Disclaimer; I'm not looking for a VPN service, I already have one. I know TechRadar is not a great source too. I am simply doing research around VPNs in general.
I am just wondering why DDG is suggesting this link over a link without a reference? Is this "the blame" of DDG or Techradar? Trying to understand why this is the link being served over others. Appriciate any suggestions.
Mullvad appears to have been review bombed lately due to removal of port forwarding and people say it has back slid recently... any opinions on that?
Proton VPN looks solid though
Mullvad remains top dog when it comes to privacy. You can still torrent without port forwarding, it's just more limited. If you need port forwarding, then is give Windscribe a go. While most people will recommend ProtonVPN, with good reason, I personally prefer to stick with the underdogs.
This is a fascinating topic for me, I would love to hear your reasoning for sticking with the underdog. Is it just a "stick it to the man" scenario or is there some more practical reason?
It's basically the same reason for why I choose to shop locally rather than buying things online. I despise monopoly and will always, if still practical, choose the second option. Also sometimes you can tell there is more passion coming from smaller Devs and communities, I feel like that's the case here too.
Windscribe has hilarious marketing, seriously, check it out. But their products are also just solid, and works on Linux. They also make the service called ControlD, which is also a great service.
