    PEBCAK, too much Fakebook and the lack of common sense. For the rest of 10% maybe enough an VPN and updated devices.

    Why is mullvad shilled so hard?

    It looks like it’s more expensive than other VPNs with no justifiable reason. It even has less features than some of the cheaper VPNs.

          They never do any sponsorship deals, they haven’t been in any controversies, they aren’t based in the us, they don’t use any marketing tricks to try and entice users into using it like discounts or insanely high prices unless you elect for a 12 or 24 month plan, the high price gives them less incentive to log user data.

          There is no specific reason but all these things add up to make a trustworthy product.

    Thank you! If you want to take your Mulvad game to the next level then add NextDNS to its custom DNS option in Mulvad’s settings.

      NextDNS works because it uses several public lists, but it’s kind of abandoned and HaGeZi removed it from his recommended DNS services because of the complete lack of customer support. The guys from NextDNS moved to dns0.eu. You can set Mullvad’s own DNS service in the browser, and being an ecosystem specialized in privacy, a much bigger company, and having curated lists instead of just shoving tons of public lists without checking for duplicates (NextDNS), correct me if I’m wrong, but I think Mullvad’s DNS probably offers a more concise service.
