Looks like this paragraph cuts off with “IVPN has not only...”

Also what do strong and premium mean in this context? I think they make this look too much like an advertisement by them.

Another issue is that the country name is missing showing only the flag which I don't recognise.

Shouldn't there be a warning symbol here? (This is not a blocker for my approval.)

Yes you're right. I've changed that to a yellow badge.

I think I began to do something with that, but then got distracted.

I have also changed the number of servers, to countries. @JonahAragon and I think this is more accurate. A larger VPN provider will require more servers obviously, it's where they are relative to users that is important.

I do not know, I did not write that originally. I think we should just remove the word strong, it sounds better I think.

To be honest, i don't really like that description at all for any of the providers.

Mullvad is a fast and inexpensive VPN with a serious focus on transparency and security.

Kinda makes it sound like it's cheap, also all the providers we choose have transparency and security.

ProtonVPN is a strong contender in the VPN space

What does that even mean?

IVPN is another premium VPN provider

Does sound better than "strong premium".

We might revisit this in another PR, it's fine for the time being I guess.

In this case, I would say all 3 providers are "premium" or "good" VPN providers, as they use dedicated servers, and support other things such as IPv6, remote port forwarding, have had audits etc.

There's a lot of crappy VPN providers out there, we don't list those. Hence the another. The wording wasn't mine to begin with but that's what I understand it to be.

LGTM. Small suggestion, I wonder if it’s worth calling out further that due to AntiTracker, IVPN is the only recommended provider that includes ad and tracker blocking at the network level?
