ProtonVPN or Mullvad? Why would you choose one over another? (lemmy.world)

I'm thinking about paying for a VPN, I currently don't use one.

I'd like to use Mullvad but they don't seem to have regional prices, while Proton does.

I wonder if Proton is still a reliable option, Proton is 60% cheaper in my country, probably because regional pricing (but I didn't check if it's really the case).

If anyone has any other suggestion I'd like to hear it.

Yes locks on your door are pointless because if someone wants to break into your house they're going to do it once way or another, especially if you leave the window open

This is a dumb take.

You are right, your take is really dumb. So why do you share it?

A dumb take is, to pay for something you might get nothing from. But hey, you do you... VPN-providers are happy for people like you.
