- 2OEH8eoCRo0 4y agoMullvad is not small.
- jchw 4y agoTrue that. IIRC Mullvad was literally the world’s largest Wireguard deployment until Cloudflare did Warp. Just because people haven’t heard of it doesn’t mean it’s small. They just don’t advertise on shitty podcasts, so it doesn’t have the same brand recognition.
- scoopertrooper 4y agoWould you accept RC Cola? - A loyal Mullvad customer
- junon 4y agoIf mullvad is RC Cola then I'll switch immediately. Love that stuff.
- throwaway92394 4y agoMullvad isn't small, and I'm not sure how Nord specifically compares, but its probaubly worth noting they mostly use 100TB, Tzulo, Quadranet, M247, and 31173. They use a bunch of others but not much. Mullvad for obvious reasons is used for less... wonderful usecases. It's not uncommon for websites to block you due to abuse from that exit. ASN blocking is rather common with mullvad too though that's less avoidable. I have less info on Nord, although I can see it has about 4x the ip's. No idea if they are more diverse network wise. Their accepted payment methods suck though.
- ThatMedicIsASpy 4y agoI saw NordVPN ads in German TV. At this point I would say they invest all of their money into marketing - my reason for never ever buying their product. I haven't had any issues in terms of blocking on mullvad but my sample size is small since I don't change the servers that often.
- throwaway92394 4y agoYeah my impression is they're all marketing and care relatively little about privacy. How you can claim to care about privacy but still require an email is beyond me.
- 9935c101ab17a66 4y agoWhy does size matter? Mullvad is fast, has quite a few locations/endpoints, and good service.
