    Didn’t know mullvad is Swedish, cool. Wonder how they compare to NordVPN? Not an expert and I felt like the rabbit hole got deeper and deeper trying to make a proper purchase decision before committing to a specific VPN…

      I used NordVPN initially, switched over to Mullvad and haven’t switches back in 2+ years. It’s pretty much on par in terms of performance, and is more privacy focused than Nord

        Yeah they have a pretty widespread ad campaign. Never tried them though, wondering if it is all marketing or is it good?

            Okay so I’m getting quite good vibes from Mullvad (already had a good impression). Guess I’ll give it a buy especially now that I know it’s Swedish!

              Late to the party but i went from expressvpn > nord > mullvad and then have been with mullvad for a few years now.

              I know mullvad works because it breaks a lot of sites that dont like that they cant identify me / are blocking mullvads external IP’s. Nord’s ad campaign and ease of use always felt vaguely ‘too good’ to feel like i was really obfuscated (although i know that doesnt make my gut feeling correct either)

              Either way, yeah mullvad is amazing, cheap, and hasnt given me a single reason yet to question it.

              Hope the same goes for you!

                I have looked exactly at those three options and the comparison table I made started to get overwhelming. I really appreciate the review and experiences and am convinced I’ll go with mullvad. Thank you!
