> The EU Commission and several member states are also looking for new rules on data retention. In a new ”Presidency outcome paper”, the member states discuss metadata retention: which websites you visit, and who is communicating with whom, when and how often. The ambition is “to have the broadest possible scope of application” and this time some member states also want the proposal to include VPN services.

VPN is a trust exercise, but, I’m sure if Mullvlad isn’t the best out there, they’re far from the worst.

They are not the best because they no longer support port forwarding. Their IPs are low quality and get you flagged as suspicious.

Which VPN provider doesn’t have their addresses flagged? I know a few offer “residential” IP addresses (for quite the premium), but as I understand it, these are a bit of a grey area and are also usually shared, so usually just a matter of time until they’re banned or flagged as proxy/shared/anonymiser.

I once liked the EU. Well still do it because of the east to travel without borders. But it's leadership is something dangerous and may shape to some form of dictatorship or entity that does not serve its people. But a small minority consisting out of some large companies.

Are you expecting a public IPv4 from a VPN?

Can recommend https://njal.la if you still need port forwarding.
