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.

I used to have Mullvad and switched to Proton because I use pretty much their entire suite...

If you don't need port forwarding, I think Mullvad is superior in everything. Such a great service, highly recommend it.

There's Port Forwarding with Proton VPN too

Yes there's port forwarding with proton, but not with mullvad they removed it.

Oooh, that's sad I wanted to switch to Mullvad VPN in the future. For now I'm stuck with Proton since I use their entire setup. Well, mostly mail and VPN.

In the paid plan
