    I’m using Mullvad for the last 2 years but day after day I started to notice that some sites are starting to blacklist their IP’s unfortunately. Mullvad still is the best VPN provider we have it is not perfect but I like them.

      I’ve only had this issue with clicking on reddit links from google and all it takes is choosing another server, many times no need to even change the location.

      That said it’s annoying as FUCK, thankfully I don’t use reddit

      And the Ux is really good too. I mean it never gets in your way, is very stable and really easy and intuitive to use. Also the payment options are so straight forward and transparent. No „one month free then 20% discount for the next 5 months“ bullshit and you can pay by mail and crypto if you wanna really stay anonymous. This reads like an ad I know, but it’s just really good.

        Wonderful software, easy payment, great rates, but lack of port forwarding is a major fallback. I understand it was due to a very minor chunk of bad actors, but that minor chunk was hosting CSAM and other horrible internet-accessible things, and no way to track what traffic is where, means they had to remove the feature for the 98% of good faith users.

        But I almost refuse to use AirVPN’s software. It’s so… weird. I’m thankful they support wireguard with zero issues, so I can just use the default network manager and apps for Linux/Android, but that client interface is so backwards compared to Mullvad and iVPN.

            That’s it mainly. Port forwarding improves my torrenting enough to where I get better reliability.

                My internet isnt fast enough, My average download speed for the entire place is maybe 18 MB/s, and 0.5 MB/s upload.

                Torrenting helps solve the problem as I can just tell it to download in chunks and then turn it off when I need more leg room on my copper wire internet from 2003 that AT&T doesn’t change.

                I have some of the slowest speeds where 4G Data is a massive upgrade, so when I need to offload some jpgs to discord or something, its faster if I just send them to my phone and upload that way.

                  And that is exactly the reason to use a seedbox. You can leave it in the cloud to seed at gigabit speeds whilst you can download at your leisure and not worry about tormenting at all on your computer. Also it’s less expensive than Mullvad but you likely can’t pay with XMR/cash if that’s a deal breaker

          Airvpn was so slow for me. Did anyone else had that problem? Couldn’t get 1Gbit down. With Mullvad it was no problem.

    Best VPN on the market for privacy people…

    The linux app does not work properly with portmaster due DNS configuration sadly.
