Mullvad Review
One flat price, no account email, no discount tiers.
Mullvad charges the same flat rate regardless of how long you subscribe for — there's no 2-year discount to chase, and no account email is required; it assigns an anonymous account number instead, with cash and cryptocurrency accepted as payment.
Based in Sweden, it publishes a straightforward no-logs statement and cites a 2020 third-party infrastructure audit. Its apps are open source, and it offers DAITA, a traffic-obfuscation feature aimed at resisting network-traffic analysis.
