Great benefit. I also recommend to find a reputable masked card service provider if you plan to use a credit/debit card. Autopay is just another way for banks and providers to circumvent overdraft protection legislation and hopefully new legislation will remove any "perks" that providers offer for autopay services.

I've always loved that Mullvad wouldn't let you accidentally compromise your own security.

For example, the port-forwarding feature won't work if you have a recurring subscription.

This just extends that kind of thinking to the service in general.

Been a Mullvad customer for a long time now, and it's always been awesome.

I would love to know if there are any of these in the EU – US friends of mine have mentioned privacy.com but I am unaware of a similar service in the UK.

No need, just send them cash in an envelope, which works just as well.

I wish more services supported this, but I understand it adds a lot of hassle for them as well.
