Mullvad - EUR €60/y + {% include badge.html color="info" text="EUR €60/y" %}

Mullvad.net is a fast and inexpensive VPN with a serious focus on transparency and security. They have been in operation since 2009. Mullvad is based in Sweden and does not have a free trial.

-
35 Countries
+
{% include badge.html color="success" text="35 Countries" %}

Mullvad has servers in 35 countries at the time of writing this page. Picking a VPN provider with a server nearest to you will reduce latency of the network traffic you send. This is because of a shorter route (less hops) to the destination.

We also think it's better for the security of the VPN provider's private keys if they use dedicated servers, instead of cheaper shared solutions (with other customers) such as virtual private servers.

-
Independently Audited
+
{% include badge.html color="success" text="Independently Audited" %}

Mullvad's VPN clients have been audited by Cure53 and Assured AB in a pentest report published at cure53.de. The security researchers concluded:

...Cure53 and Assured AB are happy with the results of the audit and the software leaves an overall positive impression. With security dedication of the in-house team at the Mullvad VPN compound, the testers have no doubts about the project being on the right track from a security standpoint.

-
WireGuard Support
+
{% include badge.html color="success" text="WireGuard Support" %}

In addition to standard OpenVPN connections, Mullvad supports WireGuard. WireGuard is an experimental protocol with theoretically better security and higher reliability, although it is not currently recommended for production use.

-
IPv6 Support
+
{% include badge.html color="success" text="IPv6 Support" %}

Mullvad supports the future of networking IPv6. Their network allows users to access services hosted on IPv6 as opposed to other providers who block IPv6 connections.

-
Remote Port Forwarding
+
{% include badge.html color="success" text="Remote Port Forwarding" %}

-
Mobile Clients
+
{% include badge.html color="success" text="Mobile Clients" %}

Mullvad has published App Store and Google Play clients, both supporting an easy-to use interface as opposed to requiring users to manual configure their WireGuard connections.

As of January 2020 ProtonVPN has undergone an independent audit by SEC Consult. SEC Consult found some medium and low risk vulnerabilities in ProtonVPN's Windows, Android, and iOS applications, all of which were "properly fixed" by ProtonVPN before the reports were published. None of the issues identified would have provided an attacker remote access to a user's device or traffic. You can view individual reports for each platform at protonvpn.com. -
