I once saw people also recommend airvpn in the same context as ivpn, do they also have some issues or are they just too unknown?
I like IVPN because it feels like a pretty drop-in replacement for Mullvad. It's also available on Accrescent which is great for anyone using GrapheneOS.
As for AirVPN, I thought you needed an email to sign up but after checking their sign up page, it seems you can enter whatever string you want for your email.
They also support port forwarding unlike IVPN so if that's super important to you maybe AirVPN is the way to go.
It also seems AirVPN is slightly cheaper year by year and significantly cheaper if you buy 3 years at a time.
AirVPN has never had an independent security audit though, so if that concerns you IVPN is the way to go.
Otherwise, it seems like AirVPN is a real contender if you're worried about price and/or port forwarding. Maybe I'll give both of them a try before I commit to one (still waiting for my Mullvad days to run out).
