Is it worth it to wait 2 weeks and like also the possible additional costs with shipping and all that? I would not buy voucher either way cuz I don't like amazon.

Also, how did you buy it if you have?

Never tried it with them, my threat model doesn't warrant it. But it's good it's there.

Note that Mullvad even obfuscates bank transfers. They match your wire transmission via a temporary code you attach to the bank wire. That way

yes, Mullvad could theoretically know your identity (but it's been shown repeatedly that they aren't; also, they will always know your real IP that is attached to your ID, unless you obfuscate that to them as well via a second VPN)
your bank knows you use Mullvad (but so does your ISP), but they do not know your Mullvad user ID or anything you do with it.
