I currently use ExpressVPN and find it ok. In the past I’ve used Mullvad and AirVPN and tbh I think they were all fine.
However, I would probably trust a provider more if there has been an actual case where police tried getting the logs and the VPN provider gave them nothing.
For me I really distrust NordVPN because this provider is just so overshilled everywhere - like even on national TV NordVPN have ads, which for me is just a red flag.
Curious here to know what the consensus here is about the different VPN providers.
Mullvad.
Shit you can pay for the service by anonymously mailing them cash.
You don’t even create an account with them either.
You technically do, but the account is literally a random number that you attach payments to.
so what’s the benefit here? just to not broadcast to your credit card/crypto chain that you purchased it? i assume they still have logs with the ip address you’re connecting from
They don’t keep logs, and are audited to prove that. When you sign up, you get an ID number, they don’t ask for your name or email or anything. There’s no password either.
i’ll have to read their audit. thanks for the pointer
They also support payment in Monero so you don’t even need your crypto chain

Their servers are also RAM only, with no permanent storage at all. They load the OS and software from a network every time they need to reboot a server.
It’s physically impossible for them to keep logs.
interesting. thanks for the info
Could you give some pointers on how you can mail them cash anonymously?
You put cash in an envelope, write their address on it, apply sufficient postage and don’t include a return address. Or if the postal services in your home country require one, put any random address on the envelope.
Together with the physical cash, you include a payment token that’s randomly generated on their website to link it with the correct account. Done.
Thanks!
