I’ve been using Mullvad for the past few months. Have not had many issues with it aside from the 5 device limit and the removal of port forwarding. I’m currently looking at Private Internet Access as a potential replacement. It looks like it offers 10 device limit and port forwarding included with the price.

Anyone using PIA? How’s the experience?

Edit: Probably should have mentioned, feel free to offer any other recommendations, I’m not attached to, or against any specific recommendations. I would like it to have a GUI available on Linux though if possible.

    Basically 3 good choices

    ProtonVPN AirVPN IVPN

    Proton has a 50% off student discount bringing the price down to $5 a month for all proton services.

    IVPN is probably the best but most expensive.

        There’s nothing inherently wrong with windscribe but I don’t trust any company that offers a cheap lifetime plan for something that requires so much upkeep.

          @MedicareForSome they don’t offer lifetime plans anymore, but the prices are cheap - perhaps suspiciously so. I think they rely on people paying and not using to subsidize the heavy users (like myself).

      Where do you see Proton being 50% off for students?
      I can’t find anything about that.

        They don’t advertise it, just message support from your .edu email and tell them your username. They’ll apply it and let you use the STUDENT promo code. It’s 50% off the year plan so $5 a month.
