Mullvad VPN, the privacy-first option nobody talks about

[Keystone]

Honestly I'm sick of all these mainstream VPNs that claim to be privacy-focused but then log your data or have shady ownership. Mullvad is like that quiet kid in the corner who actually does his homework. No emails, no account creation, just a random number. You pay via cash or crypto if you wanna keep things really anonymous. But heres the thing, why do so many people overlook it? Sure, it's not flashy, no fancy streaming features, no multihop configs, but for someone who actually cares about privacy and minimal logs, this is what I'd call a hidden gem. Anyone here actually tried it long-term? How's the speed, stability, or even the connection quality? I don't get why it's not more popular outside the privacy circles. I mean, I get it's a bit barebones but if you're serious about not being tracked, isn't that what really matters? ymmv, but I'd rather use Mullvad than some of these big brands that make big promises but still keep logs or sell data.

Over 80% of the VPNs claim privacy but still keep logs or sell data, so I get the frustration. But my experience with Mullvad has been different, I actually find their connection pretty solid long-term and not as
