Sadly I can easily imagine a future where mullvad suffers because big tech simply rangebans all their datacenters (already happens to some degree between cloudflare and individual admins - people are seemingly even banned from using chatgpt if they connect over it, or at least it's involved) and you need the shady residential proxies to actually be able to connect/scrape anything. A self hosted VPS may also work if the company is small enough to avoid the coming BlanketBans, but only time will tell.
