I've been using Mullvad for the past few months. Have not had many issues with it aside from the 5 device limit and the removal of port forwarding. I'm currently looking at Private Internet Access as a potential replacement. It looks like it offers 10 device limit and port forwarding included with the price.

Anyone using PIA? How's the experience?

Edit: Probably should have mentioned, feel free to offer any other recommendations, I'm not attached to, or against any specific recommendations. I would like it to have a GUI available on Linux though if possible.

I moved off PIA after they were bought by a former ad-ware distributor, and I've been on Proton VPN since.

They do currently have a Linux GUI, though it's extensively lacking compared to the Windows client, and the CLI / DIY methods for using their service is much more flushed out.

That's not to say it's a bad client, it's just very much not what they advertise feature-wise. The speeds and server-availability are all great, and these days it's all bundled into a "Proton Account" that gives you VPN, Email, and Cloud Storage based on your tier.
