Mullvad becoming popular with huge ad campaigns is very sus. Either way I don't ...

I'm also weirded out by how much ad spend they have. Billboards? Ads on buses? Why? I want my VPN provider to be like the domain registrar Gandi, not super well known, consistent, and no-nonsense.

I am a Proton user now, mostly because I finally realized VPN came with the email service I was already paying for. No complaints.

Gandi is sadly not a great example anymore for this, as they raised prices quite a lot over recent years, especially for their email service.

Come to think of it, that's why I'm on Proton now.

Yeah...

I can't use Mullvad for several banks in the UK with IPv4 - if I switch to IPv6 in the app settings I sometimes can, but often I have to just disable it completely...

I can't use Youtube anonymously (i.e. without logging in) within the last month or so either, as Youtube very often won't play content due to my IP as well...
