There's way too much hype over VPN Providers, but do not forget, you are routing all your traffic through their servers

As a general advice, if a VPN provider keeps logs of your activity, does not allow you to pay with crypto, and generally spends way too much on youtube ads is probably not an ideal choice.

Do not follow any advice/recommendation blindly, do your own research on which one offers the best service for your own needs.

I switched to Torguard and have gotten MUCH better speeds than I do with Proton and marginally better speeds than Mullvad. I had issues setting up port forwarding, but it was user error and Torguard customer support is next fucking level so I got that taken care of.

Overall, no complaints so far.

They also accept crypto payments, however there is an email requirement.

Been using TorGuard for 2 years. My only complaint is that there was this once they insisted it was a client side issue for one of the servers in my home country. I was so pissed off because it was slow and disconnecting all the time and only on that server.

Switched to Mullvad and loved it until port forwarding was removed.. but now I’m back to TorGuard reluctantly. The customer support didn't want to accept the possibility that their servers were going through some issues.. didn’t even bother to check just because the server was online so it had to be client side but ever other server worked perfectly.
