I use mullvad and the main reasons I pay the 5$ a month are: 1) I do believe it is quite private 2) the socksv5 proxy is useful to prevent qbittorrent connecting to the internet at work by mistake 3) if the network is spotty or a bit unstable the vpn hides the instability from apps 4) I don't trust my isp DNS 5) geoblocking (mullvad is not the best at this though)
