apart from the price (nordvpn is cheaper) can someone please help me make a decision if to switch or stay with nord?
based on the comments in the thread I assume mullvad is better in terms of privacy, security and probably more.
in addition, I don't use streaming services so the netflix selling point does not apply to me.
thanks in advance!

To achieve true privacy, first you must create the universe.
The universe you create is inside the universe you inhabit in, which has no privacy, so the universe you create also has no privacy.
I have PIA paid until December but I'm getting so many captchas with them that I've been seriously considering paying for Mullvad, too. Glad to see people are still happy with them so I can go ahead.
I am currently using nordvpn and my subscription is going to expire pretty soon.

I sincerely apologize for the inconvenience we have caused you. Announcing the removal of a feature such as this a mere 30 days ahead is not how we like to conduct our business in the general case. I expect those of our customers who relied on this feature to be disappointed by its removal as well as the manner in which it was done. Nevertheless it was the right thing to do. The manner and extent in which it came to…
I had no idea this even happened. It would have been useful to show a notice within the app itself (like you do for patch notes?). Maybe you did, and I didn't see it, but I just got done paying for another 6mo on your service being none the wiser.

What sort of abuses you have encountered when dealing with port forwarding? Was it DMCA'd content hosting or were there other major issues with it? Also how does other VPNs that offer port forwarding (like Proton) function against those sort of abuses?
Up front, I believe Mullvad is the best commercial VPN solution and is doing a great job at making good privacy more accessible. However, a lot of the comments here seem to be hailing VPNs in general as the solution to privacy on the internet. I would like to remind people that VPNs only really protect you against two things: your ISP and the endpoint. And that's assuming that your ISP isn't doing some shady analytic…
> that's assuming that your ISP isn't doing some shady analytics Can you elaborate on this? So ISPs often engage in tactics that thwart VPN usage? Which ISPs? What tactics?

They give some examples of things bad actors used port forwarding for in the blog post[1] announcing the removal of the feature. [1]: https://mullvad.net/en/blog/2023/5/29/removing-the-support-f...
Reading between the lines, I'd be very surprised if it wasn't highly undesirable content, i.e. child porn or fraud. This came about a month after a very publicised raid by the Swedish police -- after which they left with nothing [1]. [1] https://www.pcmag.com/news/mullvad-vpn-hit-with-search-warra...

Yet, if you lived there you would be issued a Russian passport, your official documents would be from the Russian state; your police would be Russian. And; if you lived in Laos, Cuba, Cambodia or Afganistan: you would currently be taking the opposite stance. We owe it to ourselves to not permit the affectations of propaganda to convince us that we are consistently right, the truth on the ground is much more complicat…
Russian passport, your official documents would be from the Russian state; your police would be Russian And, most likely, your personal allegiance would be Russian.
