    In the last couple of months I just bought 12 months through a voucher that is no more so doubt I’d get a refund, so I’ve got some time to decide. I swear everything I look into deep enough has something going wrong with it, but I guess all we can do it take the battles we can handle.

      I added 4 months about a week ago, applied for a refund today, and it was approved today. I believe the only chance we have of mullvad removing the ahole is a mass of refunds, customers need to show they care. My timing was of course very lucky in this respect.

      My first vpn provider was called vpnarea, had them for a few years, and ended up paying for a 2, or 3 year discounted block, before they vanished and took my money with them.

      I appreciate that mullvad doesn’t do any of that ‘60% off’ bs, and I can/could just pay for 3 months, or 5 months, or whatever

      it’s a trash industry, decent resources are very difficult to find, everyone is recommending nord etc with affiliate links, heaps of vpn company sites lack pertinent details, have servers in countries they shouldn’t, or don’t have servers where they should, are owned, or based in dodgy countries etc etc. Many of them appear to suck for linux completely, or unless you are using vanilla ubuntu, or fedora etc
