I used Mullvad for a long time, but hearing about one of the two CEOs actively supporting and financing swedish Nazis, I'm looking to put my money elsewhere. That's the second one after Private Internet Access (who supported Gab).

I had AirVPN and Surfshark being recomnended, how do people here feel? What do you use?

People don't like Surfshark because a while back NordVPN bought them but doesn't explicitly disclose that it's operating two products. The service of either is fine though if all you ever want is to stream or download. Nord's selling point now is that it has many servers and they're fast. Oh and they're operating out of Panama so they don't have to report your traffic to anyone.

But most VPN's aren't doing port forwarding anymore so expect not to be able to upload anything privately. Ones I learned that will still support port forwarding and are accommodating to p2p sharing are Airvpn and Proton (as long as you're actually paying for it). I've only tried AirVPN and the servers were slow but that was years ago. My next subscription with will probably be to Proton.
