    Why is mullvad shilled so hard?

    It looks like it’s more expensive than other VPNs with no justifiable reason. It even has less features than some of the cheaper VPNs.

          They never do any sponsorship deals, they haven’t been in any controversies, they aren’t based in the us, they don’t use any marketing tricks to try and entice users into using it like discounts or insanely high prices unless you elect for a 12 or 24 month plan, the high price gives them less incentive to log user data.

          There is no specific reason but all these things add up to make a trustworthy product.
