Mullvad review

Mullvad is built for people who care most about privacy. You do not sign up with an email: you get a generated account number and pay, including by mailing cash in an envelope. The price is a flat 5 euros a month, shown as equivalent to $5.57, and it is the same whether you pay for a month, a year or longer, so there are no first-year discounts that jump at renewal. Mullvad says its price has never changed. It keeps no logs and markets its service for getting around censorship. One account covers up to 5 devices across Windows, macOS, Linux, iOS and Android, and there is a 14-day money-back guarantee except for cash payments. The tradeoff for travelers is that Mullvad does not promote streaming access, so it is a better fit for safe browsing on public Wi-Fi than for watching home TV services abroad.
