Hello, all

I’m sorry if there is an FAQ somewhere. My VPN is about enter it’s yearly billing cycle and I thought I would come over here and see if anyone had a better suggestion. I’ve been using IPvanish for the last 10 years and have been pretty satisfied. I picked it by going into the darkweb and seeing what the criminals recommended to each other.

If anyone has other suggestions or tales before I renew, I would love to check it out.

Njalla, hands down.

Co-founded by Peter Sunde of The Pirate Bay fame. Run by a great little crew that cares about privacy. They do VPN, domains, and hosting.

Wireguard and OpenVPN. Your external IP periodically rotates through the pool, but at least all ports are forwarded.

Too bad almost nobody knows about them. They even have a Wiki page, ffs!

Mullvad apparently no longer supports port forwarding. This better in tailscale?

Firefox VPN is cheaper isn’t it, and funds the Firefox nonprofit?

If you can live without port forwarding, mullvad is another great option.

OVPN is a 1-to-1 feature clone of mullvad (wireguard, multiple device keys, crypto payments/cash in the mail, no usernames/emails, etc.) AND has port forwarding. Switched to them when mullvad sadly closed their ports, no problems since. Can’t live without port forwarding.

+1 for OVPN. I switched to them from Mullvad for the same reason. They are also one of the more trustworthy VPNs in my book ever since they actually won a court case proving that they actually practise what they advertise.

It’s what I use and it works well for me. It seemed like the best option when I was researching this recently. Plus the icon is cute.
