using PIA? How's the experience?

Edit: Probably should have mentioned, feel free to offer any other recommendations, I'm not attached to, or against any specific recommendations. I would like it to have a GUI available on Linux though if possible.

I use PIA currently because it was cheap and I wanted something easy to use mostly for streaming reasons. It's fine, not great, not awful. Connection drops more than I would like. I attribute that to Comcast knowing their IP addresses and dropping traffic in an attempt to catch any leaks. They got bought out by an iffy company not too long ago, and I plan to move to mullvad once this sub runs out

Mullvad is getting rid of port forwarding on July 1st so if you torrent you may want to look elsewhere.

I started with PIA and dropped them when the new owners took over. Moved to Mullvad which I've been happy with but now had to cancel due to port forwarding. I'm on AirVPN now and it's been working fine so far and has port forwarding, but it's only been a week or so of usage.
