I’m thinking about paying for a VPN, I currently don’t use one.
I’d like to use Mullvad but they don’t seem to have regional prices, while Proton does.
I wonder if Proton is still a reliable option, Proton is 60% cheaper in my country, probably because regional pricing (but I didn’t check if it’s really the case).
If anyone has any other suggestion I’d like to hear it.
I chose Mullvad because they don’t ask for any personal details and you can pay anonymously, which means that their service is privacy protecting by design. You don’t have to rely so much on trust.
Proton seems to be a large and rapidly expanding company which looks like it’s trying to be a more privacy respecting competitor to Google’s many services. While that’s not necessarily a bad thing, I prefer companies that value stability over rapid expansion. I also don’t like relying on a potential single point of failure for everything. I have a Proton e-mail account but I don’t use any of their other services because I don’t want everything in the same place.
