MODERATORS
Mullvad, IVPN, and Proton are the top tier for privacy respecting VPNs.
Windscribe and AirVPN are also decent options but do not have the audit history to be in the same tier as the other 3.
Most other VPNs people mention either have a dubious history or no real proof of their claims to be privacy respecting.
Plus one to Proton. They recently moved to a not-for-profit model because they believe it will help them better protect their customers interests
They also lowered prices when their costs went down a year or so ago
And they're continuing to put out more and more apps and features without increasing prices or any of that bullshit. They grandfathered my Proton Prime plan or whatever it was called without any interruption of service when they got rid of the plan. Basically, they just do a lot of great things
Same, I got grandfathered into the unlimited plan at only $5ish a month. I really can't beat that.
+1 for proton. Been using them for years now.
Windsribe also has a big advantage for price with their "Build a plan" in that you can pick a few locations and only spend $3 a month without needing to deal with any coupons/sales or long term purchases.
Yeah. The 2$/month port forwarding option can also be a great deal as well especially if combined with the lifetime pro memberships they used to sell for $30 back in the 2010s.
