I've used proton for a year or two now and it is fine. Great for use on my phone when I want to use public/airport wifi and it sort of kind of works with gluetun (the rotating port is annoying but it still is a forwarded port).

But I've increasingly been annoyed with Proton as a company and am looking to migrate my email/domain to fastmail in the very near future. I COULD continue to just pay for the vpn (60 USD a year is pretty reasonable) but also feel like this is a good opportunity to "shop around"

Checked the wiki and other FAQs (which all basically crib from said wiki) and they all basically boil down to proton or mullivad... except that mullivad apparently stopped allowing port forwarding which is a bit of an issue for any torrents and the like.

So are there any other good options?

Thanks

I have been happy with PrivateVPN, but I can't get a read on them.

They say no-log, but many VPNs probably lie about that. Small, based in Sweden.

I just saw on the kumo app literally just now that they got bought out by Miss Group and are no longer independent like when I started with them in 2019.

They have no strikes against them besides the not-disclosed buyout. No idea if I should switch, but they have good prices and port forwarding.

Cryptostorm. Supports port forwarding, and you can buy access tokens through third parties using crypto. You do not register an account or provide them with any information to use the service, other than the token.

But honestly, Proton is the best route to go.

I really like express VPN, and the app is open source.

Try Orbot. I use it and works pretty great.
