Mullvad becoming popular with huge ad campaigns is very sus. Either way I don't use it anymore because its ip ranges are banned on most websites.

  Yeah... I can't use Mullvad for several banks in the UK with IPv4 - if I switch to IPv6 in the app settings I sometimes can, but often I have to just disable it completely... I can't use Youtube anonymously (i.e. without logging in) within the last month or so either, as Youtube very often won't play content due to my IP as well...

  I'm also weirded out by how much ad spend they have. Billboards? Ads on buses? Why? I want my VPN provider to be like the domain registrar Gandi, not super well known, consistent, and no-nonsense. I am a Proton user now, mostly because I finally realized VPN came with the email service I was already paying for. No complaints.

    Gandi is sadly not a great example anymore for this, as they raised prices quite a lot over recent years, especially for their email service.

      Come to think of it, that's why I'm on Proton now.
