‘eastdakota:
How would you candidly compare guarantees/expectations of Mullvad VPN vs your Cloudflare Warp VPN with respect to:
- privacy, but also
- performance.
As a side note, I really value using a certain popular torrent box VM service for $10/mo is that they provide SSH and OpenVPN. I’ve used that VPN a lot when I worked in GCC countries (Saudi Arabia, UAE, Bahrain) to help me get around national HTTP blocklists. Most every other VPN I tried was blocked, or would get blocked after a certain # of GB sent in a certain timespan. I think the torrent box servers were located in minor data centers which weren’t on their list of “high potential risk” so they bypassed the otherwise pretty thorough blocks.
The server I used was also located in the United States which helped a ton with proper localization and accessing my bank accounts/etc which were otherwise sometimes more difficult to use from other countries.
- robcohen 4y agoWhy use openVPN anymore when you can easily use Wireguard instead?
- e12e 4y agoNot sure what you mean - mullvad supports using wireguard?
- matt74827289 4y agoNot sure what you mean - he never implied that mullvad didn't support wireguard. He was asking why the original commenter used OpenVPN over wireguard.
- e12e 4y agoAh, I missed that part skimming the gp post.

- runnerup 4y agoPotentially just ignorance, I’m aware of wirefuard and I use their client for my MacBooks but I haven’t taken time to investigate any of the differences, pros, or cons. Will do that now, thank you for prompting me!
