Mullvad has been around for quite a long time, and regularly releases third-party security audits. Is there anything they've done that comes off as a red flag to you?

If you were to looking for some trust in a VPN, you would want them to offer locations in privacy friendly countries, and highlighting them as such. That would potentially funnel more used to those servers which would be beneficial. You would also want the VPN to ensure the servers in those countries are run by companies based in that country, and not be head-quartered in some other country.
