ok so ive been looking into mullvad again yeah? everyone loves those flashy vpns with a million servers and streaming tricks but nobody talks about the quiet ones that actually care about privacy. mullvad's like that quiet weird kid who ends up being a beast. no logs, no email just a random number, and it's in sweden which is supposed to be like privacy heaven i guess. but then i see ppl mentioning issues and it hits me maybe nobody talks about it because it's. too basic? no extras, no fancy apps, just a straight up vpn with ok speeds and good privacy. here's the thing tho - i was testing different protocols and tbh it's not the fastest, especially with openvpn, but it's steady which is rare these days. streaming? meh not their focus. torrenting? idk i'd be careful with that whole privacy-first thing. kinda worries me that it's not talked about much because it's perfect if you just want privacy without the bs but maybe that's the issue. less marketing less hype more privacy. ymmv but i think mullvad's kinda underrated and that's lowkey scary.
