Hey everyone,
My mullvad sub is about to expire, so I’m deciding whether to just pre-pay for another year or switch to something else. I typically just use it for blanket protection when using my computer or phone, but have been thinking I might like to set up a torrent box proxied through a VPN, too. (I have kids, so I may not have time for this for a while, tbh.)
My general understanding is that people like mullvad and also like ProtonVPN. Any general suggestions/thoughts?
If you can only get one, you want proton. It costs as much as two though, so make sure no identifying information ties it back to you and don’t use crossable metadata for login or auth.
For general purposes get mulvad. Pay with cash. Why not set up a new account while you’re at it, always good to rotate those credentials.
For port forwarding air is cheap. Three or so bucks a month when you buy all at once.
Bind your interfaces if you’re doing port forwarding.
