Perfect VPN! Trustable regarding no logs, payment via crypto possible and you don’t need an E-Mail to login. UI and some functions could be added, however otherwise it is perfect. No KYC and Prepaid payment scheme.
Honestly, Mullvad VPN feels like the open-source lovechild of digital privacy and network engineering. They didn’t just slap Tor support in - they collaborated with Tor devs to bake anonymity into their browser. Paying with Monero? Of course.
Their WireGuard implementation is buttery smooth, and watching their DNS sinkholes vaporize trackers gives me that warm, fuzzy feeling. The cross-platform clients? So clean you’d think they actually dogfood their own stack.
Seriously, this is what happens when infrastructure geeks prioritize privacy over profit margins. Thank you guys!
Mullvad is the OG’s VPN, they take Monero since day one. They are truly fighting for privacy. Forget about Proton, use Mullvad or iVPN!!!
One of the best options out there if you care about privacy. No email, no KYC just a random ID and you’re in. Speeds are decent and it works well with most services. Dropping one star only because some streaming sites don’t work and the mobile app could use more features. Still highly recommended.
Great service. i think kycnot.me follows the same idea as Mullvad for login.
All VPNs require trust in the provider to some degree, but Mullvad is just about the best you can get in the traditional VPN world. No KYC, no accounts, they don’t even require an email. You can pay with crypto or cash. Open source and audited. Privacy-friendly jurisdiction. RAM-only servers. etc
Big Vouch for Mullvad, I’ve been using them for years. It’s the fastest public VPN I have ever used.
Mullvad still has OpenVPN support, but it’s being removed in 2026. Your AI summary is incorrect. What do you mean by “questionable ads”?
Pros: Wireguard and OpenVPN support (OpenVPN is leaving in 2026) No username or password required to sign up Ram servers No bullshit promotion/discount codes so there’s no FOMO No logs DAITA Support Extremely fast speeds, maxes out my gigabit connection DNS Ad blocker Some first party servers Regular infrastructure & client audits Got raided and the feds came out with nothing Accepts Monero & Cash OpenVPN & Wireguard config generator (Good if you want to use your own clients) Multi hop support Honest marketing, they don’t pay influencers.
Cons: IPs can sometimes be blocked on YouTube, Reddit especially when using DAITA as it’s on limited servers. No port forwarding Doesn’t always play nice with streaming services, this isn’t an issue for me. Shoutout Plex and Jellyfin.
If you care about privacy and want to blend in with the crowd, get Mullvad.

The AI summary is a summary of what has been said in the comment section. A user mentioned something about Mullvad’s recent advertising. The summary is not wrong, since both things have been mentioned in the comments, maybe the users who commented this information were wrong.
Been using it for the last five years without issue. Depending on where you live I recommend cash by mail as for me it has always worked within 1 to 2 weeks.
Great VPN, smart login systém, but often blocked by services
That’s what you get for a privacy-first VPN. Of course people are going to use the IP’s for nefarious things
last time I bought their subscription they didn’t provide protocols for DPI bypass (VLESS/VMESS/Trojan/etc), so they were unusable in censorship-heavy countries. please correct me in replies if it’s not the case anymore
Fixed 5 bucks VPN. No issue at all on their service. But recent advertising seems money wasting and questionable against their statement, like they said no affiliates, no data selling. Well, Mullvad is free to switch business model (no discount for period) so I just switch when I feel more uncomfortable. Right now everything is smooth.
Mulvad is one of the best VPNs around, certainly. They also accept Monero.
Good VPN provider, but it’s bad that they removed OpenVPN support. Wasting money on billboard ads seems to have higher priority, than supporting variety of protocols.
I love Mullvad VPN and have been using it for more than a year. It’s very fast and my internet loss is about 2%, which is perfectly fine.
Also, you can create an account without KYC, so without giving your name and email address, which is very important.
I also find the Mullvad browser with Mullvad VPN very good.
A very good VPN provider. Reliable, open source, and audited. However, their IP addresses are well-known, so YouTube and some websites with strict Cloudflare protections may block them. Switching to less popular server locations usually solves the problem.
The best VPN, I have been a betatester of theirs for years. You can pay multiple months through resellers.
Have been using for years, easy payment by cash if you’re in EU or crypto. Support welcomes feedback and new privacy-focused payment method suggestions for implementation. They also have been raided by Sweden police and found absolutely nothing on their servers.
