They have been trying to make this a thing for a while now. Glad they are finally near the finish line!
And if anyone had doubts about their no-log policies. These guys are just great!
I just bought in to mulvad today via Tailscale, so far so good, I like it!
I love the entire process. I love that I can send them cash in an envelope with an account number on it and they'll just top it up lol. I wish every online retailer had to do what they voluntarily do.
They take Monero too which is even a stronger discrete payment.
Long time customer but since there is no port forwarding I switched to airvpn.
Same but I went with proton.
How are you finding Air in comparison?
Works stable, nothing to complain on that side. I like that you can add more than five devices, even if you cannot use more than five simultaneously. But that covers my dual boot systems perfectly without hassling auround all the time. Still got twenty ports, now its five for new customers. But I use only four. And I like the highly customizable DNS with all its filter lists for ads, trackers, and more.
What I dislike is that their app always wants root privileges, and for some reason I am not able to get the workaround running. So I use the fedora/Gnome Wireguard implementation now. And that for some odd reason the android app always closes unexpected, I think I tried everything, but nothing helps. But it works fine with the Wireguard for Android app. Never had those issues with Mullvad.
I always loved sending cash or buying voucher cards for Mullvad, but on the other hand I got now three years for less than €65,--. Wait for a sale if you want to buy a longer subscription.
Been with Mullvad a long time and it has been an excellent service.
As they have grown, their IP pools are no longer as fresh and I get Google captcha'd on hardmode, or cloudflare blocked, or other account limitations when using the service that didn't used to be there all the time now.
I wish the VPN community had a way to solve for this.
Ipv6 pools?
Yes, that may be the answer. But blocks of IPV6 can still be limited by entire subnets if security/cloud host/IT guys keep turning to this method of reducing their exposure to bad actors.
It totally had its time and place, but it's trivial to get "fresh IPs" from 4G VPN and proxy services that specialize at this (for a price), so as a security concept it's only viable if your attacker's budget is under $20.
Privacy has become a very important issue in modern society, with companies and governments constantly abusing their power, more and more people are waking up to the importance of digital privacy.
