> M247 is extremely popular with VPN providers. A pro-privacy VPN provider should know to avoid upstream’s known for hosting large amounts of VPN traffic. Passing user traffic though M247 is like painting a target on their back to be more heavily spied by security services, such as GCHQ and NSA.
Of course the exact same goes for servers hosted by mullvad themselves.
A VPN provider of their scale just doesn't fly under the radar.
Considering the threat model for most users this is fine. It's good enough for avoiding copyright lawsuits after torrenting. If you're on the radar of state actors, Tor and i2p are a better bet (but I'm sure their exit nodes are heavily monitored too!)
