None of these are seriously privacy-centric VPNs. I was very pleased to not see any of my old favorites (AirVPN, IVPN, Mullvad and PIA).

Although it's not easy to find them on their site, I believe that the https://cure53.de/ vulnerability assessments are more interesting. Google "vpn site:cure53.de".




Mullvad is great! They don't require email, and they accept crypto for payment.


And together with AzireVPN one of the few working with WireGuard!


Also IVPN, and they posted about issues with using WireGuard in privacy-friendly ways: https://www.ivpn.net/knowledgebase/254/Using-WireGuard-for-P...


Yep, IVPN user here. Couldn't be happier. Have used 3 other VPNs over the years, IVPN's privacy, features, speed, and corporate policies are the best I've found.

Just a satisfied user. Its 2x what I used to pay, but IMO it's worth it. I don't think it's /always/ true "you get what you pay for", but sometimes it really is.


AirVPN user since 2015 here, and happy since.

Glad I chose one of the better ones, their mission list, that they have a status page, that their servers are named after stars and my subjective opinion, that "AirVPN" is actually a bad name (a transparent privacy tunnel?), all pointed me towards believing there are actual nerds behind that one, and in this topic, I consider that very important...


They started as a collective, somewhat like Autistici/Inventati and Riseup, in France. And moved to Italy after the French police took one of their servers.
