Not particularly pleased about the decision when OpenVPN is the most supported protocol.

Meanwhile their competitor IVPN even does IPsec.

First port-forward and now this I mean I get it but being versatile is more important in a VPN for me so no more Mullvad for me. I'll be moving to either windscribe or AirVPN

I switched to Air, its the slowest VPN I've ever used and I'm considering switching back once my subscription is up

Can second AirVPN being slow as shit

[–] LazerDickMcCheese@sh.itjust.works 1 points 8 months ago

Good to hear I'm not alone

[–] aprehendedmerlin@lemmy.dbzer0.com 2 points 8 months ago

Is that so. I also think that windscribe is better

Hide.me is decent. Last i read Azire is solid too.

windscribe goes on sale a few time in the year. You can get it for 29$ a year which is a great price and for 20$ more you have static IP and permanent port-forwarding. It's a great deal for a trustworthy and feature rich VPN in my opinion
