alt Hacker NewsI know multiple people who worked / working at Mullvad and they take their business, security and privacy _very_ seriously. Not surprised to see them shine here.

I knew they were going to pass the test before I even clicked the article link.
At risk of sounding sale pitch'y. Mullvad is the only VPN the longer I use the more I like it. I've tried MANY competitors first and all the other ones so far seem to only get worse over time.
I love that I can pay directly with a crypto wallet and have true anonymity.
Windscribe and iVPN up there with Mullvad in TFA.

? TFA reflects on dishonest marketing on part of public VPN providers more than privacy / security.
That said, VPNs don't add much security, though, they are useful for geo unblocking content and (at some level) anti-censorship. In my experience, the mainstream public VPNs don't really match up to dedicated censorship-resistant networks run by Psiphon, Lantern, Tor (and possibly others).
Coincidentally, Mullvad, Windscribe and IVPN all worked when I was in China behind GFW, while more popular options did not.
Seems like there are VPNs, and then there are VPNs.
