Thinking of trying a VPN? [View all]

Since tsf stole the last election, there's been an uptick in enquires on DU about using a VPN.
I've been using Mullvad on and off for several years. It has a couple of advantages over others;
-No need to enter an email addy; transactions are carried out by account number
-Pay by the month when you need it. No yearly subscription. Flat rate of 5 euros a month. You can renew each month or not use for several months then reactivate with your account number.
-Filter ads, malware and other nasties

The Bottom Line

Mullvad VPN has a sterling reputation for securing your connection and protecting your privacy, all for an unbeatable price.
Per Month, Starts at $5.55 US

No, I'm not connected to the company in any way, just find their product to be a good, effective one. Easy to set up and use, perfect for DUers who wish to have extra privacy in these trying times.
