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.

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.

They also support payment in Monero so you don’t even need your crypto chain
